Butterfly partner program

Help customers prove identity recovery. Get enabled fast.

A lightweight partner program for firms that refer, co-sell, certify, deliver, resell, or manage Butterfly Security services for Okta recovery, SSO/SCIM, Workflows recovery, managed resilience, and audit evidence.

Less bureaucracy, more proof

Easy to start. Hard to fake.

Traditional enterprise partner programs bury useful work under portals, points, and approvals. Butterfly keeps the entry path light, then ties higher status to evidence: certified operators, supervised delivery, clean customer artifacts, and repeatable outcomes.

Launch fast

Referral and co-sell partners can start with intake, terms, and one enablement session.

Certify delivery

Partners earn delivery authority with labs, supervised proof, and quality review.

Package services

Use fixed scopes for assessments, backup setup, SSO/SCIM, drills, and audit evidence.

Scale safely

Higher economics unlock only when support, renewal, and customer proof are clear.

Self-service intake

Start any partner motion without waiting on email.

Referral, co-sell, reseller, implementation, MSP/MSSP, and certification motions all begin here. No person is required to keep moving with the right public assets immediately.

No-person path

Submit the form, then continue immediately with motion-specific assets. A person is not required for routing, first proof steps, docs, demo, trust artifacts, package review, or capstone prep.

This creates the routing record and unlocks the next self-service path. Contractual status changes — reseller status, certification badges, production access, discounts, or customer-change authority — still need written terms and evidence.

Trust rules

Fast does not mean loose.

Enterprise customers need confidence that partner work is controlled. Butterfly keeps the startup-speed entry path while enforcing customer authorization, evidence, accurate claims, and revocation when standards slip.

  • !No public badge, reseller status, or delivery certification until Butterfly approves it in writing.
  • !No unsupported Okta status or endorsement claims.
  • !No production access without written customer authorization and named operators.
  • !Restore execution requires written change approval; preview and dry-run are the default.
  • !Commission is paid on collected net revenue, not booked pipeline.
  • !Partner benefits can be suspended for misrepresentation, data mishandling, or delivery-quality failures.
