How We Make Money

Clarity is a key tenet of our business, so we believe in being fully transparent.

Expert Insights is a privately owned company led by founder and CEO Craig MacAlpine. Our analyst team and business unit are run independently in order to ensure integrity.

Our revenue comes from advertising partnerships with cybersecurity vendors. But this does not in any way effect our impartiality.

We only allow select, qualifying vendors to sponsor shortlists. Sponsored listings are clearly marked. Their status as a sponsor does not exempt their products from equal levels of scrutiny. On the contrary, advertisers must submit to a robust onboarding process to ensure their solutions are effective, secure and credible.

We will never allow a poor solution to advertise on our site.

In supporting Expert Insights, our advertisers are committing to support quality content unbiased, expert assessments and integrity in the cybersecurity market.
