  • Information technology security assessment system
    Patent number: 11882146
    Abstract: A method and system for creating a composite security rating from security characterization data of a third party computer system. The security characterization data is derived from externally observable characteristics of the third party computer system. Advantageously, the composite security score has a relatively high likelihood of corresponding to an internal audit score despite use of externally observable security characteristics. Also, the method and system may include use of multiple security characterizations all solely derived from externally observable characteristics of the third party computer system.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 5, 2023
    Date of Patent: January 23, 2024
    Assignee: BitSight Technologies, Inc.
    Inventors: Stephen Wayne Boyer, Nagarjuna Venna, Megumi Ando
