Affiliate Disclosure

How CyberTechVault makes money

CyberTechVault is a free resource. We fund our testing infrastructure, server costs, and editorial work through affiliate commissions. When you click a link on this site and purchase a product or subscription, we may receive a small commission from the merchant. You pay the same price either way — sometimes less, if a promotional discount is bundled with our link.

What this means for our reviews

• We never accept payment to publish a positive review.
• Merchants cannot pay for better rankings or higher scores.
• Our testing methodology is published and reproducible.
• We recommend free options (such as Microsoft Defender) when they're genuinely the best fit.
• We publish negative findings about products we earn commissions from.

FTC compliance

In accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255), we disclose that CyberTechVault receives compensation from companies whose products are featured on this website. Our editorial opinions are our own and are based on independent, hands-on testing.

Norwegian Marketing Control Act compliance

In accordance with the Norwegian Marketing Control Act (markedsføringsloven) §3, we disclose that this website contains commercial content. Links to merchants are clearly marked. The Norwegian Consumer Authority (Forbrukertilsynet) requires identification of advertising; this page satisfies that requirement.

Affiliate link markup

All affiliate links on CyberTechVault use rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" and open in a new tab. They are also tagged with a data-affiliate attribute for our internal click reporting.
