Leading the evolution of security ratings
When we were both CISOs in New York City, we became frustrated with ambiguous cybersecurity KPIs. What kept us up at night as CISOs? The risk of a third-party breach that was out of our control.
Ten years later (and with just a few more gray hairs) our mission is a reality – to transform the way the world measures and manages cyber risk. This mission is validated by the active participation of over 60,000 organizations and the continuous rating of more than 12 million entities globally.
“SecurityScorecard is the only vendor in this evaluation that publishes live metrics about its own response time, findings refute rate, and IP and domain misattribution rates — a boon for trust and transparency.”
– The Forrester Wave™: Cybersecurity Risk Ratings Platforms, Q2 2024
SecurityScorecard continues to set the pace for the industry – redefining cyber risk quantification, board reporting, cyber insurance underwriting, and supply chain cybersecurity for customers globally. Today, SecurityScorecard ratings are used by:
- 70% of the Fortune 1000
- 9 of the 10 top banking institutions
- 8 of the 10 largest insurance companies
Collaboration: Our path to a safer digital world
Last year, SecurityScorecard expanded its attack surface management, threat intelligence, digital forensics, and incident response capabilities. With our acquisition of LIFARS, a leader in professional services and incident response, SecurityScorecard is the first security ratings vendor to deliver a fully managed service for supply chain cyber risk management — SecurityScorecard MAX.
“Its platform excels in asset discovery, data source variety, and ratings correlation testing due to its extensive in-house historical data and robust scanning functionality. It also differentiates in security analytics and in-platform collaboration functionality, and features strong reporting tools to ease risk communication.”
