KYE Consultant Program™ · for CISO / DPO / AI-governance consultants

Offer KYE Protocol™ to your clients — without rebuilding the substrate.

If you advise on AI governance, data privacy, or security, you bring the regulator credibility. KYE™ brings the cryptographically-signed substrate. Together your clients get evidence-grade governance in weeks, not the 12 months it takes to build from scratch.

1 · Who this is for

Four practice shapes, one substrate.

The KYE Consultant Program™ is shaped for practices that already advise on governance and now need a verifiable substrate to deliver against. Four canonical shapes:

CISO consultantsBoutique security advisories embedding KYE™ into client SOCs and SIEM pipelines. You deliver the policy, KYE™ delivers the cryptographic proof.
DPO advisorsData-protection consultants who need verifiable evidence of purpose-limited processing and lawful-basis chains. KYE™ evidence packs are court-grade out of the box.
AI-governance practicesEU AI Act / NIST AI RMF / ISO 42001 specialists. KYE™ gives you the action-admissibility rail and signed decision maps that auditors are already asking for.
Big4 governance teamsAudit-and-advisory arms running large transformation programs. The KYE Consultant Toolkit™ slots into your existing methodology with signed attribution.
2 · What you get on day 1

The KYE Consultant Toolkit™ bundle.

Sign the program agreement, get the toolkit. Everything in this list is delivered as embeddable code or signed templates — no integration work required to start.

widgets Embeddable Assurance Widget

Drop-in JS widget your clients embed on their own site. Renders the live signed KYE Assurance Card™ with verifiable provenance back to the protocol.

description Signed Client-Facing Report Templates

Cryptographically-signed Evidence Pack™ templates pre-styled for board reports, regulator submissions, and audit deliverables. Your firm logo, KYE™ provenance.

forum Expert Wall Embed Widget

Embed signed expert reviews directly on your firm site. Every review is provenance-linked to the KYE Protocol™ Expert Wall — your credentials, cryptographically attestable.

grid_view Multi-Tenant Console Preview

Early access to the consultant console for managing all your client tenants. View Decision Maps™, replay evidence, run readiness checks across your book of business.

3 · What you get on day 30

Multi-tenant console — your whole book, one pane.

By day 30 your firm has the consultant console fully provisioned. Manage every client tenant from one place, run bulk operations, and generate evidence packs per client with your firm's attribution baked in.

One pane, all clientsTenant switcher across your entire book. Health, drift signals, open obligations — surfaced per client.
Bulk operationsApply policy templates to N tenants. Re-run readiness checks across the cohort. Compare regulatory posture side-by-side.
Per-client evidence packsGenerate the signed Evidence Pack™ for any client tenant. Your attribution is cryptographically embedded so the audit trail credits the consultant who did the work.
Readiness checks across the cohortOne readiness query — "Are all my banking clients ready for the new AI Act enforcement window?" — answered with signed evidence per client.
4 · White-label option

Your brand on the surface, KYE™ provenance in the seal.

White-label is available at the Certified and Partner tiers. Your firm's brand appears on every client-facing surface — the assurance widget, the evidence-pack PDF cover, the public assurance report. Under the hood, the cryptographic provenance of the signed evidence stays with KYE Protocol™. That's not a marketing constraint — it's the cryptographic moat your clients are paying for. Provenance you can't fork is provenance regulators can verify.

Why provenance stays KYE™. An assurance card that only your firm can sign is worth what your firm is worth. An assurance card whose provenance roots in an independently-verifiable, schema-locked, public-key-pinned protocol is worth what the protocol is worth. Your clients buy the second one. So do their regulators.
5 · How attribution works

Every action you take on a client tenant is cryptographically attested back to you.

When a consultant acts on a client tenant — running a readiness check, signing a policy approval, attaching a remediation plan — the action is sealed into the client's Evidence Pack™ with an attested_by field that resolves to your consultant ID. Your work is provable in every audit, every regulator submission, every board pack. Below: an actual consultant_attribution.v1 fixture as it appears on the wire.

{
  "schema_version": "kye.consultant_attribution.v1",
  "attribution_id": "kye:attribution:client-acme:2026-05-14:c7b2",
  "tenant_id": "kye:tenant:client-acme",

  ],
  "client_engagement_ref": "northstar:engagement:acme-q2-2026",
  "engagement_role": "lead_governance_advisor",
  "signature_alg": "Ed25519",
  "evidence_pack_ref": "kye:evidence:client-acme:ap-release:approval-2026-05-14"
}
Provable consultant work. The next time a regulator asks "who signed off on this control?" the client can hand over the Evidence Pack™ and the attribution chain resolves — signed — to the consultant who did the work. No more arguing about deliverables-vs-emails.
