It’s almost time for the annual Sophos Partner Program review — when we confirm partner tiers and accreditations for the upcoming fiscal year, April 1, 2026 – March 31, 2027.

To maintain or advance your tier, accreditations, and margins, make sure your team meets the revenue and certification requirements outlined in the Sophos Partner Program Guide by March 31, 2026.

Why This Review Matters

Each year, Sophos reviews partner performance to ensure program tiers reflect current engagement, expertise, and business results.

It’s your opportunity to celebrate progress, showcase your team’s growth, and position your organization for even more success in the year ahead.

Partners who meet — or exceed — requirements maintain access to all the benefits that come with their status, including:

• Preferred margins and deal registration advantages
• Enhanced visibility and recognition as a certified Sophos partner
• Access to advanced training, marketing, and enablement resources

What to Do Before March 31, 2026

To make sure your partnership is in great shape for the new program year, take these steps now:

1. Check Your Certification Points and Tier
   Log in to the Sophos Partner Portal and open your Certification Dashboard to review your total points, tier, and progress toward the next level.
2. Renew or Add Certifications
   Make sure all certifications are active and renew any that are expiring soon. Completing new certifications before March 31 can also help you boost your tier and benefits.
3. Confirm Revenue Requirements
   Verify that your organization meets the revenue goals for your current or target tier. If you’re unsure, your Channel Account Manager (CAM) or regional distributor can help you review your progress.
4. Update Your Partner Profile
   Check that your company details, primary contacts, and preferred distributor in the Partner Portal are accurate and up to date.
5. Connect with Your CAM
   Schedule a quick review session with your Channel Account Manager to discuss your goals for FY26 and identify opportunities for growth, enablement, or co-selling.

Keep the Momentum Going

Partners who meet requirements by March 31, 2026 will roll into Sophos’ FY26 with their tier, accreditations, and benefits secured.

If your team goes above and beyond, you could even advance to a higher tier — earning greater recognition and rewards in the new year.

The key is to start early: review your dashboard, renew certifications, and align your goals now to stay on track.
