Security Scorecard is an information security company founded in 2013, based in New York City, New York, United States. Specializing in third party management and IT risk management, Security Scorecard provides a risk rating platform able to determine the security posture of any enterprise through the continuous gathering, aggregation, and scored analysis of cyber threat intelligence signals collected from the global public Internet. The company has received financing rounds from entities such as Sequoia Capital, GV (company), Nokia, Intel, and Moody's.

History
In 2013, Security Scorecard was founded by CEO Aleksandr Yampolskiy and COO Sam Kassoumeh upon realizing that the current state of information security within global enterprises overlooked the critical vulnerabilities introduced by third party vendors. Joined by CRO Alexander Heid, the team guided the inception of the Security Scorecard platform which collects, attributes, and scores security vulnerabilities for all entities that are discovered on the public internet.

Security Scorecard serves all enterprise organizations, and has traction in the following markets: financial services, cyber-insurance, hospitality, e-commerce, energy, public sector, and software as a service.

In January of 2017, President Donald Trump cited a Security Scorecard report during the first public press conference which indicated that US Government network systems were at the 'the worst' level of risk compared to other industries.

Financial history
In 2014, Security Scorecard received an initial US$2.2 million seed round from Evolution Equity Partners, Bold Start Ventures, and Atlas Ventures.

On April 2015, Security Scorecard closed US$12.5 million Series A funding from Sequoia Capital.

In June 2016, Security Scorecard closed a US$20 million Series B funding led by GV, formerly Google Ventures.

During October 2018, Security Scorecard closed $27.5 million Series C funding led by Moody's, Intel, Nokia, and AXA.
