About this Gig
Former Channel Sales Engineer & Senior Network Security Architect with 15+ years helping companies evaluate firewalls, SASE, zero-trust, SD-WAN, Cisco, Palo Alto, Fortinet, etc. I know exactly how vendors position and over-promise, now I work exclusively for buyers.
Ill review your RFPs, security questionnaires, architecture claims, and responses. I'll run a technical call if needed and deliver a clear, scored report with:
- Red-flag list (the stuff that always fails in production)
- Risk summary for your environment
- Recommendation + next steps
- No sales spin, no vendor relationships

FAQ
What do I need to provide to get started?
Just share the vendor list (2–5 max), any RFP documents/questionnaires/responses you've received, your environment details (e.g., size, cloud provider if relevant, key concerns), and any specific focus areas. No direct access to your systems or vendor portals is required—everything is off-site revie
What vendors or technologies do you cover?
I specialize in network security vendors like firewalls (Palo Alto, Cisco, Fortinet), SASE/ZTNA (Zscaler, Prisma Access), SD-WAN, zero-trust solutions, cloud security tools, and more. Multi-vendor and agnostic, tell me your shortlist, and I'll evaluate based on my 13+ years in Sales Engineering
Do you perform hands-on testing, PoCs, or installations?
No, this is a consultative review service only. I analyze documents, claims, and run technical discussions/calls with vendors if needed (in Standard/Premium). No access to your environment, no config changes, no actual PoC execution—just unbiased analysis, red flags, risks, and recommendations.
How long does a typical review take?
Basic: 1 day (quick scorecard). Standard: 2 days (includes call + report). Premium: 4 days (deeper guidance + roadmap). Delivery starts once I have all materials; rush options available as extras.
What format is the final deliverable?
A clear PDF report (1-page scorecard for Basic; 5+ pages for Standard/Premium) with scored comparison, red-flag list, architecture risks, recommendations, and next steps. Includes any call recordings/transcripts if applicable.
Can you sign an NDA or work with sensitive info?
Yes, I'm happy to sign your NDA before starting. All client info and documents are handled confidentially and deleted after project completion.
What if I only have partial vendor responses?
No problem, I can still provide value on what's available, highlight gaps in their responses, and suggest follow-up questions to ask vendors. Full materials yield the deepest insights, but partial is common and workable.
How do revisions work?
All packages include revisions for clarifications or minor adjustments based on my initial report. If major changes are needed (e.g., new vendors added), we can handle via extras or additional orders.
Is this suitable for small teams/startups or only large enterprises?
Perfect for mid-market, startups, or growing companies evaluating vendors without in-house deep security expertise. I focus on practical, cost-effective advice tailored to your scale and risks.
What makes your review different from free online resources?
My insider Channel SE perspective spots vendor spin, common pitfalls in production deployments, and architecture mismatches that generic reviews miss. It's personalized, unbiased (no vendor ties), and actionable for your specific setup.
