Adaptive Trust Framework
Continuous verification using behavioral biometrics and contextual signals—not just login checks. Catches threats SecurityFirst would miss while being faster than TalentGuard.
Unified Security + People Operations
Single platform for identity, zero-trust security, and HR automation. No integration tax like TalentGuard + security tool stacks. No HR gaps like SecurityFirst.
Predictive Risk Intelligence
ML models predict access risks before incidents occur. Instant provisioning with progressive access—immediate productivity without security compromise.
"SecurityFirst has better security capabilities"
Fair point—SecurityFirst has deep threat detection built over 15 years. However, most security incidents today stem from identity issues during onboarding/offboarding, where their 24-48 hour provisioning creates risk gaps. ZeroShield provides continuous security through adaptive trust, catching threats SecurityFirst would miss while eliminating manual delays. We're not choosing between security and speed—we deliver both.
"TalentGuard is simpler and more HR-friendly"
TalentGuard absolutely excels at HR-driven access management, and we share that philosophy. Where we differentiate is depth. TalentGuard handles the happy path beautifully, but when you need advanced threat detection, zero-trust architecture, or complex compliance requirements, you'll layer on additional security tools. ZeroShield gives you that unified experience—HR-friendly AND security-grade—without the integration tax.
Positioning Framework
SecurityFirst: "Protect infrastructure" (reactive)
