Key people at SecurityScorecard.
SecurityScorecard is a New York-based cybersecurity company that builds a cloud-based, AI-powered platform for security ratings, supply chain detection and response (SCDR), and risk management. It serves enterprises, governments, critical infrastructure, education, healthcare, and vendors by providing continuous ratings for over 11-12 million organizations, enabling self-monitoring, third-party risk assessment, board reporting, and cyber insurance underwriting[1][2][3][5]. The platform solves the problem of opaque cybersecurity risks in supply chains by delivering quantifiable, 360-degree insights to predict, mitigate, and communicate threats, helping organizations make safer business decisions amid rising cyberattacks[1][2][4]. With strong growth momentum—70,000+ companies using the platform and 600,000+ organizations followed—it positions itself as the global leader in cybersecurity ratings, backed by investors like Evolution Equity Partners, Google Ventures, Intel Capital, and Moody's[2].
SecurityScorecard was co-founded by Alex Yaskevich and others, including Kassoumeh, who aimed to give organizations a true 360-degree view of cyber risks, evolving from an initial placeholder name "Jigsar" (incorporated in Delaware) to SecurityScorecard within months after rapid brainstorming and domain challenges[4]. The idea emerged from the need for a standardized "language" for companies and partners to communicate, understand, and improve security postures, starting with a focus on rating millions of organizations continuously[2][4]. Early traction came from its patented technology and customer-centric approach, growing into a global team with HQ in New York and recognition as a Great Place to Work (168 U.S. employees as of 2020 data), pivotal in shaking up supply chain cyber risk and threat intelligence[4][6][7].
SecurityScorecard rides the explosive growth of supply chain cybersecurity and third-party risk management, fueled by sophisticated cyberattacks targeting vendors and regulations demanding visibility (e.g., for governments and critical infrastructure)[2][3]. Timing is ideal amid escalating threats—its platform turns fragmented data into actionable intelligence, influencing ecosystems by standardizing "What's your Scorecard?" as global parlance for risk communication[4]. Market forces like cyber insurance growth and board-level accountability favor it, as it empowers faster decisions and resilience, transforming how thousands of organizations (including public sector) mitigate mission risks and build inclusive digital landscapes[1][2][5].
SecurityScorecard is poised to solidify as the must-have standard for security measurement, expanding into new use cases like advanced 360° insights and AI-driven decisions per its 2025 goals[4]. Trends like AI-enhanced threats, regulatory pressures, and supply chain interdependence will propel growth, potentially scaling ratings and partnerships further with its investor network. Its influence may evolve toward dominating cyber insurance and global governance, making "Scorecard" ubiquitous—reinforcing its mission to safer business from day one[2][4].
