About CyberFieldTest

An independent publication about cybersecurity for small and mid-size organisations, and for the IT providers who look after them.

Last updated

What this is

CyberFieldTest publishes comparisons, explainers and guides on the security decisions a small team has to make: how people sign in, how email is protected, how devices are managed, how data is backed up, which rules apply, and what to fix first.

The aim is narrow. Most security buying advice online is written by a vendor, ranks that vendor first, and quotes prices without a date. Each article here starts from the provider's or regulator's own page, links it, and says when it was read.

Who it is for

  • The person at a 5 to 500 person organisation who looks after IT, often alongside another job.
  • Managed service providers and IT consultants choosing tools for their customers.
  • Owners and managers who need to understand a security decision before paying for it.

Who writes it

Articles are published under one organisation byline, CyberFieldTest Editorial. It is not an individual. No named author or named reviewer is listed yet, and this page will say so plainly until that changes. We do not use invented author names, stock or generated portraits, or credentials we cannot show.

AI tools are used in research and drafting. A person reviews each page before it is published. The editorial policy explains both in more detail.

What "field test" means here

The name is a commitment, not a description of every page. An article is labelled Field-tested only when a test was carried out and its logs, screenshots or measurements are published with it. Everything else is labelled Desk research.

As of the latest build, the site holds 6 articles: 0 field-tested and 6 desk research. The methodology sets out what each label covers.

Ownership and funding

CyberFieldTest is independently owned and was founded in 2026. No security vendor owns, funds or controls it. The owner can be reached through the contact page.

The site is funded by its owner. Its planned income is fees for evaluating a product, labelled advertising and edited guest articles, under the rules on the vendor reviews and advertising page. Articles containing a paid placement at present: 0. There are no affiliate links at present.

What we do not do

  • We do not sell a position in a list, a verdict, or the removal of criticism.
  • We do not claim to have tested something we have only read about.
  • We do not review or rank consumer VPN services.
  • We do not give professional security, legal or compliance advice. Articles are general information.
