Risk dimensions side by side
Lower score = lower risk under TrustAtlas's default-balanced weight profile. The greener cell in each row is the lower-risk vendor for that dimension. How scoring works.

Analyst summary
Amazon (AWS)
Amazon Bedrock provides enterprise-grade access to multiple foundation models (Claude, Llama, Titan, Mistral, Cohere, and others) within AWS's compliance perimeter. It inherits the full AWS compliance stack and offers uncapped IP indemnification on select models. Complexity is the cost.
The default enterprise AI layer for AWS-standardized organizations; over-complex if you are not already on AWS.
Google DeepMind
Google's Gemini family on Vertex AI benefits from Google Cloud's mature compliance posture (FedRAMP High, HIPAA, full ISO stack) and strong enterprise data isolation. The consumer Gemini app is a materially different risk profile, and concentration within a single hyperscaler remains a standard trade-off.
A strong enterprise choice on Vertex AI; treat the consumer app as a separate, weaker tier.
