Mandatory Revenue Sharing Undermines Profitability

This provision requires certified cybersecurity professionals to surrender 30% of their revenue to the cybersecurity fund while charging only government-mandated flat rates set by the Authority. This creates a business environment where the regulatory authority controls both pricing and extracts substantial revenue from the market it regulates—a financial conflict of interest that concentrates power and reduces business profitability. Combined with licensing requirements in 17 and 18, this creates high barriers to market entry and eliminates pricing flexibility that businesses need to compete and differentiate services.
