For Security Vendors

Be the answer at the moment an MSP's client needs you.

Value Aligners places your product beside the exact gap it closes, inside the plan an MSP is already presenting to its client. Listing is free, nobody can pay to rank, and founding vendors pay 0% until 29 January 2027.

Demand that starts from a finding, not a click.

The problem

Reaching an MSP's clients means reaching the MSP, and most vendor calls go unanswered. Marketplace rankings follow spend, not fit.

What Value Aligners does

Every MSP client gets the same intake and scan. When a gap is found, the product that closes it appears beside it, at your channel price, in the MSP's plan.

What you get
  • Leads with the finding, budget and timeline
  • Placement earned by fit, never bought
  • A free listing, and commission only on closed sales
  • A founding slot in your category
03The problem

Reaching an MSP's clients means reaching the MSP, and the call rarely comes.

  • MSP owners say most vendor calls go unanswered, because there is no context for them.
  • Marketplaces charge for placement, so the ranking reflects spend, not fit.
  • A marketplace lead is usually a click, not a finding with a budget behind it.
  • The fix lives on a sales call, so the MSP's client waits a quote cycle and often never buys.

05How the platform works

You show up at stage 04, beside the gap you close.

MSPs run intake, mapping and planning for each client. When a gap is found, your product appears beside it.

STAGE 01

Intake and scan

About 30 minutes. One intake per client plus a read-only external scan. Nothing installed.

STAGE 02

Mapping

Gaps scored against the frameworks the client's sector answers to. Every finding marked measured or self-reported.

STAGE 03

Plan

A severity-ordered list and a client-ready PDF: what to fix first and why.

STAGE 04You

Fix

Your product is shown beside the gap at your channel price. You receive the lead, close it and service it.

STAGE 05You

Record

Next

Named in the decision record if your product was the fix. You pay nothing for that.

STAGE 06You

Renewal

Subscription renewal is handled directly between you and the MSP.

09Straight answers

What vendors ask us first.

Will MSPs use your scan instead of mine?

We don't sell a scanner. Ours is a free read-only external check, and a scanner vendor's product appears beside the deeper findings it would produce.

How are advice and selling kept apart?

By rule. Ranking is by fit to the finding, and no vendor can buy position. The commission is disclosed and never changes the order.

Call me when you have lots of customers.

Fair. That is why founding terms are free and 0% until 29 January 2027, with two slots per category.

Do you store our vulnerability data?

Findings are kept 90 days today and we are moving to pass-through. Your own terms govern your scan output.

You ask us for assurance. What do you hold?

General liability. Cyber and E&O cover is quoted, not yet bound. SOC 2 Type I is our target; no report exists yet. We say so.

Does the end client see my channel price?

No. The MSP sees it. The client sees the product category and the MSP's own price.
