Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Bitsight yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated Bitsight across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Twelve models, six prompts per category.

By framing

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Bitsight is the leading External Attack Surface Management (EASM) platform for global enterprises in 2026” Claude Haiku 4.5 · ASM · comparative prompt · first choice

“I'd generally recommend Bitsight Vendor Risk Management as the best default choice” GPT-5.4 mini · TPRM · paraphrase prompt · first choice

“Bitsight or SecurityScorecard – If you need continuous outside-in monitoring of vendor security posture, these are popular choices to add on.” MiniMax M2.5 · TPRM · paraphrase prompt · alternative

“Often cited for "tightest budget" outside-in scores only (no full workflows), but full TPRM is pricier” Grok 4.1 Fast · TPRM · budget prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Enterprise-focused platforms like Bitsight, CyCognito, Cortex Xpanse, and Randori are typically overkill” MiniMax M2.5 · ASM · direct prompt · hard negative

“require $50,000+/year – these are not suitable for limited budgets” MiniMax M2.5 · ASM · budget prompt · hard negative

“Why to be cautious: These tools are excellent for continuously monitoring a vendor's external perimeter ... treating an automated external "letter grade" ... as the complete picture ... is a major mistake” Gemini 3.5 Flash · TPRM · negative prompt · soft negative

“External security ratings tools like BitSight, SecurityScorecard, and UpGuard when you need deep internal context, remediation workflow, or exposure validation” Perplexity Sonar · TPRM · negative prompt · soft negative

A head-to-head page exists where both products are in a category's top three. The other rows are the same fact without a page behind them, so they link to the product instead.

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Bitsight. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 150 of the 168 answers that named Bitsight and are not a share of its labels.

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Bitsight's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Bitsight, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at bitsight.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
