Who wrote it

Jared DeGraffenried, Guardian Plus. The guide says what the product does and does not do — including the limits: not SOC 2 certified, encryption that is not zero-knowledge, no bulk documentation importer yet.

Before you type your email

What arrives, and when?
The PDF and a link to the web version within a minute, then five short notes from Jared over about two weeks — the sharpest proof behind this guide, the objection its readers usually have, the two-minute Stack Seams Score, one more guide that fits your role, and one honest note on when Guardian Plus is not your answer. One click stops them.
Who is this written for?
The person who has to answer the firewall change request — the network engineer, the security lead, the MSP technician placing a management plane inside a client's segmented network.
Is it a sales document?
No. Every claim in it is on this site or in the product documentation, and where our own answer is a no, the guide says so. Comparison charts are written by whoever wins them; this is the list of questions instead.
