PEER · TENB · SOURCED PUBLIC FACTS
Sourced public facts, grouped by the twelve letters, and a machine-check FOUND score. Facts are what the source says; the score is what our code could see.
High confidence: 71% of the points rest on evidence we read ourselves (the site, listing pages, awarders' lists, filings, X data, answer samples); the rest was found by live search or estimated, and is labelled so.
Change since the previous read: none. Read from public evidence; not a judgement of the company.

Size: >$1B revenue ($1.04B trailing twelve months to 2026-06-30; $999M in the fiscal year to 2025-12-31). SEC EDGAR, read 19 Oct 2026. A comparison group, not a score input.

Rank 7 of 20 · peers’ median 76.5 of 100
Tenable ranks 7 of 20 scored companies (tied with 2 others). The peers' median is 76.5 and their range 61 to 87, all of 100. Not ranked, because no score is stored: Zoho. Peers are read at different times; each read date is on the peers table.
The parts of the score furthest below what the method lets them reach, worked out from the evidence shown on this page. Each says what to do and why it moves the score. “Up to” is the most the overall score could rise if that part reached full; it is not a forecast.

Now: Only 3 review family found on this run, so estimated from AI answers and web presence (at most 85% of the part).

Searched 19 Oct 2026, each line tied by Google Search to the review site's own listing page. Our crawler then opens each listing page where the site allows it (robots.txt obeyed, no login, no bot check worked around): a rating read on the page counts in full and replaces the search figure; one only from search counts 0.9 and is marked “from search, page not read”. Business-software sites count fully; consumer sites such as Trustpilot count 0.4. Capterra, GetApp and Software Advice share one pool of reviews and count once. In this read the review part scored 32 of 50.

A listing is read on the awarder’s own page and is not verified by a person, so it counts at most 1 of 5 for Authority (2 for Authenticity, review-based only). “Not found” may mean not seen: most programmes need an entry, and some pages are built by script. Not finding a company never lowers its score. How each programme works is on the awards page; the method is on the score page.
