Cyber Security Rating and Scoring for Cloud Providers and Vendors

CloudeAssurance is a security rating and assurance platform founded by Taiye Lambo, who also co-founded eFortresses and previously served as chief information security officer for the City of Atlanta. The company operates from Atlanta, Georgia and sells to enterprises evaluating cloud service providers, procurement and risk teams assessing third parties, and organizations preparing for audits. Its product lines cover cloud security management, vendor assurance, cloud assurance, and consumer assurance, alongside a related SaaS-focused service, SecureMySaas.

The platform assesses an organization or a vendor against more than twenty accepted standards and frameworks, among them ISO 27001, NIST, SOC 2, FedRAMP, PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, and DoD DFARS 252.204-7012, then converts the results into a risk, threat, and maturity-based score. Assessments run as automated self-assessments or third-party reviews across a four-phase engagement, and the resulting rating lets customers measure, monitor, and benchmark posture continuously rather than treating compliance as a one-time checkbox exercise.

The company frames its output as a cyber security rating service, closer to a continuously updated score than to a point-in-time audit report, and has published quarterly reports ranking top cloud service providers for cloud consumers. Alongside the platform it offers advisory work including virtual CISO guidance, security strategy, vulnerability management, incident response, and compliance support, with the rating also used to support vendor risk programs and cyber insurance decisions. Gartner named eFortresses and the CloudeAssurance platform a Cool Vendor in risk management and compliance.
