    If you are considering BitSight Security Ratings as a portion or bulk of a larger vendor management project you will be well served in letting the risk scores be an indication of how closely you need to examine a vendor. However, you should not base your assessment solely on the risk score provided. The risk score is based on publicly available data and can be inaccurate.

    Certa
    Our brief experience with Certa was great overall. We liked the many options it provided, and saw how easily it could help manage our company's needs. However, the app was not as intuitive to work our way through, especially for those in our company that are not tech savvy. The onboarding function was what I was most excited about while using it. The dashboard made it super easy to see the overview of a project and know the next steps that need to be taken, and help get everyone on the same page without having to send emails, calls or texts to give updates. However, when deciding whether to continue with Certa or go a different route, the choice was hard, but he had enough employees struggling and unsure on the app that made the end decision

    Cons
    Bitsight Technologies
    • Since data is based on public registration IP and domain data can be stale depending on ISP/Domain registration update delays.
    • Correcting a false detection is a month-long endeavor and requires the company with the impacted score to clean up BitSight's data.
    • Customer service for incorrect data is convoluted and requires a deep understanding of domain registration to correct the data. The responsibility for correcting data is placed solely on the customer's shoulders.

    • Because it is fully customizable, we felt like there were too many options. Having more of a basic template for like-minded industries would be helpful.
    • Maneuvering around the app was not as easy as I'd hoped. We have several employees that aren't tech savvy, and it was hard getting them to use the app.

    Great look and feel, intuitive in most modules, and has great features to gather the right info and process it at high speed. Good and usefull dashboards for our own, and has also proved to be very good when you are on the vendor side of the solution and need to send info to your customers

    We evalauted Security Scorecard as another option at some point, the tools have many similar features when we analyze them, basically we had a great deal with our regular security partners and finally decided for Bitsight, but to be honest we did not have a deep proof of concept on other platforms, Bitsight was just what we were looking for.

    We actually ended up picking JobNimbus over Certa only because we had employees that were already familier with JN and felt comfortable navigating and assisting other coworkers. It came down to JN and Certa and that was the only reason we didn't go with Certa. They were very comparable, but the few employees that are not tech savvy were having difficulties navigating Certa. I would not be opposed to using Certa in the future or recommending it to other companies.

    • The contract software was great. We were spending money each month to have certified contracts signed and drawn up. Certa did a great job at including this feature, saving money overall.
    • Once all documents and contacts are inputted, so much time and effort would be saved. We would no longer need to call, email or follow up with each other to verify that tasks were completed.
