Frequently asked questions
What does Bitsight actually do?
Bitsight continuously scans the internet to build an outside-in picture of your organization and your suppliers: assets, subsidiaries, cloud exposure and software versions. It layers threat intelligence, including data from 1,000+ underground sources, onto that inventory so findings can be ranked by likely exploitation and business impact. Around that intelligence it sells modules for third-party risk management, exposure management, threat intelligence and security posture reporting, and it benchmarks you against 325M+ rated organizations.
How long does it take to get value from Bitsight?
Entry is fast because ratings are generated from external scanning rather than from agents you deploy. A free self-service risk report gives an immediate first read, and most teams see usable portfolio ratings within a few weeks. Full value in a third-party risk program takes longer, because it depends on onboarding your vendor list, wiring integrations into your GRC or vendor-risk platform, and agreeing internal remediation workflows. The vendor publishes no formal time-to-value commitment.
How is Bitsight priced?
Bitsight does not publish list pricing. Subscriptions are quoted per enterprise and depend on the modules selected, the size of your vendor portfolio and the number of rated organizations. Third-Party Risk Management, Exposure Management and Cyber Threat Intelligence are sold as separate solutions, so a full program usually means bundling more than one. A free risk report on your own organization is available as a no-cost entry point, and a demo or scoping conversation is the only route to a firm number.
Does Bitsight fit our existing GRC and risk stack?
Yes, integration is a deliberate part of the product. Bitsight publishes pre-built integrations with vendor risk management and GRC platforms including ServiceNow, Diligent, Archer, OneTrust, ProcessUnity, Prevalent, Venminder, Brinqa, Aravo, ThreatQ and S&P Global, along with supply chain partners such as Coupa, Interos and SAP Ariba. Data visualisation is supported through Power BI and Tableau, collaboration through Slack and Microsoft Teams, and the homepage states intelligence is also exposed through APIs, data feeds and agent-ready access patterns like MCP.
Is Bitsight SOC 2 compliant, and what about ISO 27001 and HIPAA?
Bitsight states it completes an annual SOC 2 Type 2 report covering controls relevant to security, and makes the report available through a self-service trust portal alongside penetration test results and SIG assessments. It explicitly says it does not hold ISO 27001 certification, although its AWS hosting provider does, and it states the platform is not HIPAA compliant because it does not store or transmit protected health information. It also certifies under the EU-U.S., UK Extension and Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Frameworks and is CCPA compliant.
