Totem Trusted Partners

Partner with Totem

MSPs, MSSPs, Consultants, and vCISOs supporting the Defense Industrial Base have partnered with Totem Technologies. Why?

Totem Technologies is not a “Johnny-come-lately” compliance company.  We’ve been doing business as a DoD contractor ourselves since 2015, and helping our peers since 2017, way before the DoD’s Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) was even a thought. Our CMMC planning platform, Totem™, was built to ensure small- and medium-sized businesses like us could achieve CMMC compliance.

Apply for Totem Technologies’ Trusted Partner Program and join forces with the CMMC platform trusted by hundreds of industry leaders.

  • IT managed service providers (MSP)
  • Managed security service providers (MSSP)
  • Consultants/vCISOs
  • Other security companies
  • Any service provider with the goal of supporting defense contractors with CMMC compliance
No. We do offer a resell option for service providers that just want to resell Totem, but our intent with partnership is to:
  • Equip our partners with a CMMC planning toolset at a steep discount as to expand their CMMC capabilities and increase margins
  • Provide CMMC training for our partners as to establish or grow their presence in the defense contracting space
  • Continuously collaborate to ensure our toolset is effective in helping you support your defense contractor clients
  • Establish long-term relationships with quality external service providers that are serious about supporting the defense industrial base

Because of these things, we vet our prospective partners thoroughly to ensure a successful partnership. We expect you’ll do the same with us.
