Your team understands what credible compliance work looks like. Deep Fathom gives your practice a platform for helping supplier clients develop and maintain that work, from the initial review of their position to the deliverables and supporting evidence they rely on.

Our multi-tenant platform supports firms working across multiple supplier clients. You bring your methodology, client relationships, and professional judgment. We work with you on the platform and support arrangement for the services you want to deliver.

Put Your Experience to Work Earlier

Experience examining implementation, testing conclusions, and identifying gaps has value during preparation. For firms choosing to offer readiness services, that expertise can help clients address weaknesses before they become consequential representations.

Some assessment practices will continue to focus on certification or other frameworks. Others will build a readiness offering or extend one they already have. Deep Fathom supports that choice through a partner motion centered on client delivery.

Your service scope and client relationships remain subject to the professional boundaries that govern your firm. Readiness services and formal certification are distinct engagements. Practice fit explains how we approach the relationship.

The Compliance Work Your Practice Can Support

Deep Fathom takes suppliers through the compliance process, with AI-assisted review and the work behind their SPRS score, SSP, POA&M, and supporting evidence. The platform provides the basis for a service relationship that reaches beyond producing a final package.

This describes a delivery relationship. A product discussion can show how the available platform workflow fits your team’s methods and where specific access, support, or reporting needs require agreement.

Serve Multiple Clients With a Consistent Approach

A multi-tenant platform gives a practice a way to use Deep Fathom across supplier engagements. The value for the firm is the opportunity to apply a consistent approach while giving each client the professional attention its circumstances require.

The economics depend on how the platform changes the work. We can examine where your team spends time, which activities can use platform support, and which decisions need experienced practitioners. That discussion provides a basis for evaluating capacity and margin potential in your own practice.

We agree licensing and support around the delivery model. Specific efficiency gains should be established through the workflow your team intends to use.

Continue the Relationship After Initial Readiness

A client that completes its first set of deliverables still has a business to operate. A new service provider, an acquisition, or a system migration can change the compliance position its earlier work described.

Your firm can offer ongoing services around those changes: professional review, help resolving open work, and support for maintaining current representations. Continuous compliance gives that relationship a concrete purpose beyond an approaching assessment date.

Another Role for Firms Focused on Review

If your firm prefers independent review, we can discuss that relationship too. Suppliers may want additional scrutiny of work prepared internally or by another provider, including work supported by Deep Fathom.

That role has its own scope and independence considerations. Our platform’s work is open to your scrutiny; a commercial relationship carries no expectation of a favorable conclusion.
