Bitsight Security Ratings
Boston, Massachusetts, United States
What it is
Bitsight Security Ratings helps security and risk leaders assess, monitor, prioritize, and communicate cyber risk. It scores organizations on a 300–820 scale and assigns letter grades for each risk vector. Bitsight says ratings update daily, while validated rescan results can appear within minutes. Coverage is grouped into Compromised Systems, Organizational Diligence, User Behaviors, and Public Disclosures. Its methodology maps external findings to organizations and combines AI with analyst intelligence. Dynamic Remediation provides rescan feedback and rating credit for validated fixes involving SSL configurations, SSL certificates, open TCP ports, server software, and web application security. Plans range from basic rating, asset, and issue management to API access, peer analytics, benchmarking, subsidiary management, and vendor risk workflows. Integrations cover GRC, vendor risk, SIEM, SOAR, and workflow automation, including ServiceNow and Jira. Developers can use APIs and MCP access. Pricing is on request; platforms are web and API.
