Data Breach Index (DBI)

The Data Breach Index is a Black Kite index that provides a historical performance score based on a company's past data breach events. It measures breach severity using the volume of records compromised and the recency of each incident, giving organizations a clear signal of a vendor's breach track record alongside forward-looking technical ratings.
