Sourced public facts, grouped by the twelve letters, and a machine-check FOUND score. Facts are what the source says; the score is what our code could see.
FOUND Score v1.0 · read 3 Nov 2026 · Medium confidence
Medium confidence: 59% of the points rest on evidence we read ourselves (the site, listing pages, awarders' lists, filings, X data, answer samples); the rest was found by live search or estimated, and is labelled so.
Change since the previous read: none. Read from public evidence; not a judgement of the company.
Last refreshed 3 Nov 2026. Stale after 14 days.

Fix list for CrowdStrike: the 4 biggest gaps first
The parts of the score furthest below what the method lets them reach, worked out from the evidence shown on this page. Each says what to do and why it moves the score. “Up to” is the most the overall score could rise if that part reached full; it is not a forecast.
Security and trust published · Distinctions
8.3 of 25 points now · up to +3 overall
Do this: Publish /.well-known/security.txt, a trust or security page, and name your certifications (for example SOC 2 or ISO 27001) on it.
Why it moves the score: Security and trust published is worth 25 points of Distinctions, read on your site; each check that passes adds its share.
Now: 33% of the security.txt, trust page and named certifications checks pass on the site. Checks to fix: Security or trust page, open without login (not found), Certifications named (not found).

Searched 19 Oct 2026, each line tied by Google Search to the review site's own listing page. Our crawler then opens each listing page where the site allows it (robots.txt obeyed, no login, no bot check worked around): a rating read on the page counts in full and replaces the search figure; one only from search counts 0.9 and is marked “from search, page not read”. Business-software sites count fully; consumer sites such as Trustpilot count 0.4. Capterra, GetApp and Software Advice share one pool of reviews and count once. In this read the review part scored 37 of 50.

CRN Partner Program Guide 5-Star, security vendors 2026
A listing is read on the awarder’s own page and is not verified by a person, so it counts at most 1 of 5 for Authority (2 for Authenticity, review-based only). “Not found” may mean not seen: most programmes need an entry, and some pages are built by script. Not finding a company never lowers its score. How each programme works is on the awards page; the method is on the score page.
