Summary

The Free Security Rating Tool provides a snapshot rating of a domain's security, privacy, and darknet exposure based on externally observable data — with nothing to install.

What does it do?

The tool assesses your domain from an external perspective and produces a rating snapshot covering security posture, basic privacy compliance, and darknet exposure.

The snapshot is an initial picture you can share with management or prospective business partners as a basis for risk discussions.

Who should use it?

This tool is for anyone who needs a quick, objective picture of cyber risk.

  • Business owners and managers wanting a fast cyber risk overview
  • IT teams needing a baseline before improvement projects
  • Procurement teams assessing prospective vendors
  • Security consultants needing an initial client briefing

What inputs does it require?

No internal access, software installation, or documents are required.

  • Your company's domain name
  • Optional: name and contact details to receive the full report

How does it work?

  1. Enter your company's domain into the Free Security Rating form.
  2. CyberRank's external sensors collect security signals visible from the internet.
  3. Scores are computed and mapped to a letter rating (A–D) with a category breakdown.
  4. The rating snapshot is displayed, and a full report can be requested by email.

What results can you expect?

With the full report, you also get prioritized remediation recommendations.

  • Letter rating and overall risk score
  • Category breakdown: network, application, email & domain, darknet
  • Highlights of the most impactful findings

What are its limitations?

The snapshot is based on external data only — it does not assess internal controls such as policies, employee training, or physical security. The rating is a starting point, not a full audit, and results can change over time.
