CT4.DIRECT
The Global CT4 Franchise System — built on the CrossFit model. License the methodology, deliver the transformation, keep 100% of your project revenue.
15,000 Direct Partners. One Mission.
World-class cybersecurity should not be a privilege of Fortune 500 companies. CT4.DIRECT is how we scale the CT4™ transformation methodology to every city, every country — through certified independent consultants who deliver locally, professionally, and profitably.
How CT4.DIRECT Works
A simple, proven model. We license the methodology and brand. You deliver world-class transformation projects to SMB clients in your region. We don't take a percentage — we charge a flat annual licensing fee. Everything you earn is yours.
Get Certified
Complete CT4 training via CT4.ACADEMY and earn CT4.EXPERT or CT4.NINJA certification through CT4.INSTITUTE. This proves you've mastered the six frameworks before delivering to clients.
Apply for Partnership
Submit your application demonstrating your certification, professional experience, regional market intent, and code-of-conduct commitment. Our team reviews and approves qualified candidates on a rolling basis.
License & Launch
Pay the $3,000 annual license fee. Receive your CT4 Direct Partner welcome kit: licensed materials, brand guidelines, AI access, sales toolkit, project templates, and your portal listing. You're now CTDP-certified.
Sell. Deliver. Keep 100%.
Win SMB clients in your city, country, or region. Deliver CT4 transformation projects using licensed materials and methodology. Keep every dollar from every project. Renew annually. Scale your practice.
Why CT4.DIRECT Wins for Consultants
Most franchise models extract 15–25% of your revenue indefinitely. CT4.DIRECT charges a flat annual fee. That's it. The math is dramatic — and intentional.
A single mid-sized SMB transformation engagement typically generates $25,000–$75,000+ in consulting revenue. Even one project per year covers your license fee with substantial profit. Sign three projects — and you're scaling a high-margin, branded consulting practice with full ecosystem support.
From Reader to Direct Partner
CT4.DIRECT is a credential, not a casual subscription. Every Direct Partner has earned their place through the CT4 certification ladder before licensing.

Built for Three Types of Practitioners
The Independent Consultant
You've got 10+ years in cybersecurity. You want to leave your corporate role, or you already did. You need a methodology, a brand, and tools to win SMB clients without building everything from scratch. CT4.DIRECT gives you all three — at a fixed cost.
The Boutique Firm Founder
You run a small cybersecurity consulting practice (1–10 people). You want to differentiate from the bigger firms and offer enterprise-grade methodology at SMB-friendly pricing. CT4.DIRECT becomes your competitive edge — and your team's credential.
The Regional Specialist
You're an experienced expert in a specific country, region, or industry vertical (healthcare, finance, manufacturing). You want to be the go-to CT4 authority for that market. Apply, get listed on the portal, and own your geography.
Two Tiers — Pick the Right Fit
