Peer benchmarks
See how your security posture compares to peers in your industry, without revealing anyone's data — including yours.
A board question that comes up every quarter: “how do we stack up against our peers?”. Peer benchmarks answer it without leaking information.
What you see
The Peer Benchmark card on your dashboard compares your tenant’s posture metrics against an anonymized cohort: tenants in your industry, sized within the same band, on roughly the same frameworks. You see your value and the cohort distribution (median, quartiles, your percentile).
Metrics include: overall posture score, MFA coverage, evidence freshness, control completion percentage, mean-time-to-mitigate critical risks, and integration depth.
K-anonymity (k=5)
A cohort is only shown if it contains at least 5 other tenants. If your industry and size band combination is too small, the cohort widens (industry only, then size only) until k=5 is met. If no cohort can satisfy k=5, the card hides for that metric.What you don’t see
- No tenant names, ever — yours or anyone else’s.
- No raw values for individual peers. Only aggregate distributions.
- No cohort smaller than k=5. If the math doesn’t support anonymity, the metric simply doesn’t render.
Privacy model
Your tenant’s metrics contribute to the cohort calculations of others — that’s how the benchmark works. But every contribution is rolled up across at least 5 tenants before it leaves the database. No row-level data is exposed to any other tenant’s view.
The benchmark is computed daily as part of the posture snapshot job. Historical comparisons are available in the trend view — you can see how your percentile in your cohort has moved over time.
How to use it
Peer benchmarks are most useful for:
- Board reports — “we are at the 78th percentile for MFA coverage in our cohort”.
- Prioritizing investment — if your evidence freshness is in the bottom quartile, that’s a signal worth acting on.
- Setting realistic targets — your peers’ median is a more honest target than an absolute number.
Don't over-index
A benchmark is a sanity check, not a strategy. Being at the 90th percentile for a metric doesn’t mean you’re safe — it means you’re ahead of your peers, who may all be inadequate. Use benchmarks to spot outliers, not to declare victory.
