For a company, the added value of a reliable, controlled cyber rating is significant. As Julien Steunou, Associate Director - SOC CERT CWATCH at Almond, a Board Of Cyber partner, explains, "cyber rating is an important decision-making element in risk management. For a business leader, benefiting from a clear assessment and presentation of cyber performance enables simple actions to be identified." What's more, he adds,
"we see a link between cyber ratings and cyber attacks. According to our data, the lowest-rated companies versus top-rated companies are five times more likely to be of being targeted by cyber criminals."
Another signal of urgency comes from the insurance world. According to France Assureurs, cyber risk is the number-one risk identified by insurance company executives. The association, which is the main professional representative body for insurance companies in France, anticipates an increase in attacks on technological supply chains and critical infrastructures. Insurers' caution in insuring this systemic risk, which they still have little control over, reinforces the need to build an ecosystem of trust.
A cyber rating solution for assessed companies...
From the outset, Board of Cyber has positioned itself as a cyber rating solution at the service of the companies and organizations it assesses, rather than as a rating agency. More than 95% of the companies assessed by Security Rating® are involved in the assessment, with the possibility of ensuring that the scope assessed corresponds to the company's assets. The Board of Cyber's mission is to create an ecosystem of trust by encouraging each partner to improve its cyber posture. When evaluating suppliers, Board of Cyber encourages the company to share the rating with its suppliers, so that they can benefit from Security Rating® recommendations and improve their performance.
Security Rating® combines the simplicity and speed of an automated assessment with recommendations for improving the cyber performance of companies and organizations. Depending on requirements, this support can also include questionnaires to help understand the organization of the company being assessed, technical tests and, above all, the possibility of making available its network of expert partners to help improve performance, with the intervention and interpretation of a security expert. Cyber rating becomes a benchmark for continuous improvement.
For Board of Cyber, cyber rating is an efficient way for organizations to build trust in their ecosystems and reduce the risks associated with cyber attacks.
