About our data

 

  • How we collect data

    We have our own attribution and threat intelligence teams, who source almost all of the data we use (99%).

    All of the data we use is ethically and lawfully obtained. We only collect data on entities, not on people.

     

     

     

  • How we score our findings

    SecurityScorecard developed its breach prediction algorithm by using LLMs to analyze the root cause of 15,000 historical breaches.

     

     

     

  • How we validate our findings

    We use multiple mechanisms to check our data quality:

    • We monitor corrections from our users, which we aim to keep below thresholds.
    • We look for patterns in corrections to deal with any underlying issues.
    • We spot check attribution and findings data.

    Any company can validate our findings, IP, and domain attributions to ensure their digital footprint is accurate.

     

     

     

  • Scoring and attribution changes

    SecurityScorecard is committed to providing advanced notice of scoring enhancements. Before changes are released, they must go through a Change Committee board and undergo impact assessments.
