We sell reputation defense. We also publish reviews of the firms and tools you would buy instead of us. That is a conflict of interest, so the only honest way to run it is to publish the rules and let you check our work.
We open the vendor’s pricing page, record the tier names and numbers exactly as published, save the URL, and stamp the date we read it on the review. When a vendor does not publish a rate card we say so and print no number, because a made-up figure is worse than an absent one.
Reputation agencies almost never publish prices. Where a credible outside source reports one, we cite that source by name and still mark the vendor as quote-only. You should never see a number on this site without knowing who said it.
A weakness that could be written about any vendor is not a weakness, it is filler. Every entry names something concrete: annual contract minimums, US-only broker coverage, no Outlook option, monitoring without remediation. If we could not find a real limitation we did not publish the review.
This directory catalogues direct competitors, including ones cheaper and faster than us for narrow problems. Every comparison page carries a section arguing the case against hiring us. A directory that only makes its owner look good is an advertisement, and buyers can tell the difference.
We take no commission from any vendor on this site. Outbound vendor links carry rel="nofollow" and earn us nothing. Our only commercial interest is the engagement you might book with us, which is disclosed on every page rather than buried.
Pricing in this category moves. Each review prints the date its pricing was last verified. A review older than its stated verification window should be treated as a historical record, not a current quote.
DefendMyRep is an online reputation management firm. Most vendors in this directory are competitors. We earn nothing when you click through to them and nothing if you buy from them. We earn money only when someone books an engagement with us, and every review carries a visible call to do that. You should read every page here knowing both facts.
If a price is stale, a weakness is wrong, or a vendor has changed materially, write to intel@defendmyrep.com with the source and we will correct the review and update its verification date. Vendors are welcome to submit corrections about themselves. We do not remove accurate criticism on request.
We will tell you which one covers your surface, including the times the answer is a vendor on this page and not us.
