Independent, risk-informed
evaluation of cybersecurity tools
that leaders can trust
At Triplett Services LLC, our Watchman Portfolio Tool Analysis helps CIOs and CISOs compare tools objectively, reduce decision risk, and define an implementation path aligned with business priorities.
Why Watchman & Our Approach?
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.
Our Watchman method brings structure, independence, and defensible evidence.
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 Proof of Concept (PoC)
- Hands-on validation with risk, performance, and integration checkpoints.
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
