Our take
Organizations understand the value of data and the value of business partnerships that will help them leverage it. However, involving more companies increases the risk of vulnerabilities, and therefore costly data breaches. SecurityScorecard is a cloud-based enterprise SaaS solution that helps organizations assess and manage cybersecurity risks, offering analyses of potential partner companies using A-F security ratings.
SecurityScorecard looms over its competitors as it covers millions of companies, offering near-instant cybersecurity analyses and an array of capabilities. It has a large, global, and big-name customer base, including 9 of the top 10 pharmaceutical companies and 9 of the top 10 banking institutions, and it is likely to go public in the next few years.
It has both developed and consolidated an impressive lead in a sector that will continue growing and rewarding cutting-edge security solutions. It looks set to remain an industry leader with demonstrable, accessible, and highly attractive customer offerings. In 2024, this included a supply chain cyber risk management platform - MAX - which is driving record revenue.
