Within the BitSight Security Ratings platform, we analyze risk vectors specifically chosen to help organizations identify and manage risks across their own networks and the networks of their third parties. Over the past few months, BitSight has added new risk vectors to enhance the insights across the “spectrum of risk” and provide a more comprehensive picture of an organization’s security posture. These risk vectors will not be factored into our rating calculation until we update and expand the rating algorithm once every year. However, they still provide extremely valuable information to BitSight users. As new threats emerge, BitSight understands the important role that these threats play in the security ratings industry. This is why we continuously add to our list of risk vectors — it is critical that security ratings services are dynamic in nature and able to incorporate the identification of these risks into their service.
