SecurityScorecard C&C Threat Detection

Hi

Has anyone come across traffic to 208.100.26.245, which Shodan identifies as securityscorecard.com, being detected and identified as CnC threat traffic by a Fortigate? They appear to be one of those security companies that actively scan the Internet, looking to drum up business.

 

I've messaged them to ask for a please explain, but I'm curious as to the Fortinet rating of this traffic, and wondering if anyone else has come across this?

Is there any way to dig deeper into the rating the Fortigate has assigned this traffic? Shodan says the IP belongs to securityscorecard.com, so I'm curious as to why the Fortigate tagged this as CnC when they seem to be a legit security company.
