12 shown of 48 that differ from Formester on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
Formester has 10 gaps in what we could measure: Data processing agreement, Subprocessor list, Data location stated, Status page with history, 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 “Found there, not found at Formester” is the one that closes them.
