Stop Assuming Your Team Is A Liability
Teramind's Data Loss Prevention approach assumes your developers are theft risks. It monitors every file accessed, every website visited, every email attachment. This security theater doesn't prevent theft—it damages trust. Shipanel assumes your team is trustworthy. Monitor what they ship, not what they might steal.

Why Teams Leave Teramind
Teramind's DLP mindset creates more problems than it solves for startup teams:
Problem 01
Security Theater That Doesn't Prevent Actual Theft
Teramind monitors file access, websites, emails, clipboard activity—assuming your team might be stealing secrets. This isn't based on risk assessment; it's just baseline paranoia. The irony: determined bad actors find ways around DLP. What you're actually doing is surveilling people you hired and presumably trust.
"We implemented Teramind based on 'best practices' security advice. Then realized: we're investigating people we explicitly hired because we trust them."
— Chris H., Startup Founder
Problem 02
Kills Developer Productivity
DLP monitoring slows everything down. Every file copy is monitored. Every download tracked. Developers can't work efficiently because they're waiting for security checks. Legitimate work—copying code examples, sharing documentation—becomes friction.
"Developers complained about Teramind slowing down their work. Turns out the monitoring system was creating more friction than value."
— Nina R., Technical Founder
Problem 03
Premium Pricing For Paranoia
Teramind charges enterprise prices for DLP monitoring. You're paying thousands per year for a surveillance tool that probably isn't preventing anything (determined attackers bypass it anyway) but definitely is degrading your team's productivity.
"Teramind's cost + implementation time + ongoing administration meant we needed a dedicated security person. For a 10-person startup, that's a huge waste."
— Michael T., CEO

Monthly cost for security theater
How Shipanel Solves This
Shipanel inverts Teramind's approach. Assume your team is trustworthy. Monitor output, not paranoia.
Trust-Based Monitoring Philosophy
Shipanel assumes your team is trustworthy (which is why you hired them). We monitor shipping output, not assumed bad behavior. This is healthier for team culture and actually more effective than DLP theater.
Zero DLP Friction
No file access monitoring. No clipboard tracking. No email surveillance. Developers work at full speed. Shipping acceleration is better than security theater.
Startup-Realistic Pricing
$29/month for unlimited team monitoring. Not $3000/month for DLP paranoia. This is what you actually need at this stage.

Teams Who Made the Switch
Founders who've moved from DLP paranoia to trust-based monitoring:
Chris H.
Startup Founder, 8-person team
"Teramind made me feel like I needed to spy on my team. Shipanel made me feel like I can trust them while still having visibility. Completely different culture."
Team culture improved. Security concerns disappeared (they were false positives anyway).
Nina R.
Technical Founder, remote team
"Teramind's friction was creating resentment. Switching to Shipanel freed developers to work at full speed. We actually ship faster now."
Faster shipping with better team dynamics
Michael T.
CEO, scaling startup
"We were paying $3K/month for DLP monitoring that wasn't preventing anything. Switched to Shipanel at $29/month. Better visibility into actual shipping."

Questions About Switching
Questions about moving from DLP to trust-based monitoring:
Your question
answered
Shipanel's security is in what it doesn't do. No unencrypted data storage. No file access monitoring. GitHub OAuth is secure. For actual secrets, use GitHub secrets management—don't use monitoring tools as security theater.
If you're regulated (fintech, healthcare), you might need specific compliance monitoring. But most startups implement DLP based on paranoia, not actual requirements. If you genuinely need it, use a specialized DLP tool. But don't assume you need it.
No. Neither can Teramind, really. Determined attackers bypass DLP tools. What Shipanel does is enable trust-based culture where theft is less likely because team morale is better.
