Data correlation to breach

Bitsight Security Ratings represent more than just what’s happening on your attack surface. Bitsight takes program and vendor risk management a step further by offering companies an external and trusted view of network risks. 

Our data is independently verified to correlate with an organization’s risk of a data breach. Confirmed by AIR Worldwide and IHS Markit, cybersecurity managers can rely on Bitsight data analytics to accurately summarize a program’s breach risk and better prioritize mitigation decisions with visibility into where the greatest risks lie.

Bitsight data is also directly correlated with the risk of a ransomware attack. As the rate of ransomware attacks grows globally, even the most well-established organizations are falling victim, and losing thousands or millions of dollars in the process. Bitsight data points to specific security gaps that are correlated with higher potential for ransomware attacks. 

Armed with the data to tackle ransomware risks in your network, organizations can better protect their data, network, and reputation. 

Marsh correlation to cyber incidents

Marsh McLennan analyzed Bitsight security performance data across 365,000 organizations and its own proprietary cybersecurity incidents and claims database from 2018-2021, comparing the security performance data of thousands of organizations that experienced cybersecurity incidents against those that did not. The study concluded that poor performance in certain areas – including the Bitsight Security Rating and 13 risk vectors – increased an organization’s risk of experiencing a cybersecurity incident, while strong performance implied a lower risk of incident.

Bitsight’s encompassing pool of data has provided customers with a reliable tool to support cybersecurity decision-making. Security ratings are independently verified to correlate with an organization’s financial performance, according to independent Solactive research

When directly connecting cybersecurity program decisions to a company’s financial performance, executives and board members can visualize the company-wide impact of a strong cybersecurity program.

"We were very confident in Bitsight’s ability to deliver accurate information to us and have that accuracy over time."

Building on the Principles of Fair and Accurate Security Ratings, Bitsight uses the below as a framework for our methodology and governance:

Precision

Since the ratings are based on empirical observations, the observations must be correct, correctly attributed to organizations, and correctly interpreted.

Comparability

Ratings must allow meaningful comparisons of security performance between organizations, comparable over time making it possible to observe trends and stable (free from spurious fluctuations)

Ubiquity

Ratings should be available for nearly every significant organization, in all industries, and across the world, intuitive, consistent and easy to understand. This enables comparison against industry and global benchmarks.

Empiricism

Ratings should be based on objective, verifiable data, rather than opinion or subjective judgements and should be correlated with real-world outcomes.
