Perimetry Cloud vs SecurityScorecard
SecurityScorecard rates organisations from outside for third-party risk programmes, with a free account for your own rating and paid plans on quote; Perimetry Cloud audits your own domains with the fix for each finding and watches your suppliers, with public prices from a free plan.
Perimetry Cloud and SecurityScorecard side by side
| What | Perimetry Cloud | SecurityScorecard |
|---|---|---|
| Approach | Audit of your own domains with the fix for each finding; watch of your suppliers' domains on the side | Security ratings of organisations seen from outside, for third-party risk management (vendors and their own suppliers) |
| Data collected | Passive audit: public DNS, certificate logs, the pages your servers already serve to anyone, public data sets. Nothing is attacked | Passive sensors (honeypots, DNS sinkholes) and internet-wide active scanning that it describes as non-intrusive, with threat intelligence |
| Free option | Free plan: 1 domain, one full audit a month, no card | A free account, for good: the rating of your own domain, open issues, alerts when the score changes, answering questionnaires; a free trial of TITAN Watch |
| Paid plans | Public prices: Solo €19, Agency €79, Agency Plus €199 a month, excluding VAT; every plan runs the same 45 checks | TITAN Watch, Assess, Secure, OS and the MAX managed services, on quote; the price mainly follows the number of organisations monitored |
| Suppliers watched | 3 / 10 / 50 / 200 (Free / Solo / Agency / Agency Plus), public checks, alert when a score drops | The core of the paid plans; third and fourth parties detected on Secure |
| Supplier questionnaires | Pre-filled with what we see: 5 / 30 / 100 a month (Solo / Agency / Agency Plus) | Questionnaire management, templates and AI agents on Assess |
| Fixing your own domain | The exact record or setting for each finding, "Check if it is fixed", one-click DNS fixes on the Agency plans | Open issues and remediation prioritisation in the free account |
| Customers | Freelancers, small businesses and agencies; EU-hosted, in English, French and German | 3,300+ organisations, including 70% of the Fortune 100 (its figures) |

Key differences
- Rating others or fixing your own
- SecurityScorecard is built to rate and follow many organisations, your vendors first, and to run a third-party risk programme around them. Perimetry Cloud is built first to make your own domains safer, finding by finding, and adds supplier watch for the dozens of suppliers a small organisation has.
- Breadth of the data
- SecurityScorecard combines its own sensors, internet-wide scanning and threat intelligence across hundreds of thousands of companies. Perimetry Cloud runs a passive audit of the domains you add, with the evidence for each finding.
- How the price is built
- SecurityScorecard quotes its paid plans, mainly by the number of organisations monitored. Perimetry Cloud's prices are public, with the number of suppliers in each plan.
- Questionnaires
- Both help with supplier questionnaires: SecurityScorecard with templates and AI agents on Assess, Perimetry Cloud with about twenty short questions pre-filled with what we see from outside.
Which one fits you
The two can also work together: they do not look at the same things.
Choose SecurityScorecard if
- You run a third-party risk programme over hundreds or thousands of vendors and need ratings for all of them.
- You want threat intelligence, fourth-party detection or managed services around your vendor risk.
- Your customers look at your SecurityScorecard rating: its free account lets you see and work on it.
Choose Perimetry Cloud if
- Your first goal is to fix what your own domains expose, with the exact change for each finding.
- You have a few to 200 suppliers to watch for NIS2, and want public prices.
- You are a small business or an agency and want reports, attestations and alerts without a sales call.
Questions
- Is Perimetry Cloud a SecurityScorecard alternative?
- For a small organisation that wants to secure its own domains and keep an eye on its main suppliers, yes. For a large third-party risk programme over many vendors, SecurityScorecard is made for that and Perimetry Cloud is not.
- Will fixing findings in Perimetry Cloud change my SecurityScorecard rating?
- We cannot say: each service computes its own score its own way. Many of the problems Perimetry Cloud reports (e-mail authentication, certificates, security headers, exposed services) are public, so fixing them improves what anyone sees from outside.
- Does Perimetry Cloud rate companies that are not customers?
- Only the public checks, on the suppliers you add, for you. A supplier sees its details for free once it proves the domain is its own.
