You're In Business

Guardian DLP addresses a highly relevant problem in the healthcare sector (PHI protection and HIPAA compliance) using a modern tech stack and Gemini 2.0 AI for classification. However, the project is in an early deployment phase with a very small user base (50-200 estimated users). A complete lack of verifiable traction metrics, revenue, and active user data significantly limits its current evaluation score.
