Editorial Policy & Corrections
Transparency notice: Netify earns commissions for introductions made via our marketplace. This funding supports our research but never dictates our editorial conclusions.
Scope & transparency: Netify is not a network/security service provider and does not certify compliance. We translate common requirements (e.g., NHS DSPT, HIPAA, clinical safety expectations) into procurement questions and require suppliers to evidence their claims. Final compliance decisions remain with the buyer and their appointed advisors.
Our role
Netify Insights is an editorial publication operated by Netify. Netify is an intermediary marketplace and does not provide SD-WAN/SASE services, does not resell services, and does not certify compliance. Buyers contract directly with suppliers.
How we fund the publication
Netify may earn commissions for introductions made via the marketplace. Our publication is also supported by professional subscriptions. Funding does not influence editorial conclusions or marketplace scoring.
Independence & conflicts of interest
- No pay-to-play rankings or marketplace placement
- No sponsored content unless explicitly labelled "Sponsored"
- Authors must disclose any relevant relationships
- Commercial partnerships cannot pre-approve editorial conclusions
- Editorial team can publish unfavourable findings
Sources & evidence standard
We prefer primary sources including vendor documentation, standards bodies, and regulators. We clearly cite these sources within our articles.
Our methodology distinguishes between verified public sources, supplier statements, and editorial opinion. For any framework references (e.g. DSPT or HIPAA): We provide framework-aligned discussion and questions; we do not provide legal or compliance advice.
Reviews & updates
We maintain a quarterly review cadence for evergreen guides to ensure technical and regulatory accuracy. Major articles include a "Last reviewed" label. If a material change is made to an article, we append a change log note to the bottom of the content.
Corrections
If you spot an error, please report it via support@netify.co.uk or via the form below. We acknowledge reports within 48 hours, review the evidence, and issue corrections with a visible note if the error was material.

Research and Methodology at Netify.
Vendor Scoring Framework.
Netify ranks providers using verified engineering data. We combine latency metrics, security validation and commercial benchmarking to calculate the Netify Score.
The Netify Score™
A generic rating is useless for specific projects. We calculate unique suitability scores derived from three primary data clusters.
Technical Fit (40%)
Network physics: PoP density, backbone throughput, packet loss guarantees and protocol optimisation.
Security Stack (35%)
SASE components: ZTNA, SWG, CASB and FWaaS integration levels. Native vs third-party partnerships.
Commercial Value (25%)
Total Cost of Ownership analysis. Licensing benchmarks and hidden costs like support tiers.
Sector Specific Weighting
A vendor ranked as a Leader for Retail may rank as a Challenger for Finance. Our algorithm adjusts weighting based on six industry compliance models.
Financial Services
PoP density in trading hubs. FCA alignment and data residency controls.
Healthcare
Medical device segmentation. NHS DSP Toolkit and HIPAA compliance.
Retail
4G/5G failover for EPOS continuity. Native PCI DSS compliance.
Manufacturing
APAC production reach without public internet loss. OT security mandatory.
Legal
Granular DLP rules with file transfer restrictions by matter codes.
Logistics
