No questionnaires. No internal access. Just what's visible from the outside.

The company picks the scope. Cyber insurance? Full of exclusions — and claims get denied when hygiene doesn't match what was represented during underwriting. Neither tells you how one company's posture actually compares to another. That's the problem we built SDP to solve. ## What We Look At We don't ask companies to fill out questionnaires. We don't access internal systems. We look at what's already visible from the outside — and we score it. Over 150 signals. Five Scoring categories. Everything from DNS configuration and email authentication to whether a company has a CISO on the leadership page. The result: a posture score you can compare company-to-company or benchmark against an industry.

Analysts building a diligence case for committee. Underwriters pricing cyber policies without a site visit. Risk officers benchmarking one company against its sector. M&A teams running cybersecurity due diligence on acquisition targets. If you assess risk for a living, SDP gives you a datapoint you didn't have before. Even if you run your own security benchmarking internally, SDP serves as an independent second opinion — built on a different methodology, from a different vantage point. ## Why SOC 2, ISO 27001, Pentests, and Cyber Insurance Aren't Enough SOC 2 attestations evaluate controls the company itself defined. ISO 27001 permits certifying a subset of operations. Penetration testing evaluates what the company allowed to be tested. Cyber insurance policies contain structural exclusions and are subject to claim denial when represented posture diverges from actual hygiene. SDP provides what none of them can: an independent, regularly updated, externally observed posture assessment.
