Know your vendor's security score before they do

AnalyticsSupportDeveloperSecurityAutomation

SecurityScorecard continuously monitors the external attack surface of any company and translates it into a letter-grade scorecard your team can act on. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can pull live factor scores, manage vendor portfolios, trigger remediation workflows the moment a score drops, and generate compliance reports — all in plain language, all without logging into the platform.

Vendor score drop — zero to remediation in 5 min

When a supplier's SecurityScorecard grade slips, your agent doesn't wait for a weekly review — it fires within minutes. The agent reads the company's full factor breakdown to pinpoint exactly which security dimension triggered the drop, adds the vendor to a dedicated remediation-watch portfolio for tighter monitoring, posts a structured Slack alert to the #vendor-risk channel with the score delta and top failing factor, and drops a follow-up call on the customer-success manager's calendar so no remediation conversation falls through the cracks.

How to plug SecurityScorecard into Actionist

Pick the connection method that suits your environment.

The fastest path to SecurityScorecard data. The MCP server handles authentication through a permissioned API handshake — your agent can read company scores, manage portfolios, and pull reports without managing tokens manually.

1
Open the Apps tab

Find SecurityScorecard in the Apps library and click Connect. MCP is selected by default.

2
Authorise in SecurityScorecard

When prompted, provide your SecurityScorecard API key (available from My Settings → API at platform.securityscorecard.io). The MCP server stores it securely and uses it for all subsequent requests.

3
Test the connection

Actionist runs a read-only call to verify the handshake. You're ready.

FAQs

Questions about SecurityScorecard + Actionist

How do I connect SecurityScorecard to Actionist?
Connect via the Apps tab — select SecurityScorecard, choose MCP (recommended) or API key, and paste in the API key you generate at platform.securityscorecard.io under My Settings → API. Actionist runs a test read to confirm the handshake, and your agent gains immediate access to all company, portfolio, and report actions.
What permissions does the SecurityScorecard API key need?
Your API key needs both read and write scopes to enable all Actionist actions — read-only keys will work for fetching scores and reports but block portfolio writes and report generation. Generate the key from My Settings → API in the SecurityScorecard platform and keep it private; anyone with the key can access every company in your account.
Which companies can my agent score — only ones in my account?
Your agent can fetch scores and factor data for any company SecurityScorecard has indexed, not just vendors you manage directly — so you can score prospects, acquisition targets, and competitors by domain without them being in your portfolio. Portfolio actions (add, remove, list) only apply to the portfolios in your own account.
What are the most common ways teams use SecurityScorecard with Actionist?
The most frequent use cases are automated vendor score monitoring (agent detects a drop and opens a remediation ticket), pre-deal security briefs (agent fetches a prospect's grade before a sales call), quarterly risk reports (agent exports all portfolio scores to a spreadsheet), and compliance evidence packaging (agent downloads reports and files them for auditors) — all triggered by events in other tools without anyone logging into SecurityScorecard.
Does Actionist support SecurityScorecard triggers or only actions?
Actionist supports 7 SecurityScorecard triggers: score dropped below threshold, new breach detected, new finding created, score grade improved, new domain discovered, compliance threshold breach, and watched vendor score changed. You can wire any of these to kick off cross-app workflows — for example, 'score dropped' → fetch factor breakdown → post Slack alert → create remediation ticket.
How does my agent avoid re-generating a report that was just created?
Before calling Generate a report, have your agent call Get list of recently generated reports and check whether a report for the same company domain was produced in the last 24 hours. If one exists, the agent downloads it instead of requesting a duplicate — this avoids redundant API calls and keeps your report history clean.
Can I monitor multiple vendor portfolios with one Actionist connection?
Yes — a single SecurityScorecard connection gives your agent access to all portfolios in the account. Use Get all portfolios to list them, then target specific ones by ID for score sweeps or company additions. There is no per-portfolio credential — the API key is account-wide.
What happens if a vendor's domain changes or they are acquired?
When a vendor's domain changes, update their entry in SecurityScorecard directly — the agent will pick up the new score on its next run. For acquisitions, use Remove a company from portfolio on the old entity and Add a company to portfolio for the acquirer's domain so your monitoring coverage stays accurate through corporate changes.
