From first conversation to recurring revenue in three steps
Your client pays us. We deliver, support, and carry the risk. Your revenue share is computed on every invoice and paid out to you automatically.
Apply in under a minute

Share your link, or sell it yourself
Every rep gets a tracked link. Your clients enroll self-service, or your team closes the deal in the portal.
We deliver. You get paid.
We provision, support, and respond. Your revenue share accrues on every invoice, automatically.
Why partner with Preferred Data
You have already earned the trust. We turn it into revenue.
Life-safety and physical-security companies are the natural channel for managed cybersecurity: your clients already trust you with what matters most. The program converts that trust into recurring revenue while we carry the delivery, and in many cases it feeds new install work back to your crews.
The natural next step for accounts you already protect
You secure their buildings, homes, and people, hundreds or thousands of accounts, with trust earned over years of showing up. Cybersecurity is the same promise extended to their business, and it comes from the advisor they already believe.
We bring the marketing, sales, and onboarding
We supply the marketing material and handle the sales conversations and onboarding end to end. Your team opens the door; ours does the selling, provisioning, and support. Reps who want to close deals themselves can, right in the portal.
New wiring and install revenue for your crews
In many cases, bringing a client onto our technology stack means changes to their network infrastructure, and that wiring and installation work goes to you, the partner on the ground.
Better alarm and access-control installs
The shared partnership model gives you network visibility and coordinated design on every job. We design, integrate, and support the network your panels, cameras, and access control ride on, so your installs succeed the first time.
The three tiers you sell
Simple to explain. A ladder, not a menu.
Preferred Essentials, Professional, and Complete: clients start at the tier that fits and move up as their environment and compliance needs grow, and every tier carries the same non-negotiable security baseline. Delivery is remote-first with nothing for you to stock or install; when a client needs hands-on help, onsite support at Professional and above is handled by our team within our North Carolina service area.
Preferred Essentials
The minimum we'll put our name on: secured, patched, backed up, and insurable.
“The panel, the wiring, and the backup power, so nothing ever goes dark or gets lost.”
Preferred Professional
The standard for a business that runs on its data.
“Central-station monitoring with a real guard response, plus the badges and paperwork that keep a growing business running.”
Preferred Complete
Your full IT department, on one plan.
“The fully staffed control room: UL-listed, continuously inspected, and smart enough to run itself.”

Why partner with us
A security operation your name can stand behind
We have secured and supported businesses from High Point, North Carolina since 1987. When you put your reputation on the line recommending us, we put a 39-year track record, and a 24/7 response team, behind it.
“Your clients already trust you with their alarms, cameras, and fire panels. Cybersecurity is the same conversation, a threat, a system, and a partner who answers the phone.”

Common questions about the program
- How does the partner revenue share get paid?
- Your client pays Preferred Data Corporation directly, since we are the merchant of record. We compute your revenue share on every invoice and pay it out to you automatically. You watch the balance accrue in your partner dashboard in real time.
- Who carries the refunds, taxes, and liability?
- We do. As the merchant of record, we carry billing, refunds, sales tax, and cyber-liability. A life-safety reseller never has to underwrite cyber risk, that responsibility sits with a security operation that has run since 1987.
- Do my technicians have to become cybersecurity experts?
- No. We deliver and support everything in the tier a client picks: helpdesk, monitoring, patching, backups, and 24/7 security operations. Your team owns the relationship and opens the door; we can run the sales and onboarding, or built-in training gets your own reps closing confidently in days.
- Does the partnership create work for my installation crews?
- In many cases, yes. Bringing a client onto our technology stack often means changes to their network infrastructure, and that wiring and installation work goes to you. You also get network visibility and coordinated design on the jobs you already do, so alarm and access-control installs integrate cleanly.
- What does it cost to join the program?
- Applying is free and takes under a minute with Microsoft or Google, no paperwork up front. You bring the client relationships; we bring the managed IT and cybersecurity operation behind the Preferred Plans. Program terms are shared during onboarding.
- Who answers a support ticket or a security incident?
- We do. Our helpdesk and 24/7 monitoring team handle everything from a forgotten password to a live threat. You stay informed and keep the client relationship, but you are never the one taking the call.
- Do clients have to start at the top tier, or can they grow into it?
- They can start wherever fits. Preferred Essentials, Professional, and Complete are a ladder: each tier includes everything in the tier below it, plus more, and every tier carries the same non-negotiable security baseline. Most clients start at Essentials or Professional and grow into Complete as their environment and compliance needs scale.
