Alternatives to Pole Star
Other Maritime and port operations vendors we measure, sorted by how much they publish that Pole Star does not. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 21 that differ from Pole Star on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
Pole Star has 12 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, HTTPS enforced with HSTS, No third-party tracking before consent, security.txt (RFC 9116), Notice before subprocessors change, Named privacy contact. The column “publishes and Pole Star does not” is the one that closes them.
