NOMINATION HIGHLIGHTS

SecurityScorecard integrates proprietary intelligence into their risk and rating cloud solution and can identify vulnerabilities not recognizable by any of its competitors, while offering the same perspective that an outside hacker would have. The company takes a fundamentally different approach to cyber security, recognizing that nearly 75 percent of breaches stem from third party vendors, and so any successful monitoring platform needs to include these entities.

The depth and breadth of SecurityScorecard’s monitoring abilities helped propel the company to roughly 400 percent growth in 2016. SecurityScorecard has also experienced a 550 percent growth in customers, many from the Fortune 500. The company acknowledges that none of this would be possible without the hard work and innovation of its employees, which is why they place a premium on attracting and retaining top talent through an inviting corporate culture. SecurityScorecard encourages employees to set aside 10 percent of their time to work on non-corporate dictated innovations. White hat hackers are offered a $3,000 a year stipend for career-related classes and a $1,500 reimbursement stipend for related conferences. And the office itself boasts game, leisure, and meditation rooms where employees can take breaks throughout the day. They’ve also installed a beer tap in order to have a relaxed working environment.
