Cloud-based Security Performance Metrics, IT Scorecards and Industry Benchmarks
nCircle Benchmark is a revolutionary service that delivers security and compliance scorecards, security metrics and industry benchmarks for measuring an organization’s performance against internal goals and against the performance of industry peers. The service is the first publicly available benchmark service enabling performance measurement and comparison of an organization’s vulnerability management, patch management, configuration auditing, identity and access management, anti-virus and endpoint protection programs against industry benchmarks that are continuously updated by the organizations themselves.

- Systematic metric model ensures consistency of results
- Highly secure architecture ensures all data is aggregated and privacy is assured
- Cloud-based solution is cost effective for organizations of all sizes

How It Works
nCircle Benchmark offers several Metrics Packs, made up of metrics, scorecards and data adapters. Users sign up for metrics packs and download small data adapters for their specific security products. The data adapters use standard APIs to retrieve data from the various security products, aggregate the data and calculate the metrics, all on customer premise. The data adapters then send the metric results to the user’s account in the nCircle Benchmark Cloud service. There, the metrics are aggregated into scorecards and benchmarks.

Seamless Integration with nCircle Suite360
nCircle Benchmark is a perfect complement to Suite360, as it can utilize data from IP360, Configuration Compliance Manager and/or Suite360 Intelligence Hub. nCircle Benchmark offers metrics and scorecards across a breadth of security products, including non-nCircle products, and the industry’s first benchmark capability.
