Security That’s Measurable, Actionable, and Competitive
Start Left®'s Risk Score: The Security Maturity Benchmark That Drives Growth
Traditional security scores focus on external risk visibility—but real security starts inside.
Start Left®'s Risk Score unifies ASPM, SSCS, and SBDE to measure what matters: how well security is adopted, executed, and continuously improved.
Why Risk Scoring Matters:
Prove Security, Win Trust
Unify Security Across Teams & Products
One score that reflects real security maturity, across development, supply chain, and governance.
Prove Security Maturity for Customers & Investors
A high score isn’t just compliance—it’s a market advantage.
How the Risk Score Works
The Start Left® Risk Score goes beyond static risk ratings—it’s a living security maturity index that evolves with your teams and products. Your Risk Score evolves over time, rewarding continuous improvement and providing a clear path to security maturity.
