Featured Case Study

Enterprise SIEM replacement

A regulated organization replaced a legacy SIEM after architecture mapping, data pipeline design, and a scored POC—reducing duplicate tooling and improving detection coverage.

Architecture map
Sources, parsers, routing
Scored POC
Use cases + integrations
Operational handoff
Runbooks + ownership

Trust is earned with transparency: published evaluation criteria, documented assumptions, and architecture evidence—not logo walls.

Buyer-first

We represent your technical requirements in vendor conversations—reducing shelfware risk.

Evidence-led

POCs, integrations, and operational fit are scored—not inferred from a slide deck.

Confidential

We treat architecture details and timelines as sensitive—share only what you approve.

Proof points reflect evaluated programs and delivery outcomes.

Stop Buying Tools, Start Building Architecture

We help security leaders make vendor decisions based on technical architecture, not marketing materials.

Broker vs. buying direct

Direct outreach optimizes for sales cycles. A broker optimizes for fit evidence—integrations, data flows, ownership, and operational cost—before procurement accelerates.

Categories we help evaluate

Identity, detection & response, cloud security posture, data protection, application security, and supporting platforms (SIEM/SOAR/XDR, CNAPP, DSPM, etc.).

FAQ

Objections answered directly—no hand-wavy “trust us.”

Why use a broker instead of going direct to vendors?

Direct conversations prioritize demos and pipeline. We prioritize evidence: architecture fit, integration path, and operational load—so procurement buys what your environment can actually run.

Do you charge the buyer?

Engagements vary: advisory and shortlist work may be fee-based; some programs are supported by vendor participation. We disclose conflicts up front and align incentives to technical outcomes.

How do you stay unbiased?

We document scoring weights, assumptions, and test plans before vendors are shortlisted. If a relationship creates a conflict, we surface it and adjust evaluation ownership.

Which vendors do you evaluate?

We work across the ecosystem—incumbents and emerging vendors—filtered by your constraints. We do not promise “coverage” of every product; we promise a defensible shortlist for your requirements.

How long does a shortlist process take?

Typically 2–6 weeks for discovery + scoring, depending on stakeholder access and data availability. POCs add calendar time based on scope.

Can you support compliance-driven evaluations?

Yes—we map controls to architecture decisions (logging, access, data flows) and help you evidence decisions for audit conversations. Legal/compliance sign-off remains yours.

SMB vs. enterprise—who is this for?

We support mid-market through global enterprises. Smaller teams often need tighter scoping; larger teams need coordination—both are workable with clear outcomes.

What happens after I submit a request?

We confirm scope, schedule a working session, and propose a shortlist plan (criteria, timeline, artifacts). Typical response within one business day.
