    Next Steps: Get to an A, stay an A

    1. Create an account

    If you can read this, you’ve already created an account. Well done!

    2. Validate your Digital Footprint

    Once you have an account, review your company’s Digital Footprint, the assets SecurityScorecard found as potentially attributable to your company that affect the ratings in your Scorecard. Request removal or addition of IPs as needed.

    3. Review your issue findings

    It is highly recommended to validate your Digital Footprint before reviewing issues. When
    you’re ready to review your Scorecard issues, you can investigate the contents of your Scorecard. Invite your teammates as needed to help you review your company Scorecard. It’s a win for your company’s security posture when you identify loose ends of which you weren’t aware.

    About SecurityScorecard

    SecurityScorecard is a security ratings service that rates companies on their overall security using an easy-to-understand A-F grading system. A company with a C, D, or F rating is 5.4 times more likely to suffer a consequential breach versus A or B-rated companies [^1].
