About

BitSight operates as a leading security ratings platform that transforms cybersecurity risk assessment through data-driven metrics and continuous monitoring capabilities. The company provides organizations with comprehensive visibility into their security posture and that of their third-party vendors. BitSight's platform leverages external data sources and proprietary algorithms to generate objective security ratings.

The platform offers continuous security monitoring that tracks security performance across multiple vectors including network security, endpoint management, and user behavior. BitSight collects and analyzes data from publicly observable internet infrastructure to assess security controls and identify potential vulnerabilities. The system provides automated risk scoring that updates regularly based on changing security conditions.

Third-party risk management represents a core component of BitSight's offerings, enabling organizations to evaluate vendor security posture before engagement and monitor ongoing risk levels. The platform includes supply chain risk assessment tools that help organizations understand cascading risks from their extended business networks. BitSight also provides industry benchmarking capabilities that allow companies to compare their security performance against sector peers.

What distinguishes BitSight is its outside-in approach to security assessment, which evaluates organizations from an external attacker's perspective rather than relying solely on internal security tools. The platform combines threat intelligence with observable security indicators to provide objective risk measurements. BitSight's methodology includes analysis of malware infections, botnet communications, SSL certificate management, and other externally visible security factors.

Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and cybersecurity service providers utilize BitSight for various applications including board-level risk reporting, cyber insurance underwriting, and merger and acquisition due diligence. The platform serves chief information security officers who need quantifiable metrics for security program effectiveness. Financial institutions and healthcare organizations particularly value BitSight's regulatory compliance reporting capabilities.

BitSight integrates with existing security operations centers and risk management frameworks to provide contextual threat intelligence. The platform supports automated workflows for vendor onboarding and continuous supplier risk monitoring, making it valuable for procurement and risk management teams across industries.
