SecurityScorecard’s scoring methodology explains how it produces daily, non-intrusive “outside-in” cybersecurity ratings at global scale by monitoring hundreds of signals and converting a defined subset of weighted security issues into factor scores and an overall score. Organizations receive a 0–100 total score mapped to an A–F grade, with ten risk factor groups (such as application security, DNS health, endpoint security, patching cadence, and IP reputation) helping teams prioritize remediation. To ensure fairness across very different organization sizes, the model uses size normalization and statistical calibration (including modified z-scores) to compare entities to peers with similar digital footprints. Scores are recalibrated regularly to reflect evolving threats, a disclosed breach
