A note on confidentiality

Every profile on this page is drawn from a real screening run. Because the publishers shown are independent sites, we follow standard confidentiality practice on public pages: domains are withheld and descriptions generalized. The published profiles are therefore intentionally not traceable to the sites — including through a web search — which protects them without diminishing the underlying data. Pilot and client deliverables contain the actual domains with every signal, so everything can be verified directly. Start with a free pilot →

The five advertiser ICPs for this vertical

Each ICP is written from the advertiser's vetting logic — what that client actually checks before approving a partner site — and expressed as required, preferred and disqualifying signals from this industry's catalog.

VPN providers

VPN programs are review-driven and rankings-savvy: they vet whether a reviewer runs their own speed and leak tests and re-tests on a cadence, because stale numbers get called out publicly. Jurisdiction literacy separates serious reviewers from coupon farms.

Requires: vpn testing · retest cadence
Prefers: jurisdiction analysis · comparison tables
Never: is security vendor · fearmongering
Antivirus suites

Consumer AV sells to worried non-experts. Partners want testers who translate detection results into plain language for families — and they refuse fear-based marketing, which triggers chargebacks and complaints.

Requires: av testing · nontechnical tone
Prefers: comparison tables · threat news · retest cadence
Never: is security vendor · fearmongering
Password managers

Password managers convert at the moment someone finally decides to fix their credentials — usually after a breach headline. They recruit publishers pairing breach coverage with patient setup and migration guides.

Requires: password guides · howto hardening
Prefers: threat news · nontechnical tone
Never: is security vendor
Identity protection services

Identity services need publishers who cover real breach fallout and walk readers through exposure checks — practical, calm, checklist-driven. Their compliance teams reject scare-based framing outright.

Requires: identity protection · threat news · nontechnical tone
Prefers: howto hardening
Never: fearmongering · is security vendor
Secure cloud storage

Encrypted-storage brands target privacy-motivated switchers leaving mainstream ecosystems. They vet for publishers covering privacy-first alternatives as a beat, with migration how-tos that reduce switching friction.

Requires: cloud privacy · howto hardening
Prefers: jurisdiction analysis · comparison tables · nontechnical tone
Never: is security vendor
