SecurityTechIndex does not rank vendors — it computes transparent statistical distributions.

Why SecurityTechIndex exists

Vendor marketing ≠ procurement reality

Public pricing and contract data vary widely by scope and assumptions.

Weighted scoring hides assumptions

Rankings obscure the statistical distribution behind cost claims.

Deterministic rules create clarity

Transparent thresholds. Transparent trimming. Repeatable results.

What SecurityTechIndex Publishes

SecurityTechIndex publishes transparent statistical distributions — not rankings.

MedianPercentile range (P25–P75)Trimmed distribution (≥20 observations)

Cost Per Channel

Neutral. Benchmarked. Defensible.

No opinions, no hype — just cost intelligence you can stake your budget on.

Independent Benchmarks
Sourced from public procurement, published pricing, and cooperative contracts. No vendor influence.
Lifecycle TCO Modeling
3-year and 5-year total cost of ownership with configurable escalation, inflation, and replacement cycles.
NDAA Compliance Filters
Segment and compare NDAA-compliant vs non-compliant hardware with transparent cost deltas.

Built on Verified Public Procurement Intelligence

Our benchmarks are sourced from government contract databases, cooperative purchasing agreements, and verified public procurement records.
