Vendor risk monitoring has strengthened our security posture and reduced insurance costs
In terms of improvements, I feel SecurityScorecard could enhance some of the integrations based on AI platforms, where I could receive suggestions from the AI tool regarding why SecurityScorecard rates specific issues as critical or high. Details on the technical mitigation would help my non-technical teams understand the security issues better. I think improvements could be made on the reporting side as well, such as the ability to download customizable reports. While SecurityScorecard offers various kinds of reports now, they are limited to predefined formats. Having the ability to choose specific fields for an automated report would be very helpful.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Archer Integrated Risk Management is stable."
"Archer Integrated Risk Management is stable."
"SecurityScorecard helps us identify potential vulnerabilities early, reduce third-party risk, and make more informed security decisions without relying only on questionnaires or self-reporting information."
"The initial setup takes just a couple of days and doesn't require any installation."
"One of its most effective features for risk identification is its enterprise-ready automation for third-party risk measurements."
"The best features SecurityScorecard offers for me are mainly being able to properly position my organization's security posture because of the score that is provided."
"With its automated approach, nothing is missed on the IPs your organization is related to."
"SecurityScorecard continuously scans just about every IP address out there, which means there is information available about virtually every company."
"With SecurityScorecard, the most valuable feature is the ability to identify if third parties or vendors have digital threats that may impact our company. It also scans all internal domains and IPs to find vulnerabilities in the digital landscape. The continuous monitoring capabilities have been beneficial by providing ongoing assessments of potential risks."
"The solution helps identify our environment's vulnerabilities."
 

Cons

"There are missing features in risk survey functionalities and the need for stronger dashboarding."
"The user interface, although it has improved over the years, could benefit from more modernizing."
"SecurityScorecard's technical team's response time is an area that my company expects to be made faster."
"They could improve the process with a questionnaire module for the product."
"The tool needs to have the ability to mitigate vulnerabilities with alternative solutions."
"I realized that because my company was acquired by a bigger organization, SecurityScorecard started associating other portfolio company vulnerabilities to our score, which was not helpful because it was giving us wrong data and giving us vulnerabilities we did not have."
"SecurityScorecard can be complex during setup, and I would recommend that anyone implementing it get help setting it up because it is not as straightforward as people might think."
"There are areas for improvement in response times and overall support."
"Some wanted a different solution."
"SecurityScorecard can be improved. As it currently stands, it does a good job monitoring public-facing devices and the internet and DNS."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing could be split into a lower-paid tier for smaller organizations and another higher tier for others with a more security-focused outlook. $1000 per month is more than some companies pay for their internet connections in total. UPDATE: they have a new 400$ a month tier for starters."
"The pricing of SecurityScorecard is fair. I would rate it a seven. It's a bit more on the expensive side. In Brazil, for example, making a payment to the vendor involves wire transfers and high taxes, making it more expensive. Selling SecurityScorecard or any American vendor's product in the United States is very different from selling in South America or Brazil."
"Even though it's competitive, they offer flexible pricing structures."
