Secatr vs Rapid7: Partner Programs Compared

Accessibility and Entry Requirements

Secatr’s partner program is built for instant entry. MSPs face no license fees or seat commitments — instead, there’s a simple one-time setup fee to get started. That means you can begin offering services immediately without having to juggle license thresholds or endpoint minimums.

Rapid7’s PACT program, on the other hand, begins with “Registered Partner” status that carries no initial commitment. However, to unlock real perks, partners must move up through PACT’s tiered levels by meeting performance and certification requirements. In practice, this usually means buying product licenses to resell — adding upfront costs that Secatr partners avoid.

While Rapid7’s structure rewards scale and specialization, Secatr’s approach focuses on accessibility: plug in, brand it as your own, and start selling from day one.

Scalability and Growth Support

Secatr is designed to grow with you. From onboarding to expansion, partners receive comprehensive enablement: sales decks, pricing frameworks, scripts, and marketing collateral — everything needed to scale their cybersecurity business without friction.

Rapid7 also supports scalability through its partner portal, training academy, and MSSP specialization options. But because its program ties advancement to certification and sales quotas, scaling often means hitting administrative checkpoints rather than focusing purely on client growth.

By contrast, Secatr’s “plug-and-play” SVA model delivers 24/7 managed cybersecurity services, backed by operational support and white-label assets. With no license minimums or tiered barriers — just a single setup fee — partners can expand their offering and recurring revenue without bureaucratic bottlenecks.

Partner Enablement and Support

Both programs provide enablement tools and marketing resources, but the execution differs. Rapid7’s PACT program emphasizes structured enablement — deal registration, self-service marketing campaigns, and product-focused partner discounts.

Secatr takes a more embedded approach. Partners get a formal deal submission system, co-branded collateral, and continuous sales enablement — all tailored for MSPs selling under their own brand. Every Secatr partner receives a full launch kit: sales scripts, one-pagers, and objection handling resources designed to help them close deals fast.

Rapid7’s partners typically resell under the Rapid7 brand and follow strict brand guidelines. Secatr’s partners, however, white-label everything — from their cybersecurity stack to their marketing assets — so they appear as fully independent providers from day one.

In terms of margins, Secatr’s setup-fee model gives MSPs predictable, high-margin pricing with no license overheads. Rapid7’s partner rebates are performance-based, meaning your profitability depends on hitting product sales targets.

Overall Comparison

For MSPs deciding between the two, the key difference is simplicity versus structure.

• Secatr prioritizes accessibility and independence: a single setup fee, full white-labelling, and rapid go-to-market enablement with no license quotas or seat minimums.

• Rapid7 offers a more corporate, tiered framework that rewards high-performing partners but requires investment and certification to access full benefits.

Both provide solid partner support — but Secatr’s plug-and-play approach makes it the faster, leaner route for MSPs that want to start selling cybersecurity services immediately and keep more of the margin as they grow.
