Single SecureDynamics SKU
SDYN-DEP-ADV is the commercial deployment motion
SecureDynamics helps partners simplify commercial Zscaler deployments with one Advanced Deployment SKU for customers up to 5,000 users. It combines expert deployment guidance, deployment-time training, Aiden (Ai-den), our always-on AI project manager, and FREE first-year ZBoost support so customers learn while they launch, not months later if training ever gets scheduled.
This page intentionally uses relative cost bands only. Partners get simple per-user pricing, with a floor for smaller deals, while preserving plenty of room for healthy margin.
What the single SKU covers
A clean default for commercial Zscaler deployments
SDYN-DEP-ADV is positioned as the standard commercial-market attach because partners need simple per-user pricing, a practical floor for smaller deals, credible delivery, and adoption support without turning every 5,000-and-below opportunity into a custom services exercise.
ZTSM-led launch
SecureDynamics Zero Trust Success Managers guide the customer through launch decisions, risk, adoption priorities, and partner-safe delivery checkpoints.
Training while deploying
As Zscaler's only authorized training partner in North America, SecureDynamics trains the customer during deployment so enablement happens in the flow of real work.
Aiden, your AI project manager
Aiden (Ai-den) never sleeps: it tracks progress, builds Gantt charts, organizes follow-ups, and keeps improving so ZTSMs spend more time with the customer and less time on clerical paperwork.
ZBoost value add
ZBoost is FREE for every customer in the first year, keeping the deployment from becoming a handoff cliff by carrying adoption, health checks, optimization, and renewal-confidence work into the lifecycle motion.
Relative cost guide
Use bands to explain why an opportunity may move beyond the default
The goal is not to publish a price sheet. The goal is to help partners recognize when SDYN-DEP-ADV is enough and when scope, scale, or non-platform delivery should trigger a services review.
| Cost driver | Band | Why it moves | Partner guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| SDYN-DEP-ADV | $ / $$ | Default commercial deployment motion with ZTSM guidance, Aiden AI project management, deployment-time training, and FREE first-year ZBoost adoption support. | Lead with this as the normal attach for commercial Zscaler opportunities up to 5,000 users. The model leaves partners room for their own profitability. |
| First-year ZBoost | FREE year one | Every customer receives first-year ZBoost adoption support after deployment, including health checks, optimization, and renewal-confidence momentum. | Position as the difference between deployed and adopted, with no added first-year services charge. |
| Aiden AI project management | Included | Aiden is part of the value model, tracking progress, building Gantt charts, and reducing clerical load throughout the deployment. | Use this to explain why SecureDynamics can give ZTSMs more customer-facing time without making the motion heavier. |
| Non-platform delivery SKUs | Adds $ / $$ / $$$ | Custom, adjacent, or non-platform work is charged above the standard motion and can add a little, a moderate amount, or a lot depending on scope. | Treat as an exception. Review scope before the customer sees a services commitment. |
| Above commercial-market fit | Adds $$$ | Larger environments, unusual dependency chains, or onsite expectations may exceed the simple commercial SKU motion. | Keep SDYN-DEP-ADV as the commercial default, then validate whether a larger-scope path is needed. |
Non-platform delivery services add-ons
For anything related to these SKUs, SecureDynamics calculates the appropriate add-on amount at quoting time, always well below Zscaler's own pricing (PSC- items below are the Zscaler Professional Services SKUs we align with).

Aiden and the ZTSM workflow turn deployment activity into practical reporting so every audience can see the version of progress, risk, and next steps they actually need.
Qualification checklist
Use SDYN-DEP-ADV when the customer needs simple commercial deployment structure
The single SKU works best when the partner wants a repeatable, credible Zscaler deployment motion for commercial accounts, backed by training, automation, and lifecycle adoption support.
Good fit for Advanced
- The customer is aligned to the Commercial market, up to 5,000 users.
- The partner needs simple pricing and a clear default services attach.
- The customer needs training during deployment, not after adoption has already stalled.
- The opportunity benefits from Aiden's AI-assisted progress tracking and Gantt-style visibility.
- ZBoost is FREE for the first year and keeps adoption moving after the initial launch work.
Review before quoting
- Scope includes non-platform delivery.
- Onsite work is expected.
- User count rises above the commercial-market fit.
- Customer asks for custom integrations or unusual dependencies.
- The partner wants a post-year-one ZBoost or managed-services motion.
Partner talk track
Make the message simple: one SKU, clear scope, fewer surprises
Why not start smaller?
SDYN-DEP-ADV is already tuned for commercial simplicity. It gives the customer deployment guidance, integrated training, Aiden project tracking, and FREE first-year ZBoost without asking the partner to assemble the motion piece by piece.
What is not automatically included?
Non-platform delivery, unusual custom work, onsite delivery, and above-commercial scale exceptions should be reviewed before they become assumptions.
How do we handle cost questions?
Use relative bands to explain direction. Keep the public story focused on value and scope, then route formal pricing through the normal partner quote process.
Default services attach
Standardize the commercial motion around SDYN-DEP-ADV
Use the Advanced SKU when the opportunity needs a simple commercial deployment path, ZTSM-led guidance, training during deployment, Aiden AI project management, and FREE first-year ZBoost support that helps customers move from launch to adoption.
