Cybersecurity rating
Security ratings are an objective, data-driven, quantifiable measurement of an organization’s overall cybersecurity performance[1]. Security ratings provide businesses and government agencies with a third-party, independent view into the security behaviors and practices of their own organization as well as that of their business partners. Security ratings are a useful tool in evaluating cyber risk and facilitating collaborative, risk-based conversations[2].
According to Gartner, cybersecurity ratings will become as important as credit ratings when assessing the risk of existing and new business relationships. Gartner predicts that these services will be a perquisite for business relationships[3].
