Guardian fit considerations

  • Public site does not list pricing or data-residency/hosting regions; procurement should plan for custom commercial terms
  • Mobile platform specifics (iOS/Android) and hardware kiosk requirements are not specified on the overview page
  • Public site does not publish standard pricing or explicit platform hosting regions, so total cost and data residency details will be part of procurement discussions
  • Breadth and coverage of prebuilt connectors against your existing systems
  • Scope and cost of migration services and ongoing support

SecurePoint Visitor fit considerations

  • Clarify hosting region and SLA/security controls if your organization has strict data residency requirements
  • Assess badge/hardware compatibility with on-site printers and kiosks
  • Validate evidence export formats meet assessor/C3PAO expectations
  • Which existing workplace, identity, messaging, or access systems should this connect with?
  • Which plan structure best matches your number of locations, visitor volume, and rollout timeline?
