Proven Data Correlation
The Bitsight Security Rating provides an objective, data-driven lens to view the health of an organization’s cyber security program.
Bitsight data is independently verified to correlate with an organization’s risk of a security incident or data breach. See reports by AIR Worldwide, IHS Markit, Marsh McLennan, and Moody’s Analytics, demonstrating this critical connection.
Per Moody's Analytics, Bitsight Analytics is also correlated to financial risk and firm value.
Trust Matters
Security leaders need solutions that help them identify and mitigate risks in their own organizations and broader third party supply chain, including vendors, suppliers, and business associates. Attackers continue to exploit known vulnerabilities and target critical third party suppliers to gain access to sensitive data or inflict operational harm. With the growing criticality of cybersecurity risk rating platforms in the global marketplace, trust and data accuracy matters.
Bitsight is committed to creating trustworthy, data-driven, and dynamic measurements of organizational cybersecurity performance derived from objective, verifiable information. In 2017, Bitsight helped create the "Principles for Fair and Accurate Security Ratings,” (PDF) a series of practices developed alongside some of the world’s largest and most risk-focused companies. These Security Ratings Principles affirm the critical role of security ratings in society and the important responsibility that Bitsight holds in creating these measurements.
