About SecurityScorecard

SecurityScorecard sells a platform for continuous vendor monitoring, automated assessments and risk intelligence. SecurityScorecard offers autonomous agents and automation for portfolio monitoring, remediation planning and reporting. TITAN AI unifies intelligent automation, predictive insight, and vendor interactions. TITAN AI owns the data and runs the workflow natively. TITAN AI builds on 12 years of expertise and unifies compliance data, cyber intelligence, and processes. TITAN AI unifies threat intelligence and third-party data to deliver real-time visibility across unknown 3rd and 4th-party vendors.[1][3][4][5][6][16]

SecurityScorecard lets customers perform vendor intake, assessment, monitoring, and remediation as one continuous system instead of multiple disconnected tools. SecurityScorecard provides a self-service intake form that scopes each new vendor into a directory with scores and grades, automatically triggers a risk-tiering questionnaire, and resolves the correct legal entity. The SecurityScorecard system runs the lifecycle continuously, launching assessments, evaluating responses, and flagging only the exceptions that need a person. SecurityScorecard provides always-on third-party monitoring to detect vulnerabilities, threat actor behavior, and nth-party relationships across entire ecosystems. SecurityScorecard notifies users when a new critical finding such as a CVE or other security issue affects specific monitored vendors. In the SecurityScorecard workflow, a finding is prioritized against active threat activity, routed for remediation, and verified independently before it is marked closed. SecurityScorecard lets customers track, maintain, and communicate scorecards for contractual, insurance or brand reasons.[1][3][6][17][20]

SecurityScorecard offers prediction based on which emerging risks are most likely to lead to incidents, using a proprietary global data model. The SecurityScorecard platform automatically discovers unknown dependencies in a customer's supply chain and maps the vendors' vendors. TITAN AI brings a customer's whole ecosystem into continuous view, including uncatalogued vendors and the fourth parties behind them. SecurityScorecard has a Security Events feature in TITAN Secure. The Security Events feature is one centralized feed of external breaches, zero days, and emerging threats across the entire supply chain of a customer. SecurityScorecard event tags distinguish confirmed incidents from unverified chatter.[4][6][17]

TITAN AI facilitates risk understanding for TPRM teams and makes the data that a threat hunter needs for action readily available. SecurityScorecard fuses Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) with TPRM data. SecurityScorecard re-verifies over 3,500 ports every three days. SecurityScorecard lets users detect non-standard services, such as SSH on port 443 or hidden databases. SecurityScorecard lets users apply JARM fingerprinting to identify malicious C2 servers by their behavior. SecurityScorecard lets users trace C2 nodes and phishing domains back to their origin with deep-scan data and historical IP mapping. SecurityScorecard offers APIs and pre-built integrations for Splunk, Sentinel and other SOAR and SIEM platforms.[6][18]

TITAN Assess automates both sides of the questionnaire, answering what customers send and managing what is sent to vendors, with AI-powered workflows and expert human verification. SecurityScorecard lets customers import an existing questionnaire or start from SIG or CAIQ Lite, then send it to one vendor or an entire portfolio with a single passwordless link. SecurityScorecard supports importing Excel, Word, or PDF questionnaires. RespondAI uses a centralized Knowledge Base to draft answers. A SecurityScorecard agent checks every answer against the customer's policy, verifies the vendor's evidence, and calculates a risk score automatically. TITAN uses AI to analyze a vendor's public footprint and historical data to predict their answers. SecurityScorecard lets customers publish a Trust Page with verified security information, SOC 2 reports, and policies, with access controlled by NDA gating, watermarking, and automatic expiration. SecurityScorecard provides secure Data Rooms with NDA gating, watermarking, and access controls for sharing sensitive documents.[1][4][5][8][19]

SecurityScorecard provides ChatSSC, an agentic AI-powered assistant for quick answers about SecurityScorecard data. ChatSSC helps users pinpoint the most critical issues to fix, understand historical score changes, and gain insights into past breaches. A SecurityScorecard agent transforms complex metrics into line charts or trend graphs. Agent processing stays inside SecurityScorecard on the data of the customer and never routes through a third-party AI tool.[16]

A standard SecurityScorecard subscription provides the platform for the customer to manage, while TITAN MAX is a managed service built on the SecurityScorecard platform. TITAN MAX is primarily delivered by certified partners. TITAN MAX assesses, monitors, and responds to risks across the entire vendor ecosystem, using a structured methodology that is aligned with NIST. TITAN MAX takes both a compliance and threat oriented approach to vendor risk assessments, with end-to-end questionnaire management and likelihood-of-incident models that prioritize issue remediation. TITAN MAX operates a Vendor Risk Operations Center (VROC) for continuous vendor security monitoring. The VROC team specializes in risk management, threat hunting, and incident response. TITAN MAX works directly with vendors to resolve issues and improve their cybersecurity posture.[20]

TITAN AI identifies spikes of leaked credentials from the dark web across vendors and automatically maps those signals to specific regulatory controls. SecurityScorecard supports compliance oversight with audit trails for frameworks like NIST, DORA, and more. SecurityScorecard uses AI-accelerated workflows to parse incoming vendor documentation and map responses to regulatory frameworks like NIST and ISO. SecurityScorecard is designed to act as a threat-informed data layer that unifies with the GRC tools of a customer.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][16]
