What Is
Security Scorecard is a cybersecurity risk rating platform that uses outside-in observable data to generate a quantitative security score, similar in concept to a financial credit score. It analyzes public digital signals — DNS configurations, SSL certificates, and dark web credential leaks — to produce an overall security posture score (A to F, or 0-100), making it a powerful, scalable tool for Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM).
Why Choose Us
01
Vendors with weaker security are increasingly used as stepping stones into larger organizations. Continuous monitoring catches this risk before it becomes a breach.
02
Comparing dozens of vendors through static forms is slow and outdated fast. Instant, quantitative data replaces the guesswork.
03
Enterprise customers and regulators increasingly demand active third-party risk management — the platform provides objective evidence effortlessly.
Feature
Automatic, ongoing assessment across twelve risk factors keeps your score reflecting current reality, not a stale snapshot.
Monitor thousands of vendors simultaneously without requiring their active involvement.
Specific findings behind every score change include technical descriptions and actionable fixes.
An intuitive dashboard presents security posture clearly, with reports scheduled automatically for stakeholders.
Compare your score against industry averages and competitors to set realistic targets.
Share scores directly with vendors and invite them to fix their own vulnerabilities.
Quantitative, consistently verifiable data replaces subjective risk assessments for management.
Automated vendor ecosystem monitoring lets your team manage larger portfolios without proportionally more manual work.
Instant security posture overviews speed up partner evaluation and contract negotiation.
Simple scores let CISOs explain cyber risk to non-technical board members effectively.
Standards like ISO 27001 increasingly require proof of external monitoring, and insurers frequently reference these ratings.
Automated alerts on sudden score drops let you resolve root causes immediately.

The platform uses an outside-in methodology, collecting public signals like DNS data and SSL configuration to generate an accurate external security posture score.
Scores are highly accurate for measuring exposed digital surfaces, but they don’t replace comprehensive internal audits — the platform works best alongside broader corporate security programs.
Yes — the monitoring capacity is designed for high scalability, and enterprise organizations commonly monitor thousands of vendors simultaneously across their supply chain.
A significant drop triggers automatic notifications with the specific technical findings behind the downgrade, so your IT team can take corrective action quickly.
By default, vendor monitoring is passive and undetected. Many organizations choose to share scores collaboratively, which often drives faster security improvement across the supply chain.
