SecureMac has been publishing Mac-only security software for over two decades, from a period when Mac malware was rare enough that the company's advocacy was as notable as its products. It develops exclusively for macOS rather than porting a Windows engine. Its products are MacScan, the malware and spyware scanner listed here, PrivacyScan for clearing browsing and application traces, and MetaWipe for stripping metadata from files. It also publishes The Checklist, a long-running security podcast, which is a significant part of its public presence. It is a small vendor, and the macOS test cycles the independent laboratories run are smaller and less frequent than the Windows ones, so the evidence available for products in this category is thinner across the board.
