A Bitsight curated rating is made up of the resulting network footprint, as outlined in the network mapping process.
This appears as a red, yellow, or blue dot in the Ratings Tree. The colors indicate the company’s current security rating (Basic, Intermediate, or Advanced).
Subscribe to the primary, the Bitsight curated, or one of the self-published ratings of a company.
To best manage risk, using the Bitsight curated version in your portfolio rather than the self-published rating is suggested. However, your approach may vary depending on your relationships with the companies in your portfolio.
- It covers all domains and IP addresses associated with a company and any self-published companies.
- It allows consumers of ratings to have an overall sense of how a company is performing and be able to bring up specific security events and issues within a company, if any, that may be occurring outside of their self-published report.
- Easily engage in conversations with a particular company about policies and practices that may or may not be standard across that company if or when you notice discrepancies between the reports.
