Pan-African Technology Services company quickly scaling across
Africa
Challenge: A 9-figure Pan-African tech provider expanding to several new African countries needed to benchmark its security posture to understand their cyber security gaps, potential financial risk, and areas of noncompliance as they grew. They launched the CyberAlliance Trust Score as a way to quickly identify key areas of need and risk.
Solution: CyberAlliance evaluated the company's Cyber Trust Score results to help them prioritize key control gaps, cyber risks, and market differentiators. CyberAlliance worked with the company to implement and operationalize their recommendations, in turn mitigating financial and reputational risk from a potential breach. CyberAlliance helped the tech company use cyber security to secure more than its current assets, it created a differentiator to drive new public and private sector growth.

Grow By Building Global Trust
The CyberAlliance Cyber Trust Score is an electronically deployed B2B and B2C cyber security risk self-assessment developed to increase the local, cross-border, and global reach of United States and African-based businesses and to reduce cyber vulnerabilities among governments and global organizations.
Despite being developed from and based on global cyber security best practices, the CTS questions have been contextualized to any level of tech experience, whether you are an industry expert or tech novice.
The awareness gained from completing your CTS is designed to help businesses reduce the inherent risks of globalization, increased digitalization, and internet connectivity. Once understood, the CTS can be supported by CyberAlliance's marketplace of global companies offering end-to-end cybersecurity products and services.
As the 1st cyber risk rating system, built that also considers an African context, the CTS is not designed to simply report cyber vulnerabilities. The Cyber Trust Score was created to help African businesses integrate into global supply chains, expand their geographic scale, raise international capital, and ultimately provide businesses and their customers with better protection from cyber criminals.
The Cyber Trust Score is also not a “customer review platform”, its unbiased scoring algorithm is based on verifiable business information and a proprietary aggregation of externally viable data. Scores are contextualized based on size, industry, in-country regulations, and threat intelligence. This data is then aggregated to identify critical points of vulnerability within industries and geographies to develop roadmaps to improve cyber postures.
A growing cyber threat landscape is a global problem. The assertions that 1 in 10 small businesses suffer a cyberattack each year (Insurance Information Institute) and that a cyberattack happens every 39 seconds (University of Maryland) drive the perspective that cyber security ratings and trust scores will soon be as important to the brand of businesses, as personal credit ratings are to consumers.
