This page outlines how we handle advertising on Endpoint Club and the principles that keep commercial interests from crossing into our editorial work. We believe our readers deserve clarity on these boundaries.
Our position on advertising
Endpoint Club does not accept sponsored posts, advertorials, or paid product placements. We do not publish content written by or on behalf of vendors, and we do not offer paid inclusion in our reviews or comparison articles. In the security space, the line between editorial and advertising must be absolute.
Why we work this way
Trust is not a renewable resource in security journalism. Once a reader suspects that a recommendation was purchased rather than earned, every subsequent review is compromised by that doubt. Our editorial process is built on independent testing and honest reporting, and we will not introduce a revenue stream that undermines either.
Vendor outreach
When we cover a product, we initiate that process ourselves based on editorial relevance and reader demand. We do not accept unsolicited requests for reviews in exchange for payment or other consideration. If you represent a vendor and believe your platform belongs in one of our categories, you are welcome to reach out, but inclusion is never guaranteed and is always determined by our editorial team.
