Enabling Secure Connectivity for Customer-Driven Agentic TPCRM

AI is being rapidly adopted across every department in the enterprise as a strategy for efficiency, scale, and faster decision making. Teams are moving from AI copilots to agentic workflows that can automate tasks, orchestrate processes, and deliver real outcomes with minimal human intervention.

As AI is becoming embedded across core enterprise workflows, Third-Party Cyber Risk Management (TPCRM) is uniquely positioned to benefit from agentic scale and automation.

Moving Toward Autonomous TPCRM 

TPCRM programs sit at the intersection of security operations, vendor oversight, incident response, compliance, and executive reporting. It requires deep investigations and ongoing assessments that have traditionally been manual, time intensive, and resource heavy - often limiting an organization's ability to fully understand the risk their vendors pose. Agentic workflows and automation create a clear opportunity to scale these programs while improving speed, consistency, and risk intelligence-driven decision making.

With the release of Black Kite’s AI Agent last year, Black Kite delivers native agentic workflows to automate complex TPCRM investigations, assessments, and reporting. However, many customers and service providers already have their own AI agents, preferred orchestration platforms, and custom workflows tailored to their business - making secure, flexible connectivity to Black Kite's risk intelligence an essential component to their TPCRM program and strategy.

Why Connectivity Matters Now

Enterprises are no longer asking if they will use AI agents, they are focused on how to operationalize them securely, flexibly, and at scale across every department - especially in security. 

Managed Service Providers are also rapidly adopting AI agents and orchestration toolchains to accelerate and scale service delivery. For MSPs, AI is becoming a competitive requirement.

It’s clear: enterprises and MSPs are building their own AI ecosystems, moving toward agentic workflows, making connectivity has become more important than ever.

Introducing Black Kite's MCP Server

Black Kite is expanding its AI-native TPCRM platform with the release of its open MCP Server for agentic workflows.

With Black Kite's MCP Server, customers and service providers can securely connect their own AI agents and orchestration toolchains to Black Kite’s platform and data - enabling scalable third-party cyber risk investigations, assessments, and reporting within their existing AI ecosystems.

This release reinforces Black Kite’s position as an AI-native TPCRM platform, while expanding support for customer-defined agentic workflows.

Black Kite’s MCP Server:

• Enables customers to operationalize their own AI agents in TPCRM
• Delivers secure, standardized connectivity to the industry’s most trusted risk intelligence 
• Accelerates efficiency, scalability, and decision-making across TPCRM programs
  

How It Works

Black Kite's MCP Server introduces a standardized, open protocol that securely connects AI agents, agent builders, and orchestration platforms to Black Kite’s product intelligence.

This enables faster deployment, easier integration, and accelerated adoption of agentic workflows using the tools and platforms customers already rely on.

Black Kite’s MCP Server is compatible with leading agent builders and orchestration tools, including n8n, OpenAI Agent Builder, Claude, Zapier, Cline, Microsoft Copilot, and more.

Example Customer Workflows Enabled Through Black Kite’s MCP Server

By integrating with Black Kite’s MCP Server, organizations can automate and scale high-impact TPCRM workflows to accelerate triage and investigation, vendor outreach, and remediation. Some workflow examples include:

• Vendor Ecosystem Analysis: Analyze an entire vendor ecosystem and generate a report highlighting the highest-risk vendors and the key risks that need to be addressed.
• High-Fidelity Alerting: Receive FocusTag® and Ransomware Susceptibility Index® (RSI™) notifications from Black Kite and automatically enrich each alert with all known incident details.
• Custom Report Building: Generate prioritized reports on an organization's most critical first and third-party risks.
