Comparison

cside vs DIY CSP + SRI

cside

Depends
Confidence: Medium

Buy if you run payment pages or heavy third-party scripts and need PCI DSS 6.4.3/11.6.1 evidence . the permanent free tier makes trying it nearly free.

Pick cside when

  • E-commerce and payment pages
  • PCI DSS 4.0.1 (6.4.3/11.6.1) compliance
  • Sites with many third-party scripts
  • Fraud and account-takeover exposure

When cside is not a fit

  • Static sites with no payments or third-party scripts
  • Buyers wanting full AppSec or vendor-risk coverage . browser layer only
  • Risk-averse enterprises needing a large, proven vendor . this is a 23-person startup
  • Anyone who only needs a one-time script audit, not ongoing monitoring
