Partner Program
Grow your business on the back of fraud prevention.
Whether you are a consultant embedding due diligence in every engagement, an MSSP triaging threats at scale, or an incident response partner, the Backgrounder Partner Program pays you to bring Carmen to your audience — with industry-leading first-year and recurring commissions, and auto-tier progression keyed to lifetime account value.
