I can't put a dollar figure on it right now. And the survey is unforgiving when asking for a dollar amount. Regarding the feedback – it was very good. I received good feedback.

One of my first engagements with Info-Tech. It gave me a lot of insight into an area where I am a newbie. I also got directions, references, and resources to look into. Thumbs up.

The ability to perform a self evaluation of our security governance was an invaluable starting point for development of our security roadmap. The process was well structured and the analyst was extremely helpful. The greatest challenge is using the information gathered to begin the process now.

Canadian Grain Commission

The overall methodology of the survey and the result and recommended actions are all valuable information.

Pittsburgh Corning Corporation

Consultant needs higher quality voice communication tools... microphone, headset, etc.

Wixon Inc.

Wesley's input on prioritizing areas for improvement was valuable.

Genworth Financial

Best: It confirmed some gaps we thought we had. Worst: Doesn't give a benchmark against other survey participants to show if we are good, better, or worse than others.

Pita Pit Limited

$3,752

Completing the survey for the diagnostic was easy. The completed diagnostic report we were given provides a good insight. The adviser was needed to put it in perspective and give clarity on the action steps. The report could be overwhelming otherwise.

Positive and informative interaction. Really appreciate what your team has to offer.

Good experience; no downside really.

Nuna Logistics Limited

$6,000

The diagnostic report is easy to read, follow, and understand and, importantly, it includes recommendations for action with the description of the issues. Going through the report with the security expert from Info-Tech helped us to understand more thoroughly and, through discussion, helped to identify which areas should be our priorities. This will help us move forward quickly and get the most benefits faster.

National Cooperative Bank NA

$1,312

No worst aspects, except many of the solutions seem to be designed for mid to large organizations and require many internal resources to complete. Best aspects include confirmation of my analysis and provides insight into areas, processes, or concepts I may not have thought of.

Osage Casino - Tulsa

Got a ton of information from a very basic set of questions.

Colonial Savings, F.A.

I find incredible value in the insight provided. The reports are very easy to understand and use in supporting a change or move in a certain direction.

Real Estate One

I think Info-Tech's guidance is always well-presented and useful, and we're incorporating much of that guidance into our work plans. I'm also most comfortable starting most initiatives at the most basic level of engagement (e.g. downloading blueprints and roadmaps), but sometimes I feel like there's more of a focus on more involved levels of engagement (often outside of the scope of the subscription).

The analyst was very thorough and asked relevant questions to determine how to best use the data to our benefit. The analyst sometimes spoke too rapidly, which made it hard for me to understand him.

This was a valuable process to walk through. A good experience. Not all aspects are relevant to a very small shop like mine. We have a low budget, and maybe 1/2 or 1/4 resources dedicated to security. We do not have the luxury to put in place some items that are mentioned in the questionnaire.
