RapidFire Tools Launches its First Channel Program, Focusing on GDPR Compliance

RapidFire Tools, an Atlanta-based developer of IT assessment and compliance tools, has launched a new partner program to support its Audit Guru for GDPR tool. The program marks the first time the company is selling one of its products exclusively through MSPs.

The new product is designed to help organizations establish compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which applies to any organization that collects and processes personal information within the European Union, effective May 25th.

Audit Guru for GDPR is a purpose-built software appliance to automatically collect the data required for a proper initial GDPR audit, as well as the required on-going compliance checks. The tool will automatically generate the documentation and reporting required under the standard.

Available to MSPs worldwide, the new partner program includes extensive product training, an NFR license for testing and evaluation purposes, a second license to resell to their first client, a product management portal, white-labeled marketing materials, and unlimited technical support.

“Until now, our tools have been sold to MSPs for internal use as part of their business development and service delivery,” explained company president Michael Mittel. “This launch marks a paradigm shift, wherein we’ve designed a product that MSPs can sell directly to the network owner.”

MSPs will have the option of reselling Audit Guru for GDPR to their end-user clients, or offering it along with value-added consulting and ongoing compliance management services.

Given that the EU represents a significant percentage of the global economy, including the presence of many multi-national corporations, GDPR rules will undoubtedly have a profound effect on the IT industry moving forward.
