IdentityAccounts.com uses a transparent 100 point scoring model so readers understand why a provider ranks higher or lower. The score combines five weighted dimensions: use case fit (25%), compliance posture (20%), security and data handling (20%), transparency of pricing and capabilities (15%), and overall reliability and support quality (20%). Each dimension is scored from 0 to 100 based on publicly available product documentation, regulatory disclosures, and the provider's own claims, which are cross-checked where possible against independent sources.
Scores are reviewed periodically and updated when a provider materially changes its product, pricing, or compliance certifications. Where a provider's claims cannot be independently verified, this is noted in the relevant review rather than reflected as a higher score.
