Independent, risk-informed
evaluation of cybersecurity tools
that leaders can trust
Triplett Services, is now providing Watchman Advisory Services in partnership with Watchman Global Alliance Management to assist CIOs and CISOs compare tools objectively, reduce decision risk, and define an implementation path aligned with business priorities.
Why do Watchman Advisory and Portfolio Analysis Services provide important risk transparency?
Selecting cybersecurity tools is difficult when vendors look similar, risk exposure keeps changing, and internal teams don’t have the time to do a full technical and risk evaluation.
The Watchman Advisory Services, leveraging the analysis of the Watchman Portfolio Analysis, can provide transparency to capability weaknesses & gaps, and assist in the orchestration of the solution and improvement roadmap.
Our phased approach includes:
1️⃣ Discovery
- Understanding your environment, risk profile, constraints, and business goals.
2️⃣ Requirements Definition
- Clear functional, technical, security, and governance requirements.
3️⃣ Landscape Mapping
- A curated Watchman portfolio of relevant vendors and tools.
4️⃣ RFI / RFP Management
- Evidence-based comparison using standardized questions and scoring.
5️⃣ Current Implementation Assessment
- Moving beyond the potential of the product’s capabilities and examining weaknesses in the breadth of implementation, architecture, policy, governance and operations.
6️⃣ Implementation Roadmap
- A practical, business-aligned roadmap that shows timeline, risks, dependencies, and adoption requirements.
What makes this approaach different...
- Independent, vendor-neutral evaluation
- Risk-adjusted scoring, not just feature comparison
- Strong governance lens (auditability, compliance, reporting)
- Business-value alignment instead of tool-first justification
