Technical advisory
Independent expert guidance on the decisions that matter — from choosing monitoring technology to auditing what you already have.
The problem it solves
Big monitoring decisions deserve an independent expert.
Choosing technology, designing a monitoring approach, or confirming a critical call — these decisions carry real risk, and vendor advice is rarely neutral. DTG gives specialist, independent guidance aligned with your outcome, not a product.

How advisory helps
Advisory for the decision you're facing.
Selecting technology
You're investing in monitoring and need to choose well — without a vendor steering you.
- We define what your risk actually requires, first
- Compare technologies objectively across vendors
- Recommend the right fit — driven by your risk, not a product
- Support the specification and procurement
Reviewing an approach
You have a monitoring setup and want to know it's fit for purpose.
- Review scope, coverage and sensor placement
- Check alignment with your risk and TARP
- Identify blind spots and gaps
- Recommend practical improvements
A second opinion
You have the calls covered internally, but want independent assurance on the critical ones.
- Independent audit of monitoring and interpretation
- Review of escalation and decision-making
- A defensible, documented second opinion
- Assurance for boards, regulators or clients
After an event
Something moved, failed or triggered — and you need expert input, fast.

FAQs
Common questions.
Is advisory a one-off, or ongoing?
Both. Many engagements are a single decision — a technology choice, an audit, a second opinion. But we can also act as your retained independent advisor over time.
Do you recommend specific vendors' products?
We're technology-agnostic — we recommend across the market for your requirement, not from one product line. Where a specific technology fits best, we'll say so and explain why.
Can you review monitoring another firm set up?
Yes. Independent review across vendors and providers is a core part of advisory — we assess whatever is in place, regardless of who supplied or configured it.
Do you provide expert review for disputes or due diligence?
Yes. We provide independent expert review, due diligence on monitoring systems, and defensible input for stakeholders, insurers or dispute contexts.
How is advisory different from your other services?
Advisory is guidance on decisions; the other services are ongoing delivery — the watch, the reporting, the analytics. Advisory often leads into them, but it can stand entirely on its own.
