Rankiteo

Rankiteo is a London-based security ratings and third-party risk management (TPRM) startup, founded around 2021, that positions itself against the paywalled model of incumbent ratings vendors. Its core Cyber Risk Scoring methodology is offered free, combining an external attack surface management (EASM) scan across thirteen security modules with an AI Cyber Score that factors in incident history and organizational scale.

The company says its platform provides free access to cybersecurity scores for over a million companies worldwide, distributed in part through a Chrome and Firefox browser extension that surfaces a score on any company’s website without requiring an account. A separate, paid TPRM module adds real-time alerts when a vendor’s posture changes and compliance mapping to frameworks such as ISO 27001 and SOC 2.

With a small team of roughly half a dozen people and a single seed round reported in late 2023, Rankiteo remains a minor player in a large, well-funded ratings market dominated by firms like BitSight and SecurityScorecard. Its free-access framing is a real pricing differentiator for security teams doing lightweight vendor screening, even if it has yet to demonstrate independent validation of its scoring accuracy at scale.
