Governance Readiness

Metric ChatGPT DeepSeek
Governance Readiness Score 89/100 35/100 ◀

Scores are computed deterministically from cited, official-source evidence only. See our methodology. A “✕” below means no cited evidence is on file — not proof the vendor lacks the certification.

Why the 54-point gap?

The difference between the scores is driven by these factors:

  • Independent Certification ChatGPT: +25, DeepSeek: +0
  • Customer-Data Training ChatGPT: +15, DeepSeek: +0
  • Data Processing Agreement ChatGPT: +10, DeepSeek: +0
  • Vulnerability Disclosure Policy ChatGPT: +4, DeepSeek: +0

All Scoring Components

Here's how each of the 10 components that feed the governance score compares between the tools. Points shown as earned / maximum possible.

Certifications & Compliance

Certification / Evidence ChatGPT DeepSeek
Independent 3rd-Party Audit ✓ Independently verified ✕ No evidence on file ◀
SOC 2 ⓘ Attested, report not publicvia Trust Center or vendor-stated only ✕ No evidence on file ◀
ISO 27001 ✓ Independently verified ✕ No evidence on file ◀
GDPR ⓘ Attested, report not publicvia Trust Center or vendor-stated only ✕ No evidence on file ◀
HIPAA ⓘ Attested, report not publicvia Trust Center or vendor-stated only ⓘ Attested, report not publicvia Trust Center or vendor-stated only =

✓ Independently verified — an independent auditor's report is publicly available.  ·  ⓘ Attested, report not public — the vendor claims this cert in its Trust Center, but the full audit report (and named auditor) is gated behind an NDA request — not a finding that the cert doesn't exist. Request the underlying report before relying on it.  ·  ✕ No evidence on file — not proof the vendor lacks it; evidence simply wasn't found.
