Kanary vs Soryx

Kanary is a digital and physical attack surface management platform for individuals. It creates a risk model for each person, searches for personal data exposures, and provides intelligence intended for audit and response. Its scans cover data brokers, search engines, social media, and AI/LLM sources using searches modeled on attacker behavior. Automated operations include scans, removal requests, escalation emails, regulator complaints, and audits and fixes for account security settings. Reports include screenshots and direct links to listings, with monthly email reports and on-demand PDF or API reporting. Team accounts support SSO for Okta, Entra, and Google, plus API access for security and reporting integrations. Kanary says it is GDPR, NIST CSF 2.0, and SOC 2 compliant, and that it never sells, shares, or discloses personal information. Core costs $25 a month for U.S. residents, but its managed scans cover only a subset of top sites, not all sites, social media, or LLMs. Advanced costs $50 a month and lists full-coverage monitoring with social media and LLM coverage.

Soryx is a web service for finding, monitoring, and removing exposed personal information in data brokers, breach datasets, and the surface web. It sends formal erasure requests under GDPR Article 17 and tracks them through confirmation. On the Free plan, it will not remove information without the user's approval. Soryx schedules repeat scans and can automatically file another request if data is listed again. Its coverage includes EU, UK, and Irish brokers as well as major global people-search and sales-intelligence firms; the company says its catalogue grows weekly. Plans are offered for individuals, households, and businesses. Free includes a limited broker scan, three erasure filings, manual removal guides, and one persona. Individual costs €129.90 billed once a year, while Individual Premium costs €249.90 billed once a year; Family costs €499.90 billed once a year and supports up to five personas. Business pricing is tailored to the team. Soryx says it encrypts data in transit and at rest, and hosts its systems, database, and backups in Ireland. Its optional AI assistant is an exception, calling Anthropic under EU Standard Contractual Clauses with zero data retention.
