SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--nCircle, the leader in information risk and security performance management, today announced the adoption of nCircle Benchmark by well over 1,000 users. nCircle Benchmark is the first free, community-driven security performance benchmarking service, and is the only industry service providing a standardized measurement of security performance. Participants use nCircle Benchmark to clearly communicate how well their information assets are secured and to compare their performance with industry peers.
“The rapid growth of our community across a diverse group of industries and a growing number of security disciplines demonstrates the confidence the Benchmark community has in the empirical evidence available only through nCircle Benchmark,” noted Jim Acquaviva, vice president of product strategy for nCircle. “We are the only security service providing visibility into best practices and, in the process, we are revolutionizing how security performance is measured and communicated at every level of the organization.”
Because of the difficulties involved in gathering the data, security benchmarking has been limited in scope and available only sporadically to very specific audiences. This limited benchmark data often lacked the critical contextual information necessary to make it relevant to users. nCircle Benchmark changed this dynamic using a patented technology that is secure, anonymous and consistent.
nCircle Benchmark metrics are refined into relevant, actionable performance indicators and visualized into scorecards designed for a variety of audiences, from CISOs to security analysts. These scorecards enable organizations to measure and track their security posture over time and provide a comparison against continuously updated, industry specific Benchmarks and Bellwether Metrics.
