§ Partners & Resellers · welcome

Partner with SanctumShield.

SanctumShield was built to bring regulation-anchored AI governance — board-ready artifacts, primary-source-cited risk audits, regulator-defensible AUPs, third-party-validatable verification URLs — to the underserved mid-market. We welcome partners who want to extend that reach: auditors, consultants, MSSPs and MSPs, law firms, cyber insurance carriers and brokers, value-added service providers, and organizations seeking direct advisory engagements with SanctumShield.

Tell us what you’re building and we’ll figure out the right partnership shape together. The contact form below routes directly to the founder — one inbox, one business day acknowledgment.

§ Who we welcome

Five partnership tracks. One contact form. We’ll figure out the right fit together.

Auditors, consultants, MSSPs, MSPs, fractional CISOs

If you serve multiple client organizations and want to use SanctumShield to generate the regulation-anchored AI governance artifacts your clients need, we welcome you. A standard $99/month subscription is licensed for a single Customer Organization — running client engagements requires a Reseller / Partner Agreement with appropriate volume, co-branding, and white-label provisions. Tell us about your practice and the kinds of clients you serve.

Law firms — privacy, cybersecurity, AI law

Privacy practices, cyber/data-incident teams, and emerging AI-law groups: SanctumShield can be the documentation foundation your clients hand to their boards, regulators, and underwriters when you advise on AI governance posture. We welcome partnership conversations on co-branded engagements, referral arrangements, and deeper integrations with your client deliverables. For litigation support, expert witness, and standard-of-care work, see the dedicated section below.

Cyber insurance carriers, brokers, agents

Carriers writing 2026 cyber renewals are increasingly asking for AI governance evidence. Brokers and agents need a credible recommendation when an insured asks where to start. We welcome carrier and broker partnerships — including underwriting-program integration, co-marketing on the verifiable artifact, broker referral arrangements, and the kind of standardized AI risk input that makes your underwriting workflow easier. For coverage disputes, subrogation, and post-incident standard-of-care assessments, see the Expert Witness section below.

Value-added services — training, integration, content syndication

If you offer security awareness training, GRC platform integration, regulatory-content services, board education programs, or other value-added services that pair naturally with a regulation-anchored AI governance artifact, let us know what you're building. We welcome partnerships that help mid-market organizations get more value out of the artifact than they would on their own.

Advisory / Security Engagement / Retainer with SanctumShield

If you'd like to engage SanctumShield directly for advisory work — strategic AI governance program design, board-level briefing preparation, regulatory-readiness review, cyber renewal questionnaire support, agent governance architecture review, or a custom security engagement — we welcome that conversation. Lindsay Hiebert (CISSP) takes a limited number of advisory retainers each year focused on the same Shadow AI, agentic AI, regulation-anchored governance, and Due Care / Due Diligence work that is the SanctumShield core.

§ Expert Witness & Investigative Consulting

For litigation, regulatory action, insurance disputes, and board-level standard-of-care assessments.

When AI governance failures result in litigation, regulatory action, or insurance disputes, courts and tribunals increasingly require expert evidence on the prevailing standard of care. SanctumShield’s founder, Lindsay Hiebert, CISSP (cert #539218, verifiable on Credly), accepts a limited number of engagements for:

  • Plaintiff and defense counsel in AI governance negligence litigation
  • Class action and shareholder derivative matters involving AI governance, board oversight, or Shadow AI exposure
  • Cyber insurance subrogation and coverage disputes — including denied claims where Due Care evidence is contested
  • Regulatory investigations — HIPAA OCR, state Attorney General offices, EU AI Act competent authorities, NAIC examinations
  • Board-level Due Care / Due Diligence assessments in pre-litigation contexts — privileged standard-of-care opinions and forensic assessments before a matter reaches filing
Engagement structure

Engagements are case-by-case with conflict-of-interest screening at intake. Both plaintiff- and defense-side engagements considered; the integrity of an expert witness depends on availability across both sides of the docket.

Initial inquiry → 30-minute no-cost scoping conversation. Engagement terms discussed during scoping. Standard professional indemnity / E&O coverage maintained.

Why this offering exists

The 2026 forcing functions — EU AI Act enforcement, Colorado AI Act, the SOC 2 Type II observation cycle, cyber insurance renewal questionnaires asking AI governance questions for the first time — guarantee that organizations without an AI Acceptable Use Policy and a documented Shadow AI risk assessment will face Due Care challenges. The litigation, regulatory, and insurance workstreams that follow need expert evidence on the prevailing standard. SanctumShield’s founder is one of the few CISSP-credentialed practitioners with both the platform-engineering background (15 years Cisco, 7 years Intel) and the regulation-anchored AI governance specialization to provide that evidence credibly.

§ Why partner with SanctumShield

Mid-market focus

Purpose-built for 50–2,000-employee organizations that enterprise platforms and Big 4 engagements price out. Your clients in this segment have real governance need and a small budget. We meet them at $99/month.

Verifiable artifact

Every report carries a unique verification URL the underwriter, auditor, or regulator can paste into a browser to independently confirm. Pair-able with your attestation, your engagement, your underwriting workflow — without exposing the report contents.

Continuously refreshed

Monthly registry refresh, monthly regulatory clause tracking, quarterly audit-prompt tuning. Artifacts stay current as the AI surface and regulatory landscape evolve — which makes them durable as anchors in your client deliverables.

§ Tell us what you’re building

Reach the founder directly.

One form, one founder, one business day acknowledgment. Tell us about your firm, your clients, the kind of partnership you’re thinking about — referral, reseller, white-label, value-added integration, advisory retainer, or something else. We’ll figure out the right shape together.

A note on standard subscriptions: the $99/month SanctumShield subscription is licensed for a single Customer Organization (your own firm or a single client you have authority to subscribe on behalf of). If you want to generate Artifacts for multiple distinct client organizations, that is exactly what a Reseller / Partner Agreement enables — and the contact form above is the right place to start.

See Section 3 of the Terms of Use for the per-organization license details.
