By mid-2025, SecurityScorecard had established itself as the leading platform for supply-chain cyber risk management. With over 3,000 customers, more than 10 consecutive quarters of revenue growth, and a MAX product growing 370% year-over-year, the company was accelerating. But scaling a security ratings platform into enterprise procurement, finance, and executive reporting workflows required more than product momentum. It required board-level guidance from someone who had operated at that intersection before.
The Strategic Gap at the Board Level
SecurityScorecard's external-signal model was built to measure risk. The next phase of growth depended on connecting those measurements to remediation, embedding the platform deeper into enterprise decision-making, and expanding beyond security teams into the broader workflows that govern how large organizations buy, manage, and report on cyber risk. That required a board director who understood enterprise software at scale, had operated close to IT infrastructure and remediation, and could bring governance discipline to a company moving at high tempo. The wrong appointment at this stage would slow strategic alignment at exactly the moment the market was opening up.
A Search for an Operator-Level Board Director
Christian & Timbers was retained to identify an independent board director with a specific profile: a proven enterprise software executive, deep domain experience in cybersecurity and IT operations, and the governance mindset to support a founder-led company through rapid scale. The firm's analysis identified that boards navigating third-party exposure, cyber-insurance scrutiny, and regulatory oversight need directors who can bridge security signal and enterprise action.
In July 2025, Dan Streetman joined SecurityScorecard's board as an independent director. Streetman was the sitting CEO of Tanium, the autonomous endpoint management platform, bringing firsthand operational control-plane experience that directly complemented SecurityScorecard's external-signal model. Before Tanium, he had served as CEO of TIBCO Software and interim CEO of Allvue Software, modernizing product portfolios and scaling performance across large enterprise environments. His earlier roles at BMC, Salesforce, and C3.ai added further depth across the enterprise software stack. A U.S. Army leadership background contributed a governance mindset built on operational readiness and execution under pressure.
CEO and co-founder Aleksandr Yampolskiy noted at the time of appointment that Streetman had "built and scaled enterprise software companies and understands the operational challenges our customers face."
Three Strategic Contributions That Shaped SecurityScorecard's Direction
Streetman's board contributions centered on three themes that defined SecurityScorecard's growth strategy through 2025 and into 2026.
First, he brought enterprise-scale product judgment. His experience leading large-scale product and go-to-market organizations helped SecurityScorecard link its security-rating signals to procurement, finance, and executive reporting workflows — expanding the platform's relevance beyond security teams into the broader enterprise buying process.
Second, he connected measurement to action. Tanium operates close to remediation and control. Streetman's operational perspective helped guide SecurityScorecard's evolution from a ratings tool into an integrated solution that drives risk reduction, a direction reflected in the company's product roadmap and the HyperComply acquisition.
Third, he injected governance discipline. His military background and experience running global operations in high-consequence environments reinforced SecurityScorecard's capacity to make fast, high-quality decisions during a period of rapid strategic change.
Record Growth Across Every Dimension Following the Appointment
The quarters following Streetman's July 2025 appointment produced the strongest results in SecurityScorecard's history.
- July 2025: Streetman joins the board; MAX product growing 370% year-over-year
- August 2025: SecurityScorecard earns its second Inc. 5000 listing; channel pipeline up 124% year-over-year in H1 2025
- September 2025: Acquisition of HyperComply, an AI-powered platform that makes vendor security reviews 10x faster and reduces workload by 92%
- October 2025: Record quarter reported; triple-digit growth in MAX; 70% competitive win rate, displacing BitSight and Black Kite in six-figure deals; new CRO, CFO, and CMO added to the leadership team
- February 2026: 160% year-over-year ARR growth across the channel program; 126% increase in partner-led pipeline; 35 new partners added; MAX Service Delivery Partner Program expanded globally
Board Placement as a Strategic Lever
Most executive search firms focus on operational roles. Christian & Timbers recognized that at SecurityScorecard's stage, the right board director was as consequential as any C-suite hire. The company needed someone whose operating experience would shape product strategy, accelerate enterprise adoption, and bring credibility to a platform competing in an increasingly crowded market.
With over 2,000 CEO and board placements and 5,000+ C-suite assignments completed across the technology sector, Christian & Timbers identified Streetman as the precise match for SecurityScorecard's board needs. His appointment coincided with a period of strategic acceleration that included a major acquisition, record quarterly performance, triple-digit MAX growth, and channel ARR expansion of 160% — results that reflect both the strength of the company's execution and the quality of the guidance shaping it.
SecurityScorecard enters 2026 as the largest independent provider of cyber risk ratings, with a board now positioned to support its continued expansion into enterprise risk management, insurance, and regulatory compliance markets.
