Compliance

In the Black Kite platform, the Compliance Score is a percentage reflecting how many recognized controls a company complies with out of the total number of controls identified through internet-facing documents, user-uploaded documents, and technical scans. The score increases when controls are found to be compliant, either through document review or technical scan detection. A higher score indicates fewer compliance gaps; a lower score highlights areas that need improvement. It can be calculated across all frameworks or for a specific selected framework.
