This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.

Rankiteo is a SaaS-based third-party security risk management platform. It was founded in 2021 and is headquartered in Palo Alto, California, United States.

History

Rankiteo was founded in 2021 by Jeremy Canale, an information security specialist, and Maochao Xu, professor and former Director of the Department of Mathematics at Illinois State University.^[1]

In 2025, the company launched a platform providing automated third-party risk scoring and benchmarking to support organizations and insurers in evaluating cyber exposure and underwriting cyber insurance.^[2]

Technology

The Rankiteo platform uses large-scale internet scanning to identify exposed assets, vulnerabilities, and misconfigurations in real time.^{[citation needed]} Its scoring system combines active probing with passive data collection from sources such as DNS, SSL/TLS, vulnerability databases, breach reports, and darknet monitoring. The results are aggregated into a cybersecurity score ranging from 0 to 1000.^{[citation needed]}
