Transparency alternatives to Guardsquare
Other Mobile application security vendors we measure, sorted by how much they publish that Guardsquare does not. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
5 shown of 5 that differ from Guardsquare on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
Guardsquare has 6 gaps in what we could measure: Subprocessor list, Status page with history, Public pricing, Uptime SLA with a figure, No third-party tracking before consent, Notice before subprocessors change. The column “publishes and Guardsquare does not” 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.
