Quantifying Trust
in a Digital World
We believe everyone deserves to know, and control, how they are perceived online. Reputation Scorecard gives you the tools to measure, understand, and improve your digital standing.
Every professional deserves reputation clarity
Your digital reputation affects whether you get hired, promoted, trusted with clients, or considered for board positions. Yet most people have no idea what their digital footprint actually says about them.
We are changing that. Reputation Scorecard aggregates, analyses, and scores your digital presence across 8 evidence-backed pillars, giving you the same level of objective insight that credit bureaus give lenders, but for professional trust.
One number. Eight pillars. Every piece of evidence traceable. Designed not just to measure your reputation, but to help you strengthen it.
“We built the tool we wished existed when we were advising CISOs on their digital footprint during job transitions and board appointments.”

Founder & CEO, Reputation Scorecard
Born from cybersecurity
Reputation Scorecard was founded by cybersecurity professionals who spent years assessing risk for the world's most security-conscious organisations. They realised personal reputation was the most under-measured risk of all.
No way to measure reputation
Working in cybersecurity and digital risk, our founder saw that there was no objective, systematic way to assess a professional's digital reputation. Background checks covered criminal records but missed the modern digital signal entirely.
8 pillars of reputation
Extensive research with professionals, HR directors, and board members. We built the 8-pillar framework grounded in academic reputation theory and real hiring decision data.
Built on EU infrastructure
Built entirely on EU-hosted infrastructure in Frankfurt for data sovereignty. Every feature shaped by real user feedback and designed with GDPR compliance from the ground up.
What we stand for
Four principles guide every product decision, every algorithm, every line of code.
Transparency
Every score is explainable. You can see exactly which evidence drives each component of your reputation. No black boxes, no mystery scores.
Privacy-First
Your data is yours. We collect only what you consent to, store it in Frankfurt under EU law, and give you full deletion rights at any time.
Evidence-Based
We make no subjective judgements. Scores are derived exclusively from verifiable digital evidence, processed by objective algorithms.
Accessibility
Reputation intelligence should not be reserved for those who can afford PR firms. Free score, free tools, free guides, a nonprofit programme, and community mentoring ensure every professional has access at every career stage.

GDPR is not a checkbox : it is our foundation
Most US-headquartered platforms treat GDPR as a compliance burden. We are an EU-first company that treats GDPR as a design specification. Every feature is built with data minimisation, purpose limitation, and your rights baked in from day one.
Your personal data never leaves Frankfurt. We use EU-hosted infrastructure exclusively, with no cross-border data transfers to US-controlled processors without full GDPR-compliant data processing agreements.
