Earn commissions selling
cybersecurity products and services.
The CISO Marketplace affiliate program is opening to influencers, practitioners, MSSPs, and commission sales people. Promote our digital products, memberships, services, and enterprise advertising accounts — earn a commission on every conversion you drive, tracked through our first-party infrastructure.
No commitment — we're gauging interest before we open the full programme. First registrants get priority onboarding.
Four tiers of products to promote
Choose one or all four — each has its own attribution method, commission structure, and ideal affiliate type.
Digital Products
Instant-download templates, tools, and design assets. Lowest friction sale — customer checks out directly via Stripe or Shopify.
Memberships
CISO Marketplace membership and platform access. Recurring revenue means recurring commissions for as long as your referral stays subscribed.
Services
Security assessments, VRM, M&A cyber risk, due diligence. Proposal-driven — higher commission per deal, manually tracked.
Enterprise CyberAdX Accounts
The highest-value tier. Refer a vendor to advertise on the CyberAdX network — earn a commission when they sign a campaign package or IO.
How your commissions are tracked
You get a personal link — go.cisomarketplace.com/ref/yourname. Every click is logged with timestamp, platform, and referrer. When the person converts, it traces back to you.
You get a personal coupon code for digital products and memberships. Customer enters it at checkout — no click required. Works even if they heard about it on a podcast or at an event.
For services and enterprise deals, you submit a referral form when you send a lead our way. When the deal closes, we log the commission and initiate payout.
Who this is built for
Three types of affiliate — different products, different sales motion. Already creating content? See the Creator Network, Security By Design creator hub ↗, or CISO Marketplace Affiliates ↗.
Influencers & Creators
CISOs, vCISOs, and security practitioners with an audience on LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, or a newsletter. Promote digital products and memberships through content.
Best for Tiers 1 & 2MSSPs & IT Consultants
Managed service providers and IT consulting firms with an existing client base that needs security tools, assessments, or advisory services.
Best for Tiers 3 & 4Ecosystem Partners
Existing CISO Marketplace listed partners and members who want to monetise their network by referring clients to services and enterprise advertising.
All tiersWho we're looking for
Grassroots welcomeYou don't need 100K followers. You need an engaged audience in the right niche and content you're already creating. Here's exactly who fits.
CTF Competitors & Writeup Creators
HackTheBox, TryHackMe, and CTF team players who post walkthroughs, writeups, or document their learning journey. Your audience is actively buying tools and training — you just don't have a way to monetise that yet.
Conference Speakers & Builders
First or second-time DEF CON, Black Hat, or BSides speakers documenting their journey. "I just gave my first DEF CON talk" content drives 2–5× the engagement of regular posts. Your community trusts you.
Certification Journey Creators
Documenting your OSCP, CISSP, CEH, or Security+ path on YouTube or TikTok? "OSCP Journey" videos routinely hit 20–50K views. Your audience is actively buying study materials — and you're the trusted voice telling them what works.
Entry-Level SOC Analysts & Junior Pentesters
Posting about breaking into cybersecurity, your first security job, tool comparisons, or day-in-the-life content on LinkedIn or Twitter? Peers engage heavily with this — and that engagement compounds fast.
Bootcamp Grads & Security Students
Building your portfolio in public — labs, tool setups, certifications, projects. Authenticity is your advantage. Brands pay a premium for genuine community trust, and you have it by default.
BSides & Community Organizers
Local BSides chapter organisers, frequent regional speakers, ISSA/ISACA chapter leaders. Smaller audiences, but hyper-engaged and deeply trusted in your city or region. That's worth more than a generic national following.
Security Twitter/X & LinkedIn Builders
Posting daily security takes, tool reviews, incident breakdowns, or career advice consistently for 6+ months? If you're building fast and posting regularly, you already have what it takes. We give you the infrastructure to earn from it.
Independent Podcast Hosts
Running a security podcast — even a small one with a loyal niche audience? Podcasts have the highest conversion rates of any format because listeners trust hosts. If your show has 500+ regular listeners, let's talk.
Build your own microtool ↗
Have an idea for a security utility, calculator, or policy generator? Build it on the microsec.tools platform — you build, we distribute, and you earn a share of every conversion it drives.
Enter the US market ↗
Running a cybersecurity business outside the US? CISO Marketplace's market-entry programme helps international vendors launch, list, and grow in the US enterprise security market — with distribution, GTM support, and local credibility.
Publish your content ↗
Turn your security expertise into a revenue stream. Publish eBooks, guides, and reports via KDP and print-on-demand — distributed through the CISO Marketplace publishing platform. Earn royalties while we handle fulfilment.
