Rating Designations

Rating designations are displayed in various parts of the Bitsight Security Ratings Platform to indicate that a rating is specialized, including:

• Where the rating or rating gauge is displayed.
• Company search results.
• The ratings tree.
• Data tables with indicators for the rating types.

Icon	Designation	Description
	Bulk Email Sender	The company offers a bulk email-sending service. It is excluded from the Spam Propagation risk vector.
	Primary	The self-published rating is highlighted by the company to indicate that this segment of their network infrastructure better reflects their security posture.
	Provisional	Unlike a fully mapped Bitsight curated rating, provisional ratings are of companies that have not yet been fully mapped.
	Self-published	The company’s rating consists of data from CIDR blocks, IP addresses, and domains that are specifically selected by the company itself, rather than curated by Bitsight.
	Self-published (private)	The self-published rating is privately published. It is created by the company for internal use and is not available for other organizations to monitor.
	Service Provider	The company provides a type of service, which indicates they own and operate an infrastructure that’s controlled or are used by their customers.
