Reselling privileged access: the PDAccess partner model

How the PDAccess partner program lets you resell privileged access as a service.

What the Partner Program Is

The PDAccess partner program is simple to state: you resell PDAccess as a service. PDAccess operates the platform; you own the customer relationship, the deployment, and the margin.

You don’t build a PAM product. You don’t operate a multi-tenant platform. You don’t write the session recording, the MFA enforcement, or the audit trail. Those are in the platform. What you do is put it in front of customers who need privileged access managed — and charge them for the outcome.

Two ways to resell:

  • SaaS white-label — your client gets a https://<client>.pdaccess.com portal, forced MFA, Google login, brokered and recorded sessions. You sell it as your service.
  • On-prem bundle — for large enterprises with datacenter, air-gapped, ICS/OT, or compliance-driven needs, you deliver the same proxy-model architecture on the client’s own infrastructure, bundled into your offering.

Why Resell PAM: The Benefits

Margin

You sell at your price on a platform that’s operated for you. The spread between your price and the platform cost is your margin — and because the platform is managed by PDAccess, your cost to deliver is your people and the client’s proxy footprint, not a datacenter you have to run.

Co-marketing

Privileged access is a category most buyers don’t actively shop for — they buy the outcome (compliance, breach prevention, audit readiness). Co-marketing positions the service in front of the buyers who need it: regulated industries, MSSPs’ existing client base, and any organization still running shared admin accounts.

Enablement

You get the product knowledge, deployment guidance, and sales material to sell and run the service without a large internal security engineering team. The hard parts — multi-tenancy, identity, brokering, recording — are already built and operated.

Inherited capability

Every client you onboard inherits forced MFA, Google login, zero-knowledge credential brokering, session recording, and unified audit. You don’t build any of it; you just sell the fact that it’s there.

How It Works: Sign → Onboard → Resell → Support

Sign

Join the program. The commercial relationship is set: the partner economics (margin, pricing model), the co-marketing arrangements, and the enablement you’ll get.

Onboard

For each client:

  • Provision the client’s tenant and white-label portal (SaaS) or scope the on-prem bundle.
  • Stand up the client’s identity: named users, forced MFA, Google login.
  • Install the client’s proxies in their environment — access proxies (Web Based Terminal, Native SSH, Native RDP/VNC, Database) and identity proxies (TACACS, RADIUS, LDAP, OAuth2) as the estate requires.
  • Map privileged targets and set access policy.

The proxies run in the client’s own systems, network, or cloud, so onboarding is configuration, not a migration project.

Resell

Sell it as a recurring service:

  • SaaS white-label for small/mid-size companies and for your managed-security client base.
  • On-prem bundle for large enterprises with datacenter, air-gapped, ICS/OT, or compliance-driven requirements.
  • Bundle it into existing offerings — PAM-as-a-service is a natural addition to managed security, compliance, and audit-readiness contracts.

Support

Run it as a service: monitor sessions and access, deliver audit-ready evidence (who, what, when, plus the recording), manage policy changes and offboarding, and escalate platform issues to PDAccess. Your team stays in the client’s business; the platform stays operated.

Who It’s For

The partner program is built for the firms that already sell security outcomes:

  • MSSPs — add PAM-as-a-service to your managed offerings and sell it multi-tenant, white-label, with inherited MFA/SSO.
  • System integrators and consultancies — deliver the on-prem bundle for large, regulated, or air-gapped customers as part of a broader engagement.
  • VADs and channel partners — resell a defensible, compliance-driven service with a clean margin and PDAccess operating the platform behind it.

The Bottom Line

Reselling privileged access doesn’t require building it. The PDAccess partner model gives you a unified PAM + IAM platform — SaaS white-label or on-prem bundle — operated by PDAccess, so you can focus on what you’re good at: the customer. Sign, onboard, resell, support. The margin is yours, the capability is inherited, and the compliance story is built in.
