We all know that data security is one of the industry’s greatest concerns and areas of focus. But did you know that it’s possible to get an external, independent score about data security in your suppliers?

This output is provided at https://securityscorecard.com which provides instant visibility on the security position of business partners. SecurityScorecard assess the security strength of all large organisations’ websites and externally exposed infrastructure, and collect and analyse cyber-threat intelligence from across the globe to deliver the most accurate security ratings and detailed findings possible.

This enables our clients to benchmark suppliers by comparing our ‘security score’ with that of competitors.

I’m delighted to say that a snapshot taken in early October showed that Ascent had a score of 97 – the highest amongst competitor firms operating in the recoveries sector (we’ve checked!).
