Transparency alternatives to Shield
Other eDiscovery and archiving vendors we measure, sorted by how much we found at them and not at Shield. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 38 that differ from Shield on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
Shield has 8 gaps in what we could measure: Subprocessor list, Data location stated, Status page with history, Public pricing, Uptime SLA with a figure, No third-party tracking before consent, security.txt (RFC 9116), Named privacy contact. The column “Found there, not found at Shield” is the one that closes them.

Only criteria we could measure for both are counted. Where we could measure one and not the other, the row is silent: that would be a statement about our measurement, not about either vendor. Every single result with its source is on the two profiles.
