Re: Sole Source Justification – Domain Advisory Membership: Security

Dear West Virginia Lottery, This sole source justification demonstrates Info-Tech Research Group's ("Info-Tech") exclusive capability to meet West Virginia Lottery's needs for domain-specific security advisory services. Info-Tech is a sole source provider for the scope of services described herein; the specific combination of proprietary deliverables, curriculum, and delivery model described below is not available from any other single vendor.

Business Need

Organizations face persistent security risk amid accelerating technology change, staffing gaps, and fragmented decision-making:

• 88% of cybersecurity professionals say their organization has experienced at least one significant security consequence as a direct result of a skills shortage, and 95% of organizations report having at least one cybersecurity skill gap — a 5% increase from 2024 — with 59% citing those gaps as critical or significant (ISC2 2025 Cybersecurity Workforce Study).

• 53% of security professionals say silos weaken overall security posture, and 40% say IT teams don't understand their organization's risk tolerance (Ivanti, 2025; MIT Media Lab, 2025).

• IT teams act without the same risk awareness, context, or language that security teams rely on — driving preventable exposure across systems, processes, and access controls.

Addressing these challenges requires continuous access to expert guidance, data-backed diagnostics, and actionable research aligned to established frameworks (e.g., NIST, ISO) to fortify controls, secure endpoints, and minimize attack surface — while aligning to organizational risk tolerance.

Program Overview

The Domain Advisory – Security membership provides West Virginia Lottery’s designated Information

Security Officer with focused access to Info-Tech's security research and domain analysts. The membership is designed to support security strategy, governance, risk management, compliance alignment, security operations, and secure adoption of emerging technologies, including AI.

Key features include:

• Access to Domain Analysts: Unlimited phone access to subject matter experts within the Security domain.

• All Research & Tools: Full access to Info-Tech's complete library of research, blueprints, tools, and templates across all IT domains — including 450+ project blueprints and 1,000+ tools and templates.

• Domain-Specific Diagnostics: Access to diagnostics tailored to the Security domain to assess maturity, identify gaps, and guide improvement.

• Digital Learning & Events: Participation in domain-relevant roundtables, webinars, and Info-Tech

Academy courses.

Info-Tech Research Group Inc. | Sole Source Document | MIST | Information Technology Services | July 2, 2026

• Security Advisory Access specifically includes:

o Security Playbook o Security Risk, Strategy & Governance o Security Technology & Operations o Security Research Centers o Security-Specific Diagnostics: Security Governance & Management Scorecard, Business

Satisfaction & Alignment, and Process & Technology Effectiveness

• Contract Vehicle & Pricing (GSA SIN 54151S 26-005-SEC): $15,314.86 discounted to $10,000.00 via Info-Tech's Q4 promotion that expires on July 31st, 2026.

Sole Source Justification — The Info-Tech Difference

Based on a market review of available providers, West Virginia Lottery did not identify a single-vendor solution that combines all of the following in one integrated program:

• Proprietary research and frameworks: Info-Tech uniquely provides proprietary research blueprints, unlimited analyst advisory access, integrated benchmarking tools, and guided implementation models under a single subscription model. These services are not available from any other vendor or reseller.

• Unlimited, domain-specific advisory: The membership includes unlimited access to Analyst Calls within the Security Domain of Research, full access to diagnostic benchmarking programs, and a comprehensive core IT research library including tools, templates, and AI Marketplace.

• Data-backed diagnostics and ready-to-use deliverables: Security-focused diagnostics enable evidence-based prioritization, measurable improvements, and board-ready reporting customizable to

West Virginia Lottery's unique business needs.

• Technology Evolution & Annual Refresh: Info-Tech Research Group Inc. continuously updates its research, products, methodologies, and pricing on an annual basis to reflect emerging technologies, evolving cybersecurity threats, regulatory changes, and modern IT operating challenges — ensuring

West Virginia Lottery consistently receives the most current research and advisory services available.

• Lack of Acceptable Alternatives: No equivalent vendor offers the same combination of proprietary research, unlimited advisory services, benchmarking tools, and structured implementation support in a subscription format.

Replicating this scope of integrated services through multiple vendors would introduce additional cost, coordination complexity, and delivery risk that would not serve the best interests of West Virginia Lottery

Proven Results

Info-Tech's IT Security Governance & Management Diagnostic — a key component of the Domain Advisory

– Security membership — delivers measurable, documented outcomes for members:

• 9.3/10 Overall satisfaction

• 16.3 days saved on average

• $21,470 average U.S. dollar impact per engagement.
