 RATING SYSTEM

The OnlineSecurity Certification Program mandate is to cut through the clutter and give the executive or professional a no nonsense rating on the real world usability of various security related products and services. Our technicians and business professionals will have reviewed and tested various applications, devices and services and post their rating on the OnlineSecurity Certification Area. This free service assists corporate managers and the legal profession in making the right choice when deploying a service or product.

You can find additional ratings on the site for devices such as authentication systems and firewalls as well as services such as remote storage and encryption systems.

Ratings take into account more than just the technical capabilities of a particular product or service, also reviewed is the usability and business logic for the particular device or service. The following ten criteria are used to rate each item:

  Technical Capabilities.
  Ease of Use.
  Cost/Cost Benefit Ratio.
  Ease of Installation/Maintenance.
  Compatibility.
  Design.
  Scalability.
  Availability.
  End User Learning Curve.
  Market Strength.

Rated products receive a rating of one through ten based on the score achieved in the rating of the above ten criteria. Each criteria is weighed as a 'pass' or 'fail' for one point each. Our Zero Tolerance pass or fail grade will compliment the high standards which OnlineSecurity strives.
