SecurityScorecard, the global leader in cybersecurity ratings, announced at the AWS re:Inforce 2022, it is making its vendor profile available to Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers to automate and simplify the software risk assessment process. SecurityScorecard’s security and compliance artifacts are now available as part of AWS Marketplace Vendor Insights.
The prevalence of malicious threats and third-party data breaches has spurred enterprises to increase the rigor of software risk assessments. To ensure supply chain security, organizations require visibility into the ongoing security posture of their vendors versus point-in-time attestation. SecurityScorecard facilitates the acceleration of procurement cycles by providing continuous cyber monitoring and a centralized repository for security and compliance artifacts.
On-demand security and compliance information
Using AWS Marketplace Vendor Insights, AWS Marketplace customers will have access to the most current security and compliance information about SecurityScorecard that is automatically updated using AWS Audit Manager and ISO/SOC-2 reports. This will help to reduce the software risk assessment lead time from months to a few hours, streamlining the complex, third-party software risk assessment process.
Alex Rich, vice president of alliances at SecurityScorecard
