CyberGRX is a data company that helps organizations manage third-party risk and reputation through cyber risk intelligence. CyberGRX’s revolutionary approach empowers enterprises to make rapid, data-informed decisions, reducing cyber risk across an entire vendor ecosystem. Due to the extensive depth and breadth of cyber risk data collected via the CyberGRX Exchange platform, the company is able to provide customers with both attested and predicted data in the form of actionable insights into the impact of evolving threats. For organizations operating as third parties, CyberGRX helps manage cybersecurity reputations in a collaborative, efficient, and business-enabling way.
CyberGRX first emerged as the market’s first global cyber risk exchange to help organizations work with their vendors to identify and reduce shared risk. As a two-sided Exchange, the company connects both the consumers of cyber risk data, primarily CISOs and their security teams, and the providers of cyber risk data, primarily the vendors themselves, via cyber risk assessments as well as other data feeds. The initial go-to-market approach was to populate the Exchange with as much data as possible before the company started charging participants for the value they received. Since then, CyberGRX has experienced significant growth scaling to over 225,000 companies on the Exchange.
