How we write our guides
Our guides are published by the TrustSek editorial team. This page explains what we hold them to, so you can judge how much to rely on them.
Last reviewed
Every claim has a primary source.
A guide about DMARC cites the DMARC RFC; a guide about NIS2 or DORA cites the legal text on EUR-Lex, and the Swedish law on riksdagen.se. Each guide lists its sources at the end, and we prefer the original standard or regulation over articles about it. Where we describe another company's product, as on the comparison pages, we quote its own public pages and date the description.
Product facts come from the product.
Weights, severities, finding names, thresholds and limits are copied from the TrustSek scanner's own code into one place on this site, not typed into each text, so a product change is updated everywhere at once. Where the product does something narrower than it might sound, the guide says so: the limits sections are part of the guide, not small print.
No invented numbers or customers.
We do not publish statistics we cannot trace to a source, and there are no testimonials, customer logos or user counts on this site. We do not describe features as available before they are.
Every guide has a review date.
The "Last reviewed" date on each guide is the last time it was checked against its sources and the product. Standards and laws change; when one does, we update the guide and the date, rather than leaving the old text in place.
We do not name individual authors yet.
Guides are published under the editorial team rather than personal bylines. When we add named authors, their names and backgrounds will appear on each guide and on this page.
Corrections.
If you find a mistake, or a guide that no longer matches a standard or the product, write to support@trustsek.com. We correct errors and update the review date; significant corrections are noted in the guide.
