Questions

Who reads our request?

A senior analyst, the same business day. Not a sales team.

What does a report cost?

Custom threat reports start from $3,000 CAD. The final fixed price depends on scope, cadence and how many countries, sites or suppliers you need covered, and it is agreed in the proposal before any work starts.

Can we share reports internally?

Yes, within your organization, under the terms in your agreement. Reports are marked CLIENT CONFIDENTIAL.

Do you cite sources?

Yes, in every client report. Where a source must stay protected, we describe it without naming it.
