Overview
BitSight provides security ratings and cyber risk analytics, ingesting over 400 billion events daily into the Cyber Risk Analytics Engine. The BitSight Security Rating quantifies cybersecurity performance on a scale from 300 to 820, monitoring over 40 million organizations and mapping 1 million entities - with independent verification by AIR Worldwide, IHS Markit, and Moody's Analytics correlating ratings to breach risk.
Key Capabilities
- Security Ratings - Data-driven ratings on a 300-820 scale using four risk categories: Compromised Systems, Organizational Diligence, User Behaviors, and Public Disclosures
- 400B+ Daily Events - Collected through crawlers, sinkholes, P2P network monitoring, honeypots, BitTorrent monitoring, spam traps, and darknet traffic monitoring
- Entity Mapping - Meticulous mapping of findings to organizations through company relationships, asset mapping, IP/CIDR block mapping, DNS mapping, and subsidiary attribution
- AI + HUMINT Analysis - Combination of artificial intelligence and human intelligence assessing risk vectors including botnet infections, spam, malware servers, patching cadence, TLS/SSL configuration, open ports, and software versioning
- Third-Party Risk - Vendor risk reports showing security posture across your vendor portfolio with continuous monitoring
- Transparency - Committed to Principles for Fair and Accurate Security Ratings with Bitsight Knowledge Base and Policy Review Board for dispute and appeal
- Bitsight Groma - Next-Generation Internet Scanning - Groma is BitSight's continuous internet scanning technology that monitors the global attack surface in real time, identifying vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and asset changes as they occur - replacing periodic snapshot-based models with always-on visibility
- Dynamic Remediation - When issues are remediated, Groma validates the fix automatically and stops counting it against your rating. Customers can trigger on-demand rescans for individual findings or in bulk, with validation results often available within minutes and rating changes reflected in the next daily update - giving security teams direct, self-service control over their rating refresh cycle
- Daily Rating Updates - BitSight Security Ratings are recalculated every day using the latest confirmed data from continuous scanning. This combination of Groma's real-time scanning and daily recalculation ensures organizations maintain a near real-time view of their actual security posture rather than relying on outdated or batch-processed data
- Remediation Tracking and Reporting - Built-in rescan status indicators, historical finding timelines, and remediation progress filters make it straightforward to demonstrate security improvements to internal stakeholders and external partners
