Information Services Group (ISG) has initiated a major research study to evaluate providers of cybersecurity services and solutions, with results to be published in a series of ISG Provider Lens® reports in July 2026. The study aims to help enterprises navigate a reorganizing cybersecurity market by assessing providers across seven critical capability domains, from strategic consulting to technical execution, in response to sophisticated AI-enabled threats and expanding regulatory demands.
ISG has launched a research study evaluating cybersecurity services and solutions providers, with reports scheduled for July 2026.
The study will cover providers across seven defined capability domains, or quadrants, representing core enterprise security purchases.
Key quadrants include Strategic Security Services, Next-gen SOC/MDR, Risk-based Vulnerability Management, and Post-quantum Encryption Consulting.
The research is driven by enterprise needs to secure complex IT architectures and demonstrate cyber resilience to regulators and boards.
Surveys have been distributed to over 350 cybersecurity providers globally.
Geographically focused reports will cover markets including the U.S., U.K., Germany, Australia, Brazil, France, and Switzerland.
The study is a response to market reorganization and mounting pressures on enterprises. “The cybersecurity market is reorganizing itself into clearly defined capability domains,” said Heiko Henkes, managing director, ISG Provider Lens Research. “As regulatory demands expand, enterprises are seeking providers that can deliver cyber resilience through strategy, technical execution and intelligence-driven operations.” Enterprises must now secure distributed architectures against advanced threats while proving effective data control, making strategic cybersecurity services integral to digital transformation.
The research will structure its evaluation across seven specific service and solution quadrants to reflect typical enterprise buying patterns. These are: Strategic Security Services (SSS) for governance and risk consulting; Technical Security Services (TSS) for technology implementation; Next-gen SOC/MDR Services for threat monitoring and response; Risk-based Vulnerability Management for contextual risk analysis; Post-quantum Encryption Consulting for quantum computing preparedness; Data Leakage/Loss Prevention (DLP) and Data Security software; and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) platforms.
The research has a broad geographic focus, covering the global market with specific reports for the U.S., U.K., Australia, Brazil, France, Germany, Switzerland, and the U.S. public sector. The resulting reports will serve as critical tools for enterprise buyers to assess vendor relationships and for ISG advisors to provide data-driven recommendations to clients, incorporating expanded customer experience data to reflect real-world service delivery.
ISG’s comprehensive study underscores the maturation and specialization of the cybersecurity services market. By evaluating providers across distinct, critical domains—from high-level strategy to quantum-risk mitigation—the upcoming reports will provide a necessary framework for enterprises to select partners capable of delivering the integrated, intelligence-driven cyber resilience required in today’s complex threat and regulatory environment.
