Able to discover unpatched servers, offers good stability, and scales very well
A low-cost service to evaluate the risk score of a supply chain would be very helpful. This could be useful for insurance companies offering cyber insurance to enterprise customers, providing the insurer with a valuable way to unobtrusively, quickly, and frequently assess their customers and apply appropriate premiums for the level of risk. This would also be useful for enterprises. They could, for example, assess companies prior to a merger or acquisition. What would also be useful for any enterprise would be if their supply chain has some kind of direct digital access to parts of their network.

Easy-to-deploy product with good technical support services
Our organization relies on numerous SaaS services for critical business functions, such as CRM and monitoring solutions. In a hypothetical scenario where a security breach occurs in the CRM database, potentially exposing our data and our clients, SecurityScorecard proves invaluable. It provides a security score, typically a percentage, based on extensive data collection from various sources, including the dark web and social networks. Let's say our CRM solution receives a security score of 78%, indicating a relatively safe status according to the information gathered by SecurityScorecard. One of its most effective features for risk identification is its enterprise-ready automation for third-party risk measurements. Additionally, it provides valuable insights into vulnerabilities within an organization, utilizing tools such as CVE details. For instance, it can assign a score based on vulnerabilities detected, such as 60%, and specify each vulnerability by its identifier. It offers scalability and can handle large volumes of real-time data. The continuous monitoring feature significantly enhances the ability to manage risks by providing real-time data collection on suppliers. We can observe fluctuations in their security levels over time, sometimes even every month. We can create alerts for high-risk situations, enabling organizations to respond promptly to potential security threats or vulnerabilities identified within their supplier network. The product's security ratings are helpful. While there may be occasional false positives, it does not function as a scanning solution. Instead, it presents the same information that hackers could potentially exploit. While I haven't worked with other cybersecurity rating solutions, I can attest to its strengths based on my experience. One notable advantage is their extensive data collection capabilities, surpassing many competitors in the market. They gather a wide range of information, resulting in a vast database that includes many suppliers or companies. It is easy to integrate with other tools. I rate it a nine out of ten.

Pros

"The solution is stable with 12 years of established historical data."
"One of its most effective features for risk identification is its enterprise-ready automation for third-party risk measurements."
"The biggest benefit is visibility, allowing organizations to understand their risks, vulnerabilities, and potential threats."
"I rate the product's initial setup phase a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup process."
"Fortify Data offers attack surface capabilities that identify vulnerabilities, exposed ports, and dark web information."
"The initial setup takes just a couple of days and doesn't require any installation."
"With SecurityScorecard, the most valuable feature is the ability to identify if third parties or vendors have digital threats that may impact our company. It also scans all internal domains and IPs to find vulnerabilities in the digital landscape. The continuous monitoring capabilities have been beneficial by providing ongoing assessments of potential risks."
"With its automated approach, nothing is missed on the IPs your organization is related to."
"The solution helps identify our environment's vulnerabilities."
 

Cons

"A low-cost service to evaluate the risk score of a supply chain would be very helpful."
"They could improve the process with a questionnaire module for the product."

"Some wanted a different solution."
"The product can be improved by incorporating more data points and intelligence around dark web information and threat data."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Even though it's competitive, they offer flexible pricing structures."
"The pricing of SecurityScorecard is fair. I would rate it a seven. It's a bit more on the expensive side. In Brazil, for example, making a payment to the vendor involves wire transfers and high taxes, making it more expensive. Selling SecurityScorecard or any American vendor's product in the United States is very different from selling in South America or Brazil."
"The pricing could be split into a lower-paid tier for smaller organizations and another higher tier for others with a more security-focused outlook. $1000 per month is more than some companies pay for their internet connections in total. UPDATE: they have a new 400$ a month tier for starters."
