IT Partner Guide: Offering Cybersecurity with Easy Cyber Protection
As an IT partner, you are already the trusted advisor for your clients' technology needs. Cybersecurity is now the number one concern for Belgian SMEs - and they are looking to you for answers. Easy Cyber Protection gives you the tools, margins, and support to deliver professional cybersecurity services without becoming a security specialist yourself.
Why Partner with Easy Cyber Protection?
The cybersecurity market for Belgian SMEs is exploding. NIS2 regulations, increasing cyber attacks, and insurance requirements are driving demand. But most IT partners lack the specialized knowledge to offer comprehensive security services. That is where we come in.
Your Clients Are Asking
Every week, your clients hear about ransomware attacks and data breaches. They want to know if they are protected. Without a security offering, you risk losing them to competitors who do.
Regulations Are Mandatory
NIS2 and CyberFundamentals are not optional for many Belgian businesses. Your clients need to comply - and they need someone to guide them. Be that someone.
Recurring Revenue Model
Move beyond one-time projects to predictable monthly revenue. Security is not a one-and-done service - it requires ongoing attention, which means ongoing income for you.
No Expertise Required
You do not need CISSP certification or a security background. Our platform handles the framework complexity. You focus on the client relationship.

Client Conversation Starters
Not sure how to bring up cybersecurity? Try these proven approaches:
""I have been reading about ransomware attacks hitting Belgian companies. How confident are you in your current protection?""
Most clients will admit uncertainty. That is your opening to discuss a security assessment.
""Did you see that [local company] was hit by a cyber attack? It made me think - when did we last review your security posture?""
Recent news makes the threat real and immediate.
""Your insurance company will likely start requiring cybersecurity measures soon. Would you like to get ahead of that?""
Insurance requirements are a strong motivator - they make it a business decision, not a technical one.
""As we renew our agreement, I wanted to discuss adding security monitoring. It is becoming standard for businesses like yours.""
Bundling with existing services increases perceived value.
Handling Common Objections
""We are too small to be a target""
43% of cyber attacks target small businesses specifically because they have weaker defenses. Criminals know this and actively seek out smaller targets.
43% of attacks target SMEs""We already have antivirus""
Antivirus is one piece of a larger puzzle. Modern threats require layered security - access control, backup verification, employee training, and compliance documentation.
Antivirus alone blocks only 40% of modern threats""It is too expensive""
The average ransomware payment for SMEs is 170,000 EUR - not including downtime costs. Compare that to 150 EUR per month for proper protection.
Prevention costs 1% of a typical breach""We do not have time for this""
That is exactly why you need a managed solution. We handle the complexity - your team spends just 30 minutes per week on security tasks.
30 min/week average time investment""Can we do this later?""
NIS2 compliance deadlines are already here. Waiting means higher costs, rushed implementation, and potential fines. Starting now gives you time to do it right.
NIS2 fines up to 10M EUR or 2% of turnoverPartner Success Stories

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need security expertise to partner?
No. Our platform is designed for IT generalists. We handle the framework complexity, compliance tracking, and technical security details. You need to understand your clients' business needs and be comfortable explaining why security matters - we provide training for both.
How much can I earn per client?
Margins range from 10-15 EUR per month for Small tier clients to 70-100 EUR for Important tier. Most partners average 30-45 EUR per client on the popular Basic tier. With 20 clients, that is 600-900 EUR recurring monthly revenue with minimal ongoing effort.
Can I white-label the platform?
Yes. White-label options let you present the platform under your own brand. Your clients see your logo, your colors, and your name. This strengthens your relationship and positions you as the security provider, not a reseller.
What support do partners get?
Partners receive: dedicated partner portal, marketing materials library, technical knowledge base, direct support escalation line, quarterly partner webinars, and access to our partner success team. Premium partners also get a dedicated account manager.
How do I onboard my first client?
After completing partner certification (2 hours), you get access to our proven onboarding process: client assessment template, proposal generator, implementation checklist, and training materials. Most partners close their first client within 2 weeks of certification.
