The cybersecurity channel is evolving fast. Buying behaviors are shifting and customers are rethinking how they evaluate solutions. And partners are rethinking how they deliver value at scale. In this environment, vendor partner programs can’t stay static.
Most partner programs are built around what works for the vendor. We continue to choose a different path, asking our partners where we could evolve and improve.
The result? Meaningful updates to the Rapid7 PACT Partner Program for 2026. Carefully designed to deliver stronger economics, simpler engagement, and clearer paths to growth.
Rapid7 PACT: Built with partner feedback in mind
Over the past year, we had ongoing conversations with partners across our global ecosystem. Those discussions were grounded in trust, candor, and a shared ambition to win together.
Partners told us where friction existed. They told us where our economics needed to be more competitive. They told us where clarity and simplicity would make it easier to go to market.
The 2026 PACT updates are our response to that feedback.
What is the Rapid7 'PACT' partner program?
PACT is the framework that defines how Rapid7 works with our global network of resellers, managed security service providers (MSSPs), and distributors.
But PACT is more than a framework. It reflects our commitment to transparency, consistency, and accountability in every partner interaction. These aren’t aspirational values, they are operational principles that guide how we build trust across our channel ecosystem.
What’s new in PACT for 2026
This year’s updates focus on four core areas, each directly shaped by partner input.
- Stronger Economics: Expanded program discounts, rebates and incentives drive greater margin, predictability, and MDR competitiveness.
- Simpler Engagement: We are operating with two clear motions; Deal Registration and Co-Sell. Resulting in less friction and faster execution.
- Platinum Partner Tier: A new top tier recognizes and accelerates our highest-performing, most strategic partners.
- Tech Champion Program: Exclusive recognition and access for partner Systems Engineers to deepen technical collaboration and influence.
Why this matters now
The vendors who will earn (and retain) partner mindshare are those who combine in-demand cybersecurity solutions with a partner experience that is simple, profitable, and built for scale. We know technology leadership alone isn’t enough. The experience of working with us has to be just as strong as the solutions we deliver. The 2026 PACT updates reflect that commitment.
