When we discuss cybersecurity, it’s most often done in the context of audits, assessments, or certifications. However, specific systems and components require more stringent testing standards, ensuring that the technology functions correctly and securely after construction or during ongoing operational use.

To support the testing and assurance of these components, the National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST) operates a program to align testing and laboratory standards with ISO 17025, the international framework for lab calibration and competence.

Why register the deal

Deal registration prevents channel conflict and makes sure the partner who developed the opportunity is the partner of record.

Approved registrations typically receive:

Protection on the named account and opportunity for a defined period
Credit for partner-sourced pipeline
Alignment with Continuum GRC sales, onboarding, and assessment support
Visibility into approval status and next steps

Unregistered deals are not protected. Existing Continuum GRC customers and opportunities already in active pursuit are not eligible.

Eligible opportunities

A deal may be registered when all of the following are true:

The opportunity is partner-sourced
The end customer is a named organization
The opportunity is net-new Continuum GRC business, or a clearly defined expansion not already owned by Continuum GRC or another partner
The partner has engaged the prospect (meeting, discovery, demo request, RFP support, or equivalent)
The submission is complete and accurate
No other approved registration already covers the same customer, product scope, and opportunity

Renewals of existing Continuum GRC subscriptions and accounts already under active Continuum GRC pursuit are excluded.

How deal registration works

Submit the form with partner, prospect, and opportunity details.
Continuum GRC reviews the request, typically within two business days.
You receive a decision: approved, needs information, or declined.
Approved deals are protected for 90 days from approval.
Stay active. Documented progress can support a one-time extension. Inactive registrations expire.

If two complete registrations collide, Continuum GRC will decide based on timing, completeness, documented engagement, and partner fit.
