Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The submission for 'bladestack.io' contains significant anomalies, utilizing a generic spam/template alias ('DeepStorm') and factually incorrect claims ('most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone'). However, independent verification confirms Bladestack.io is a legitimate, functioning cybersecurity consultancy based in McLean, VA. It is a recognized FedRAMP 3PAO (Third Party Assessment Organization) with valid partnerships (e.g., Schellman). The score reflects the legitimate real-world utility of their federal compliance services, severely penalized by the low-quality, inaccurate, and likely automated submission data.

Description
bladestack.io brings cloud expertise, technology and innovative approaches which empower your organization to capitalize on the promise of digital transformation. There isn’t an engineering or development team anywhere on earth that gets excited about an outside compliance team telling them how to build. Neither do we. Instead, our cyber-samurai's embed with your engineering and development teams. We understand why they work the way they do. And we help them appreciate the technical security reasons that underpin the more stringent compliance requirements. Eventually, even the most compliance-weary technical teams quickly learn to trust and respect our guidance as, working together, we chart a course towards a compliant, secure cyber-future.
