Product History

SecurityMetrics was founded in 2000 by Brad Caldwell with the goal to test website security.[8] In 2002, SecurityMetrics released its first vulnerability scanning appliance. In 2003 SecurityMetrics released its first hardware device with intrusion detection and vulnerability assessment technology, and conducted its first forensic investigation.

SecurityMetrics was officially named a QSA and ASV by the PCI Council in 2006,[9] and certified as a security assessor for all four major card associations in the United States: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.

In 2008, SecurityMetrics hit the 1 million customer mark and in 2009 the company was officially named a PA-QSA by the PCI Council. In 2010 it released PANscan®,[10] a card data discovery tool. In 2011 the company released a network threat sensor called Vision.

In 2012, SecurityMetrics released a breach protection service intended to help back its users in the event of a compromise with a $100,000 reimbursement for breach expenses.[11] SecurityMetrics also released its new PCI verification and testing program, PCI Focus.

In 2013, SecurityMetrics released a Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act compliance assessment program[12] intended to assist covered entity healthcare organizations in complying with HIPAA Security and Omnibus Final Rule[13] regulations. In May the company also announced an iOS and Android [14][15] app called MobileScan [16] intended to scan payment processing phones and tablets for security vulnerabilities.

In 2015, SecurityMetrics released its HIPAA compliance dashboard[17] that stores the results of a HIPAA risk analysis, risk management plan, and documentation for HIPAA training, and policies in one place.
