The ultimate cybersecurity rating
An independent entity to rate Cybersecurity
A little history
Our name, LEET Security is inspired by the LEET courts, which operated in England, Wales and Ireland in the Middle Ages to maintain peace and resolve conflicts over the application of standards and best practices in trade. This already gives a clue into our purpose.
LEET Security was founded by Antonio Ramos in 2010, at the height of the cloud computing boom to answer a recurring question: "How secure is a service?"
We observed that, although service providers conducted multiple audits, their users still lacked clarity about their actual level of security and each customer required a personalized process to understand it. In other words, while customers did not doubt that the service was secure, they were uncertain to what extent.
Ultimately, we realized we were facing an information transparency issue (or as snob economists say, asymmetric information), rather than a validation of cybersecurity requirements.
Therefore, we use a common technique in innovation: apply a method in a situation that would have resolved a similar situations in another similar environment. The result was the creation of a method to label the Cybersecurity level of services that serves as a common language between the parties: the rating
This way:
Service providers have a mechanism to show "all" their customers how secure they are; and
Customers have an objective scale that allows them to fully understand what they can expect from the hired service in terms of cybersecurity.
In summary, the ultimate cybersecurity rating.
The Agency and the LEET Seal
The LEET Security rating agency is an independent entity, incorporated for the sole purpose of developing and managing a labelling system to reliably rate the information security levels of services provided by organizations and in particular ICT service providers.
From its inception, the LEET Security agency compiles and continuously updates the controls defined in the main international regulations, standards and best practices, classifying them and grouping them at different levels to provide a “score” to the security implemented in each qualified service, which is highlighted in the LEET Seal.
As a result, the rating system managed by LEET Security became the first implementation of the EU Cybersecurity Strategy recommendation to create ICT security labelling systems.
The ultimate objective is to provide trust to the customers/users of such services, providing full transparency to the security measures implemented by the suppliers in the services they provide and to generate a safer ecosystem. More and more companies are relying on LEET Security Rating to manage their supply chain security, or to know and certify their own. And together, as an ecosystem, we are safer.
