ShieldAI vs Manual Spreadsheets
ShieldAI replaces the spreadsheet chaos with an auditable, automated workflow
| Feature | ShieldAI ($499/mo) | Manual Spreadsheets (Free (until breach)) |
|---|---|---|
| Audit trail | Full | None |
| Risk scoring | Automated | Manual |
| Approval workflows | Multi-team | Email chains |
| Vendor monitoring | Continuous | None |
| Employee portal | Branded | Ad hoc |
| Compliance frameworks | 6+ built-in | DIY |
| Time to review | Hours | Weeks |
| Regulator-ready | Yes | No |
Where Manual Spreadsheets falls short
- No audit trail — regulators won't accept a shared Google Sheet
- No automated risk scoring — every review is manual and inconsistent
- No workflow routing — approvals happen over email with no tracking
- No vendor monitoring — you only know about problems after an incident
- Doesn't scale — works for 5 tools, breaks at 50
- No employee-facing portal — requests come in via Slack, email, hallway conversations
