Where and how do you source your data?
Data is primarily sourced from publicly available information, including a company’s own disclosure and reporting, proxy statements, reputable news, governmental and international institutions, recognised international or local non-governmental organizations, and non-biased subscription databases such as the CDP.
During the ESG Corporate Rating process, considerable importance is attached to the dialogue with the company under evaluation. Every other year, we provide companies with the opportunity to comment on and add to the provisional findings by submitting a draft rating report to the company for revision. After the period of consultation, the report is finalized, integrating the comments and additions that are deemed appropriate by the analyst in charge of the rating.
Cyber Risk Score
The Score is based on a combination of compiled information sourced from third parties (such as HG Data Insights and SpamHaus), as well as a deep database of historical cyber risk data (7 years), and proprietary information gathering across the entire global internet addresses. This ensures a deep pool of information for research, allowing for scores to be generated for companies and organizations worldwide. The continuous collection of data on all organizations ensures the ability to assess the long-term behavior of the subject organization from the moment the score is requested.
EVA
EVA data is typically derived from company filings, as well as ongoing event-driven data updates as reflected in public disclosure, press releases, and company websites. In addition, ISS subscribes to several critical, paid data services that are also factored into the EVA analysis.
