Common questions
How does Krynthnode compare with Gartner or Forrester?
Krynthnode provides subscription research and analyst advisory in a format comparable to global analyst firms such as Gartner and Forrester, with a deeper focus on technology and cybersecurity, published confidence grades for every key finding and integral coverage of Indian regulation. Organisations may also use Krynthnode alongside a global research provider.
How does Krynthnode compare with the Big Four?
Deloitte, EY, KPMG and PwC are global professional services networks offering audit, tax and consulting across many disciplines. Krynthnode concentrates on technology and cybersecurity, combining research with advisory, cyber audit and virtual CISO services. We do not implement or resell technology, and we do not audit controls we have designed or operate.
When is a global firm more suitable?
For programmes that require coverage of many international markets at once, or large implementation teams across several disciplines, a global firm may be better placed. We will advise you if we believe that is the case.
Can Krynthnode complement our existing providers?
Yes. Krynthnode can complement an existing research provider or professional services firm, for example by providing an independent view on vendor selection, cloud strategy or cybersecurity investment.
