FortaRisks vs security ratings tools
Ratings tools score you from the outside with a closed methodology. You see a grade, not the why, and nothing about your internal posture or compliance.
An external rating is a useful signal, but it is one dimension of risk. FortaRisks keeps the outside-in view and adds your posture, your compliance and live threat intelligence, then correlates them into a score you can actually break down and defend.

Common questions
- What happens to our security rating?
- It becomes redundant. FortaRisks already gives you the outside-in view a rating provides, then adds the inside view it never had: posture, compliance and live threat intelligence, correlated into one score. You do not add a rating, you replace it with something you can act on.
- How is the score different from a letter grade?
- A grade is a closed black box. Our score is decomposable, pillar by pillar, down to every finding behind it. One you cannot question, one you can defend.
- Does it cover our OT environment?
- Yes, exactly where ratings stop. Industrial protocols are fingerprinted in read-only, beyond the corporate perimeter.
