Frequently Asked Questions

▶ What is SD-WAN and why do I need it?

SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) is a virtual WAN architecture that allows enterprises to leverage any combination of transport services — including MPLS, LTE, and broadband internet — to securely connect users to applications. It provides centralised management, improved performance, and cost savings over traditional WAN approaches.

▶ How does the RFP Builder work?

The Netify RFP Builder automates the procurement process. Select your industry sector, define your technical requirements, and the tool generates a comprehensive RFP document. It automatically maps compliance standards (NHS DSPT, HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC2) to vendor capabilities, scoring responses to help you make informed decisions.

▶ Is Netify free to use?

Yes, Netify remains free for organisations to use. We earn revenue through our marketplace model where vendors pay to participate. This means you get unbiased comparisons and competitive bids at no cost to your organisation.

▶ What compliance standards does Netify support?

Netify currently supports mapping to NHS DSPT (Data Security and Protection Toolkit), HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard), and SOC2 (Service Organization Control 2). We continuously add support for additional frameworks.

Supported Sectors

Healthcare organisations face unique networking challenges with NHS DSPT and HIPAA compliance requirements. Netify helps you identify vendors that meet clinical data security standards, support telemedicine workloads, and integrate with existing NHS infrastructure.

🏥

Healthcare RFPs automatically include NHS DSPT toolkit mapping and clinical data flow requirements.

Manufacturing environments require reliable connectivity for IoT devices, SCADA systems, and multi-site operations. Netify's manufacturing RFP template addresses OT/IT convergence, low-latency requirements, and industrial protocol support.

Retail networks must support PCI DSS compliance for payment processing, guest Wi-Fi, digital signage, and inventory management across distributed store locations. Our retail template covers all critical retail networking requirements.

Financial services demand the highest levels of security and compliance. Netify's finance RFP template addresses SOC2 compliance, encryption requirements, DDoS protection, and regulatory reporting capabilities.
