Before we start
Frequently asked questions
How long does an engagement usually take?
Software license quotes and volume pricing options are delivered within 1–2 business days. Enterprise vendor negotiations and proof-of-concept setups typically take 1–3 weeks.
What should we prepare before work starts?
To prepare a tailored software licensing quote or procurement spec, we need: active user and endpoint/cloud node counts, current security tool stack, upcoming license renewal target dates, and any vendor preference or integration requirements.
Will we receive only a technical report?
No. The standard output includes an executive summary, prioritised detail, evidence, remediation guidance and a results workshop. Where relevant, the engagement includes a retest or implementation roadmap.
Will you recommend a specific vendor?
Yes, where evidence and testing show that a solution best meets the requirements. The recommendation should show alternatives, weights, constraints, TCO and any commercial relationship rather than relying on brand popularity.
Must the proof of concept run in production?
Not always. Some requirements can be tested in a lab or with representative data. A production proof of concept is useful for real telemetry, performance or integration and needs data, change and rollback controls.
