Common questions
Guardian360 vs Wiz, answered
Is Guardian360 an alternative to Wiz?
No, they are complementary. Cloud and container scanning is on our roadmap rather than shipping today, and Wiz sets the standard there. Guardian360 Lighthouse covers the rest of the organisation, the offices, users, websites and Microsoft 365, and maps findings to frameworks including the Dutch norms.
What is the main difference?
Wiz sees what runs inside the cloud accounts. Lighthouse reads the whole organisation around them and translates every finding into business risk and compliance evidence across 25+ frameworks, hosted entirely in the EU.
