Design Partner Program

3 spots open

Help us build the European compliance tool you wish you had.

We are looking for three organisations — mid-sized banks, fintechs, NIS2 critical suppliers — willing to shape Pyxis during its launch phase. In return: discounted credits for the first year, direct founder access, and a product roadmap aligned with your real audit constraints.

Apply for your organisation

Not a marketing program. A technical collaboration.

What you get

Full transparency: no wordplay, no "sponsor program", no hidden pricing teasers.

-50% credit pricing for the first year

Credit packs at 50% of public list pricing for 12 months from signature. No annual commit required: you pay when you consume, on the same pay-as-you-go model as every other customer.

Weekly founder call

30 minutes every week with the founder. Real technical conversation: frameworks that grind on you, product gaps in your audit workflow, architecture decisions. No customer-success theatre.

Co-design feedback loop

Your requests enter the Pyxis roadmap with explicit priority. New scoring features, new sector profiles, new reports — built with your input, before public release.

Optional public citation

If at the end of the program you want to be cited as a Design Partner on the site (logo + testimonial), great. If your internal policy keeps you anonymous, that's equally fine. The choice is always yours.

Who we are looking for

Three ideal profiles. You do not need to fit perfectly — these are filters, not walls.

Mid-market banks and fintechs in DORA scope

100 to 1,000 employees, DORA + NIS2 perimeter, structured compliance program in place but not yet automated. You want to cut your ICT audit cycle defensibly.

NIS2-critical ICT suppliers

Cloud providers, MSPs, software vendors who receive assessment requests from regulated customers. Pyxis gives you a shareable report instead of answering 40 custom questionnaires.

Healthcare or PA in EU AI Act scope

Organisations deploying high-risk AI systems (Annex III) preparing for the 2 August 2026 deadline. You want a methodological baseline that combines AI Act + ISO 42001 + NIS2.

What we ask of you

The program works if both sides invest. We ask:

  • Run at least one MFA per month for the first 6 months (with your actual team, real data — not sandbox)
  • Attend the weekly 30-minute call (occasional skips fine; sustained absence tells us the fit is not there)
  • Submit short structured feedback after each MFA (5 minutes, focused on UX gaps or framework coverage)
  • Reasonable confidentiality on pre-releases (mutual standard NDA, not onerous)

Likely questions

How long does the program last?

12 months from DPA signature. The -50% discount applies for those 12 months; after that, regular list pricing (any credits purchased during the program never expire, same as for everyone).

Can I exit early?

Yes. No penalties. Residual credits remain yours and never expire.

What if the 3 spots are already filled?

We add you to a transparent waitlist. When a Design Partner completes the cycle or exits, we contact the waitlist in order of arrival.

Does it replace a real audit?

No, never. Pyxis is a readiness / gap-analysis tool, not a formal conformity assessment under any framework. Only a qualified auditor can issue formal compliance.
