When ThreadStone is the Right Choice
ThreadStone is an ideal choice for organizations looking for straightforward vulnerability scanning with predictable costs. Their SMB fixed plans are great for smaller businesses that want a periodic "health check" without the need for deep M365 integration or formal compliance audit reporting.
When Guardian360 is the Right Choice
Choose Guardian360 if you are an MSP/MSSP looking for a partner-exclusive platform. We are the right fit for clients who need to map security findings to formal standards (like ISO 27001) and require active detection (honeypots) to catch hackers in real-time.
Scanning vs. Governance
The core difference is scope. ThreadStone focuses on finding technical vulnerabilities. Guardian360 is a digital governance platform that connects those vulnerabilities to business risks, compliance frameworks, and active threat detection across the entire digital estate.
