Forrester evaluated twelve global vendors providing Security and Risk Consulting Services across 75 criteria. The report states, "Wipro has made a significant dent in the consulting market by focusing on identity and access management (IAM) and then expanding much beyond."

Prasenjit Saha, Vice President and Global Head, Enterprise Security Solutions at Wipro Technologies, said, "We understand customers' priorities of keeping pace with evolving security threats and the changing regulatory environment. We believe the recognition by Forrester reinforces our commitment to address these challenges and our focus on investments that deliver innovative solutions which help our customers stay ahead of the curve."

The report further states, "Wipro is the only Indian offshore provider with a standalone security consulting practice. While price remains a key differentiator, it has made significant progress in the North American and European markets. Its strength is in streamlining technologies and process in complex tactical security projects. It has developed some innovative consulting offerings in IAM and continues to provide value to clients in other areas such as data protection."
