If you have run security at a mid-market company, you know the script.
The audit gets booked, or the board reads a breach headline, or a buyer asks for a SOC 2 attestation. Suddenly you have to spend money. So you call a consultant. They show up for six weeks, charge you fifty thousand dollars, and hand you a deck. The deck says you need a SIEM, an EDR, and an MDR. It does not say which SIEM. It does not say which EDR. It does not say what the SIEM should detect. They leave. You are the one who has to actually buy something.
So you call a few vendors. Each rep says their tool is the answer. The Falcon rep tells you about Falcon. The Sentinel rep tells you about Sentinel. The Wiz rep tells you about Wiz. None of them tell you which configuration policy to apply on day one. Each one says: we will help you with that during onboarding.
While that is happening, your CFO asks how much this is going to cost. You can answer for the products you have already quoted, but you cannot answer for the whole stack, because no one has put the whole stack on a single page next to a number.
Three months later, you have spent something. You have a SIEM that nobody is watching, an EDR with default policies, and a board that is mildly comforted but not sure what they actually got. The audit still flags gaps. The CFO is now skeptical of the next request. The cycle repeats.
This is not a failing of any one team. It is what happens when nobody on the buying side is incentivized to give you the answer to what should I buy. Consultants are paid by the hour. GRC tools are paid for telling you what is missing. Vendors are paid to sell you their thing. The buyer pays for the absence of an answer in time, money, and risk.
So we built the thing we wished existed.
CyberTwin tells you, in 90 seconds: at your size, at your sensitivity, at your budget, with what you already own — here is the Lean stack, here is the Balanced stack, here is the Advanced stack. Real product names. Real prices. Real configurations. Three coherent options instead of a 200-item checklist. The output is a page you can take to a CFO, a board, or an auditor without translation.
It is not magic. The decisions come from a deterministic engine over a curated catalog. The LLM writes the prose around that, never the architecture. Every product name and price in the narrative is checked against the structured output before you see it. We refuse to invent things.
And we publish the prices. Not because we are noble — because every other tool in this space hides them, and that is the trick the consultants are running. Buyers should be able to compare. So we make it possible.
If you are running security at a mid-market company, try it. Tell us what is wrong with the output. We will fix it. The product gets better when the people doing the work tell us where it is short.
