Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Grip Security yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment and per category, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated Grip Security across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Fourteen models, six prompts per category.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Wing and Grip are frequently highlighted as the top value and discovery picks for mid-market B2B companies” Mistral Small · SSPM · direct prompt · first choice

“I would recommend Grip Security if your biggest need is discovering and controlling *shadow SaaS*” Perplexity Sonar · SSPM · paraphrase prompt · first choice

“I'd recommend shortlisting 2–3 vendors (e.g., CrowdStrike Falcon Shield, AppOmni, and Grip)” DeepSeek V4 Flash · SSPM · scale prompt · first choice

“Grip is the strongest candidate from the results” Perplexity Sonar · SSPM · budget prompt · first choice

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“The caveat is "skip if you only need a lightweight app inventory, your identity source is not trusted, or no team owns follow-up on risky apps” Muse Glimmer 30B · SSPM · negative prompt · soft negative

“No analysis or remediation for sensitive data exposure, lacks deep configuration management, and minimal to no ITDR capabilities.” Claude Haiku 4.5 · SSPM · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Grip Security. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 83 of the 85 answers that named Grip Security and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page grip.security exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person. Read October 5, 2026.

Names read as Grip Security

What the judge wrote, as written, with how often. The vendor table decides that these count as Grip Security; a claim can dispute any of them.

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Grip Security's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Grip Security, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for Grip Security by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

where Grip Security is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
who was chosen in the answers that did not name Grip Security, and every reason the record gives;
a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.

Badges

Wins only: a badge exists where Grip Security is ranked in a category's top three this edition. Three sizes, one file each, light and dark; the code is under each.
