Terms of Service
The terms and conditions governing your use of the SignumCyber website and platforms.
Welcome to SignumCyber (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of our website located at www.signumcyber.com (the “Site”), as well as the SignumCyber cybersecurity risk assessment platform and any related products or services we offer (collectively, the “Services”). By executing a subscription agreement, accepting access to the platform, or otherwise using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of our Services.
1. Eligibility & Accounts
Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and authorized to act on behalf of your organization to use our Services. By accessing or using our Services, you represent that you meet these requirements.
Account Provisioning
Platform access is not self-service. Upon execution of a subscription agreement and receipt of payment, SignumCyber will provision your account and provide access credentials. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information as requested during the onboarding process and to update such information as necessary.
Account Security
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You must notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized use of your account. SignumCyber is not liable for any loss arising from unauthorized access to your account resulting from your failure to safeguard your credentials.
Authorized Users
Your subscription may permit multiple authorized users within your organization. You are responsible for ensuring that all authorized users comply with these Terms. You may not share login credentials between individuals or allow access by persons outside your organization without our prior written consent.
2. Description of Services

- Technology-enabled cybersecurity assessments aligned with industry frameworks
- Risk analysis, scoring, and prioritized recommendations
- Cybersecurity plan creation and implementation tracking
- Recommendation completion tracking with estimated and realized impact metrics
- Report generation and export capabilities
- Project management features to drive security posture improvements within your organization

You acknowledge and agree that:
User-Provided Data
Our analysis, recommendations, risk scores, and assessments depend on the accuracy and completeness of the information you provide. We cannot verify or guarantee the truthfulness of your responses. Inaccurate or incomplete inputs will affect the quality and reliability of outputs.
Guidance & Recommendations
Any recommendations, criticality scores, risk levels, estimated impacts, or implementation guidance we provide are directional in nature and serve as general informational guidance only. These outputs are designed to help inform your cybersecurity decision-making but do not constitute professional cybersecurity consulting, legal advice, or a guarantee of any particular security outcome. Actual risk can vary significantly based on your unique circumstances, threat environment, and how you implement any recommended measures.
No Guarantee of Security
Use of our Services does not guarantee that you will avoid cybersecurity breaches, incidents, or regulatory penalties. You remain solely responsible for selecting and implementing security measures appropriate for your organization. SignumCyber is a tool to support your cybersecurity program, not a replacement for professional judgment or comprehensive security operations.
3. Subscription Terms
Subscription Model
Access to the SignumCyber platform is provided on an annual subscription basis. All subscriptions have a minimum term of one (1) year from the subscription start date (“Subscription Term”).
Subscription Fees
Fees for each Subscription Term will be set forth in your subscription agreement or order form. Subscriptions may be offered at discounted rates when paid in advance for the full Subscription Term or longer periods. All payments are processed through traditional banking channels (wire transfer, ACH, or similar bank-to-bank methods). SignumCyber does not accept online payments or process credit card transactions. Specific pricing, discount structures, and payment schedules will be documented in your subscription agreement.
Minimum Commitment
Due to the nature of our Services—which provide ongoing access to assessments, recommendations, scoring, implementation tracking, reporting, and project management tools throughout the Subscription Term—all subscriptions require a minimum one-year commitment. Early termination does not entitle you to a refund of fees already paid or relieve you of the obligation to pay fees for the remainder of the Subscription Term, except as expressly provided in these Terms.
Renewal
Subscriptions will renew automatically for successive one-year terms at the then-current subscription rate unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days before the end of the current Subscription Term. We will provide you with notice of any pricing changes at least sixty (60) days before your renewal date.
Refund Policy
Due to the comprehensive nature of our platform—which delivers immediate access to assessments, scoring, recommendations, and reporting upon account provisioning—refunds are generally not available after your account has been activated. If you have not accessed the platform or used any assessment functionality within ten (10) calendar days of account provisioning, you may request a full refund by contacting legal@signumcyber.com. Refund requests are evaluated at our discretion. No refunds will be issued for partial subscription periods or early termination after the 10-day window.
4. Platform Updates & Service Commitments
Ongoing Updates
As part of your subscription, SignumCyber commits to providing platform updates at least twice per year. These updates may include new or revised assessment questions, updated recommendations, recalibrated scoring, and alignment with changes to applicable cybersecurity frameworks and industry standards.
Framework Currency
SignumCyber maintains alignment with applicable cybersecurity frameworks and adapts the platform’s recommendations, scoring, and assessment content to reflect changes in technology, threat landscape, regulatory requirements, and framework revisions. We do not guarantee that framework updates will be incorporated within any specific timeframe following their publication, but we will make commercially reasonable efforts to keep the platform current.
Service Availability
We will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain platform availability. Scheduled maintenance will be communicated in advance. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation of the Services.
Modifications to Services
We reserve the right to modify, enhance, or discontinue features of the Services at any time. We will provide reasonable notice of material changes. If a modification materially diminishes the core functionality of the Services during your Subscription Term, you may terminate your subscription and receive a prorated refund for the unused portion of your then-current Subscription Term.
5. User Content & Data Ownership

No Warranty
To the fullest extent permitted by law, SignumCyber disclaims all warranties, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
Cybersecurity Incident Disclaimer
You acknowledge that no risk assessment, recommendation, cybersecurity plan, or implementation tracking can guarantee immunity from cyber threats or breaches.

Score and Impact Accuracy

Termination by You
You may elect not to renew your subscription by providing written notice at least thirty (30) days before the end of your current Subscription Term. Your access will continue through the end of the paid Subscription Term. Mid-term cancellation requests will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis; no refunds are guaranteed for mid-term cancellations.
Termination by Us
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services, with or without notice, for material violations of these Terms, suspected illegal activity, non-payment of subscription fees, or any other reason that we determine in good faith requires termination.

Essential Purpose
You acknowledge that these limitations reflect a reasonable allocation of risk and are a fundamental part of the basis of the bargain between you and SignumCyber. The Services would not be provided without these limitations.
