We’re giving partners more time to grow with confidence — extending the timeline for the updated revenue requirements through the end of Sophos’ FY27 (March 31, 2027).

Supporting Partner Growth and Flexibility

At Sophos, we believe partner success isn’t just measured by quarterly performance — it’s built on long-term growth, continuous learning, and sustainable progress. As markets evolve and customer needs shift, we’re evolving with them.

That’s why we’re giving partners more time to meet the updated revenue requirements in the Sophos Partner Program. By extending the enforcement date to the end of Sophos’ FY27, partners gain an additional year — through March 31, 2027 — to align plans, strengthen capabilities, and build pipeline momentum ahead of the next phase of program growth.

Clarity on the Updated Timeline

Here’s how the timeline works:

• Next Tier Review Based on Current Revenue Targets
  Your FY27 partner tier — which runs from April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2027 — will be determined based on the existing revenue requirements in place today, along with your certification and accreditation status. The deadline for meeting your requirements as outlined in the Sophos Partner Program Guide is March 31, 2026.
• New Revenue Requirements Begin Starting April 2026
  The new revenue thresholds will officially launch in April 2026, but partners will have until the end of FY27 (March 31, 2027) to meet them. This means no partner will be impacted by the new requirements until the FY28 program year begins.

Why We’re Making This Change

We recognize that partners are balancing certification investments, customer growth, and business planning in a changing market.

This extended timeline gives you more flexibility to:

• Build momentum in your sales pipeline
• Strengthen your team’s technical and sales expertise
• Align with new revenue goals at a sustainable pace
• Plan strategically with your Channel Account Manager (CAM) to maximize success

It’s all about helping you grow confidently while maintaining consistency in your partner experience.

How to Make the Most of This Extension

Use this additional time to prepare and position your business for long-term success:

1. Check your Certification Dashboard to ensure all team certifications are active and contributing to your total points.
2. Confirm your current revenue standing against the existing FY26 requirements.
3. Plan ahead for FY27 — work with your channel account manager or distributor to understand the upcoming revenue thresholds and create a roadmap to meet them.
4. Continue building pipeline and enablement momentum through Sophos training, tools, and sales initiatives.
