Transparency alternatives to Watershed
Other ESG reporting vendors we measure, sorted by how much they publish that Watershed does not. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 27 that differ from Watershed on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
Watershed has 8 gaps in what we could measure: Data processing agreement, Subprocessor list, Data location stated, Status page with history, Public pricing, Certifications named, Uptime SLA with a figure, No third-party tracking before consent. The column “publishes and Watershed does not” is the one that closes them.
