Transparency alternatives to Protocols.io
Other Research administration vendors we measure, sorted by how much we found at them and not at Protocols.io. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 26 that differ from Protocols.io on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
Protocols.io has 8 gaps in what we could measure: Data processing agreement, Subprocessor list, Status page with history, Certifications named, Uptime SLA with a figure, No third-party tracking before consent, security.txt (RFC 9116), Notice before subprocessors change. The column “Found there, not found at Protocols.io” is the one that closes them.
