SecurityScorecard is a company that delivers security posture assessments by analyzing companies’ external surface visibility. In order to prove their confidence in the accuracy of their assessments, they are now offering a Score Guarantee, which includes 20 hours of free digital forensics and incident response (DFIR) services to customers that have achieved an ‘A’ rating in surface analysis. This offer is completely separate from cyberinsurance, as it is not underwritten by insurers and is not intended to be an alternative to insurance.
The Score Guarantee is based on the company’s research that shows companies receiving an ‘A’ rating are 7.7-times less likely to suffer a cyber-incident than companies receiving an ‘F’ rating. SecurityScorecard’s confidence in their ratings is such that the guarantee is not subject to the cyberinsurance war exclusion clause, or any other exclusions related to the type of incident.
The company also offers an analysis of supply chain thirty-party websites and their research revealed that 98% of organizations have a relationship with a third party that has been breached. SecurityScorecard can highlight areas where defense should be improved, and if weaknesses are improved and an ‘A’ rating is achieved, a breach is less likely – and the firm will underwrite its confidence in this assertion with 20 hours of free DFIR.
Headquartered in New York City, SecurityScorecard was founded in 2013 and has raised a total of $292.2 million, most recently in a Series E round of $180 million in March 2021.

Through their Score Guarantee, they are offering customers 20 hours of free digital forensics and incident response (DFIR) services if they have achieved an ‘A’ rating in surface analysis.
