Security ratings
TrustVendor vs SecurityScorecard
SecurityScorecard assigns A–F letter grades across ten risk-factor groups using a similar external telemetry methodology.
Where SecurityScorecard is strong
Legible grades, huge brand recall, strong enterprise channel, and a finding that F-rated organizations breach at several times the rate of A-rated ones.
Where it falls short
Same structural problem as Bitsight: the grade compresses enormous nuance, is context-free, and vendors dispute grades constantly through a slow process.

Common questions
Honest answers.
Should I replace SecurityScorecard with TrustVendor?
For most organizations, the answer is no — at least not initially. SecurityScorecard's external telemetry signal is real and worth keeping. The fastest sale is coexistence: keep SecurityScorecard for what it does well, add TrustVendor for document-based evidence, change detection, and relationship-aware scoring. Many customers run both.
How does TrustVendor handle the same vendors SecurityScorecard already rates?
TrustVendor monitors the same vendor population through a different signal set: trust centres, subprocessor pages, SOC 2 reports, SEC filings, CT logs, and regulatory disclosures. Where SecurityScorecard asks "what does this vendor's internet footprint look like?", TrustVendor asks "what does this vendor claim in writing, is it backed by evidence, and what changed?" Both questions matter.
Can TrustVendor ingest my SecurityScorecard data?
Yes. TrustVendor accepts external scores as signals, so your SecurityScorecard rating appears alongside TrustVendor's posture and assurance scores as one of many inputs. This means the score you already pay for becomes part of a richer picture rather than being abandoned.
