Trust signal log
  • 2021-10-12
    Orca reached $1.8B valuation in late 2021 funding round
    Multi-year funding history positioned Orca as the credible agentless challenger to Wiz; the company has maintained independent operation through the CNAPP consolidation cycle.
  • 2023-06-20
    Patent litigation activity with Wiz on agentless IP
    Orca has previously asserted SideScanning patent priority publicly; the resolution and ongoing competitive dynamic is a buyer-relevant factor.
  • 2025-03-10
    Continued independent operation through CNAPP consolidation
    Orca has neither been acquired nor announced IPO timing as of 2025; buyers should weigh runway versus consolidation risk in multi-year deals.
Vendor Trust is scored independently of product quality. A great product from an unfair vendor still earns a low trust score.

How to read this score

  • Trust is separate from product quality. A vendor can ship great software and treat customers badly — or vice versa. We score the two independently.
  • 8.0+/10: strong. Few concerns at renewal or procurement.
  • 6.5–7.9: mixed. Negotiate hard on the lowest dimensions; monitor across the contract term.
  • 5.0–6.4: cautious. Add explicit mitigation language to the master agreement.
  • Below 5.0: concerning. Treat this as a contracted-risk evaluation, not a product-fit evaluation.
  • Updates: we re-verify scoring quarterly. Material trust events (acquisitions, breaches, leadership change, hostile contract terms) get logged on the timeline above.
