Strict company scope for multi-client support portals
Use strict company scoping on a customer portal when you serve multiple clients, so each account only sees its own threads and request history.
Why this can grow a startup
A public-facing support surface only builds trust if buyers believe it is safe. Strict account scoping turns the portal from a convenience feature into a serious B2B surface, because customers can check status and reply without worrying that another client might see the same thread list. That security posture also makes the portal easier to link from onboarding, support replies, and roadmap updates.
Company example
Productlane's support portal docs recommend Strict company scope for multi-client workspaces and say it guarantees one client cannot see another client's data.

When to use it
Use this when Support, Website, Customer Success is relevant to brand trust, b2b onboarding, support ops and you can run a bounded test with a free budget.
When not to use it
Do not use it as a substitute for customer evidence, a clear owner, or a measurable stop condition. Local platform rules and market behavior still need checking.
