Requirements
What the solution must do, derived from your risks, findings and environment.
Advisory & intelligence
Choosing security solutions — with European options on the table
When a measure requires new technology, the market is overwhelming. We help you define what you need, find credible options — with a strong focus on European vendors and open source — and make a decision you can justify.
Why vendor selection is harder than it should be
- The market is huge and every vendor claims to cover everything
- European vendors are often less visible than the largest global players
- Open-source options are hard to assess without experience
- Selections are driven by marketing instead of requirements

-
Decide
You decide — we help plan implementation and integration.
Curated, not certified
Our vendor database is curated intelligence: we research and structure vendors and solutions. It is not a certification or audit of each vendor. Final due diligence on security, contracts and data protection remains part of every selection.
From ISMS to solution
Vendor selection starts with the risk, not the product
Vendor research is one step in a chain — not where it begins.
- ISMS
- Risk
- Missing capability
- Required measure
- Existing stack checked
- Vendor & tool research
- Implementation decision
What you get out of it
- A decision based on requirements, not marketing
- Credible European and open-source alternatives considered
- A documented rationale for your ISMS and auditors
Frequently asked questions
Are the vendors in your database verified?
Our database is curated: we research, categorize and describe vendors and solutions. It does not mean every vendor has been formally audited. We are transparent about this and support due diligence as part of the selection.
Do vendors pay to be included?
No. Our recommendations are driven by your requirements. We do not resell products.
Can I search the database myself?
Yes. Customers can access the vendor database in the FeldmannCyber App. See Vendor Intelligence.
