Editorial assessment for Grammarly Business and Writer
Assessment	Grammarly Business	Writer
Reading the vendor's wording	The vendor states that data is encrypted in transit and at rest, that transfer uses TLS 1.2 and storage uses AES-256, and that its SOC 2 Type 2 report covers security, privacy, availability, and confidentiality. It does not publish a training statement in the checked source.	The vendor states plainly that it does not train its models on customer data, inputs, or outputs, and that data is encrypted at rest and in transit in an isolated production project. It also holds SOC 2 Type II and several ISO certifications. This is one of the most direct no-training statements among the general assistants.
What adopting it costs	It is a writing assistant rather than a system of record, so adopting it does not replace matter management. The switching cost is the firm's own usage policy for what may be pasted into it.	It is a writing and content platform rather than a system of record, so adopting it does not replace matter management. The switching cost is the firm's usage policy rather than a data migration.
Closest alternative	Writer — The closest writing platform. This one corrects writing; Writer produces content. Both are not legal-specific.	Grammarly Business — The closest writing tool. This one produces content; Grammarly corrects it. Both are not legal-specific.
