PwC announced that it was cited as a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Cybersecurity Consulting Service, Q1 2026.

Commenting on PwC, the report mentions the following:

  • Strategy. PwC embeds cybersecurity into enterprise transformation, emphasizing risk-informed decision-making and platform-based consolidation. Its vision aligns strongly with business priorities, and its pricing models include subscription and outcome-based options, offering flexibility for multiyear programs. Its innovation approach leans toward incremental improvements rather than disruptive advancements.
  • Capabilities. PwC differentiates with tools like Cyber Risk Engine and Portfolio Rationalization, enabling data-driven prioritization and measurable posture improvement. It performs well in project and program management, demonstrating strength in managing complex transformations. PwC is competitive in AI-enabled delivery and governance. PwC maintains a strong presence in executive circles through summits and CISO roundtables but lacks structured programs for hands-on practitioner engagement or grassroots knowledge sharing.
  • Customer feedback. Customers praise PwC’s ability to engage senior leadership and deliver structured program governance. However, they note gaps in practitioner-level training and community engagement.
  • Forrester’s take. PwC suits enterprises focused on governance-driven outcomes and structured program oversight.
