My company does not use Google Search Console due to security reason, so what is the alternative option for GSC?

If we don't use GSC, how am I supposed to submit Sitemap and find Search Queries?

You can focus to rank on Bing probably?

Security? First and foremost you don't need to submit a sitemap for Google John mu also stated it's not a requirement. Google will scan the website anyway and since the website is on the web how is security the question. There isn't anything on a sitemap that creates a vulnerability that cannot be found without a site: search... I'm thinking this is more in line with something that google has issues with such as spam, porn, forex, gambling, Viagra, cannabis, or CBD, escorts or something that is against google guidelines.

I'd love to hear what the security reasons might be? Google has access to your whole site anyhow so not sure what the concern is.

This was posted in another group. What's the security threat? If your site is indexed it has a Google Search Console. If you don't get access you're just not verified.
