When DataGuard is the Right Choice

DataGuard is the ideal choice for companies that need to professionalize their **Data Privacy Officer (DPO)** functions. If your primary goal is to manage GDPR documentation, Subject Access Requests (DSARs), and legal compliance audits without needing deep technical infrastructure scanning, DataGuard’s hybrid software-consultancy approach is excellent.

When Guardian360 is the Right Choice

Choose Guardian360 if you need to **secure the technical infrastructure** that holds the data. While DataGuard tells you *what* the law requires, Guardian360 tells you *where* your network is weak. We provide the technical evidence (vulnerability scans, honeypots, and M365 audits) that proves your security controls are actually working.

Legal vs. Technical

Think of DataGuard as your legal counsel for privacy and Guardian360 as your technical security officer. They are highly complementary: DataGuard creates the framework, and Guardian360 provides the technical verification to ensure that framework isn't bypassed by a hacker.
