Is Reputation Scorecard Legit?
Short answer: yes.
Founded in 2024 by a cybersecurity professional. UK-registered. ICO data controller registration. EU-hosted in Frankfurt. GDPR-native by design. Here is every piece of evidence.
Reputation Scorecard is legitimate. Here is why we are confident saying that.
We are a real company, with real registration numbers, real GDPR obligations, and a real founder whose name and LinkedIn profile are public. We do not hide behind anonymity.
More importantly: your first reputation score is free. You do not pay a single penny before you see exactly what our tool does and whether it works for you. That is the strongest proof of legitimacy we can offer.
If you are still not satisfied after paying, the 14-day money-back guarantee covers you. We have skin in the game. A scam product does not offer a full refund.

EU-hosted in Frankfurt
All data is stored and processed in AWS eu-central-1 (Frankfurt, Germany). No data leaves the EU. This is not a marketing claim: it is an architectural constraint enforced at the infrastructure level.

GDPR Article 25 by design
GDPR is not a bolt-on. Every feature is built with data minimisation, purpose limitation, and your rights (access, rectification, erasure, portability) enforced from day one. We do not wait for a complaint to act on a GDPR request.
GDPR Articles 17, 20, 25 enforced
Public scan data only
We only analyse information that is already publicly visible on the internet. We never access private accounts, messages, or documents. We collect no data you have not already made public.
Zero access to private accounts
