Our take

Organisations understand the value of data, and the 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 organisations 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.

The company has consolidated an impressive lead in a sector that will certainly continue to grow. It continues to bolster its offering, for example with the release of its supply chain cyber risk management platform, MAX, as well as through the acquisition of internet scanning startup Driftnet.
