Founded in 2013 and headquartered in New York City, SecurityScorecard is widely known as the “credit score of cybersecurity.” Its Supply Chain Detection and Response (SCDR) platform helps thousands of organizations—including many Fortune 100 companies—monitor third- and fourth-party risks in real time.

HyperComply, founded in 2019 in Toronto, has quickly made a name for itself by streamlining one of the most time-consuming pain points in vendor management: security questionnaires. Using AI, machine learning, and human verification, the company automates questionnaire responses, builds centralized knowledge bases, and enables secure evidence sharing. HyperComply claims it can cut questionnaire workloads by up to 92% and reduce response times by 70%, a capability that has attracted hundreds of fast-growing SaaS and enterprise firms.

Why The SecurityScorecard-HyperComply Deal Matters

The acquisition combines SecurityScorecard’s continuous monitoring and risk intelligence with HyperComply’s automation technology—creating a more efficient, real-time approach to supply chain risk management. HyperComply’s cutting-edge automation tools address the supplier side of the equation, reducing procurement friction, shortening sales cycles, and improving compliance workflows. By pairing automated evidence management with continuous monitoring, businesses gain more up-to-date/real-time views, end-to-end visibility into vendor security postures—not just static snapshots.

Overall, this merger aims to replace outdated, manual processes with intelligent, automated systems. For enterprises, that means immediate insights across their vendor ecosystem, faster due diligence, and stronger compliance assurance.

SecurityScorecard plans to integrate HyperComply’s technology into its SCDR platform, with combined offerings expected to roll out in late 2025. The goal is clear: deliver a unified solution that not only detects and mitigates risks but also simplifies the way organizations manage and prove security compliance across complex supply chains—a significant leap forward for the industry.
