For Consultants and vCISOs
Your IP is the skill. We pay for it.
You have spent years learning how an audit defense actually holds. That tacit knowledge becomes a signed, versioned Kanonik skill your own clients run, each paying a margin you set on top of their subscription.
You are the distribution channel: you move the clients you already have onto Kanonik, and the skill keeps paying in the months you bill other work. Design-partner consultants build the proof now.
The leverage equation
AI is leverage only if the trail holds.
Each new engagement adds a fresh ISMS to bring online, a fresh framework crosswalk, a fresh evidence package. AI can do the mechanical parts in minutes. The question is whether the AI-assisted output survives the auditor on the other side.
If it does not, AI is not leverage. It is liability compounded across your book. One AI-suggested control mapping that the auditor pushes back on is a finding. One finding across one client is a Tuesday afternoon. The same finding pattern across five clients is your reputation.
Kanonik makes the AI-assisted output the same kind of artifact your manually-collected evidence has always been: signed, chained, defensible. The Verifier sits inside every state-changing operation; nothing lands without passing rule checks, an independent AI cross-check, and a signed human approval. The audit trail proves the chain to anyone who asks.
What compounds
Four things that get better with every client.
Tools that scale per-engagement quietly become liabilities. Tools that scale across your book become leverage. Here is what compounds in Kanonik.
The auditor channel
Your auditor verifies the chain. Then verifies the next one.
Free read-only access for the auditor of record extends across your entire book. The auditor learns Kanonik on the first engagement. They install the open-source verifier binary once. They produce workpapers without contacting us. By the time they close that first engagement cleanly, they have a reproducible recommendation for the next CISO who asks them who to hire.
The auditor relationship becomes a permanent channel. We do not charge the auditors. The Verifier and the chain do the work that earns their trust.
Pricing structure
A Kanonik tier per client. Their tenant, their isolation.
Each client engagement runs on a Kanonik tier (Solo, Team, or Business). Each client gets their own tenant: their data, their audit log, their per-tenant encryption key, their isolation. You manage the engagement from inside their tenant.
If you serve more than three clients and want to talk about pilot terms, write to [email protected] with the shape of your book: how many clients, which AI providers they use, which frameworks they target. Pilot terms are negotiated case by case at this stage; the one thing we are not flexible on is the audit-defensibility guarantee.
The deal
What you sign up for. What we are not.
Founder-led setup, direct line to engineering.
Founder-led onboarding for your first engagement. We pair with you through the first client's setup, the first auditor handoff, and the first Auditor Export bundle.
Direct line to engineering on auditor questions. When an auditor asks something we have not seen before, the answer comes from the people who designed the system, not a support queue.
Architecture and threat model under NDA. The decisions behind the Verifier, the canonical model, the chain, the approval-token signing: available to you so you can answer your clients' questions credibly.
Free auditor read access on every paid tier. Twelve-month rate protection for early consultants.
Not a managed service. Not white-label.
Not a managed compliance service. Your engagement is yours. Your relationship with your client is yours. Kanonik is the tool you use; we are not in the engagement.
Not a wrapper around your client's existing GRC. Kanonik is the GRC platform for our target customers. The canonical model is the entire backend; no parallel CRUD platform to maintain.
Not white-label. The Verifier verdict, the audit log, the Auditor Export bundle: all carry Kanonik provenance. An auditor reading the chain knows the verification came from a third party, which is the point.
Not a claim on your IP. You distribute your skills to the clients you already have, and you are the channel. Your skills stay yours: you set the margin, you keep the client relationship, you can take your methods elsewhere. Kanonik is the runtime, not the owner of your expertise.
Bring your first Kanonik client. Carry the next ten. Request a demo with your client's stack. We set up your first engagement, walk through the auditor relationship together, and lock in your twelve-month rate protection.
The proof is the product™.
