April 3, 2025 - London, UK - Rankiteo [https://www.rankiteo.com/] Challenges the Industry's Most Profitable Illusion with the Launch of the World's First Open Cybersecurity Inventory

Rankiteo, a rising force in cybersecurity intelligence, announces today the launch of the world's first Open Cybersecurity Inventory, a public platform that provides free access to the cybersecurity scores of over 1 million companies worldwide. This initiative directly challenges the longstanding dominance of private platforms that have built their business on restricting access to cyber risk data behind extremely expensive paywalls.

For years, large cybersecurity rating providers have sold the idea that understanding a company's digital risk exposure should come at a premium. Annual subscriptions can easily exceed $200,000, even for access to data that is largely derived from public signals and surface-level technical analysis. Rankiteo [https://www.rankiteo.com/]takes a firm stance: cybersecurity intelligence should not be a luxury product - it should be a standard, accessible resource for every organization, large or small.

Rankiteo Exposes What the Industry Has Tried to Keep Quiet

While market leaders like BitSight and SecurityScorecard have raised hundreds of millions of dollars - $397 million and $291 million respectively - their platforms remain closed, their data locked behind contracts, and their pricing aligned with exclusivity, not accessibility. Rankiteo believes this model no longer serves the needs of a connected, high-risk digital world.

Inspired by S&P: Building the Global Standard for Cyber Risk

Rankiteo aspires to build in cybersecurity what firms like S&P have established in financial markets: a trusted, global standard for evaluating risk, based on transparency, consistency, and open access to critical data. By providing clear and comparable cybersecurity scores, Rankiteo aims to support smarter decisions across industries and promote a healthier, more accountable digital ecosystem.

Why should an organization pay an outrageous annual fee for information that should be far more affordable - or even partially accessible at no cost?

This is the uncomfortable question that Rankiteo puts at the center of the conversation - a question the market can no longer afford to ignore.

From 1 Million to 100 Million Companies: Rankiteo is Building the World's Largest Cyber Risk Database

Rankiteo's roadmap is as ambitious as its vision. By Q4 2025, the platform will expand to cover over 100 million companies globally, creating the largest and most accessible cybersecurity score inventory ever built. The company's ambition is not simply to offer a new tool, but to become the global standard - much like Moody's in finance - for assessing digital trust and cyber resilience across all sectors.

Not Just a Tool, But a New Philosophy

Rankiteo was founded on the belief that transparency in cybersecurity is no longer optional. In an era where third-party risk, ransomware, and supply chain attacks are daily concerns, organizations should not have to negotiate or pay exorbitantly to understand their exposure - or that of their partners.

Its AI-powered scoring engine is built on modern Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) methodologies and analyzes multiple dimensions of an organization's technical infrastructure: DNS health, email security, exposed services, SSL configurations, known vulnerabilities, and more. The result is a dynamic, accurate, and transparent score - not a black box metric hidden behind a paywall.

Free Access with Premium Intelligence When Needed

Every company listed in the Open Cybersecurity Inventory can access a free snapshot of its cyber posture. Those requiring deeper insights can subscribe to Rankiteo's Monitoring Package, which offers real-time alerts, historical trend analysis, and custom recommendations to improve security posture proactively - all at a fair, accessible price point, far removed from the inflated market norms.

A Market Ready for Disruption - and Rankiteo Is Leading the Charge

With the global cybersecurity market projected to reach $345.4 billion by 2026, the demand for meaningful, accessible intelligence has never been greater. Rankiteo is not here to participate in the race to higher margins - it is here to redefine the category, based on a belief that access to risk intelligence is a right, not a privilege.

Strategic Investors Take Note: The Future Is Open

Rankiteo has opened its Seed Funding Round and is welcoming strategic partners and investors who share its conviction: that a more open, more equitable cybersecurity ecosystem isn't just possible - it's inevitable.

Those who built the paywalls will resist. But the market is shifting. And Rankiteo is ready.
