Black Kite delivers AI-powered vendor risk assessments that provide accurate security insights in hours, not weeks, automating the end-to-end process from doc parsing and review to control mapping and gap analysis.
You can't afford blind spots when onboarding new vendors. One misstep can expose your organization to ransomware, data breaches, and compliance headaches. But traditional vendor risk assessments are broken.
Traditional cyber assessments take weeks to months, rely on self-attested vendor responses and manual evidence review, and often don’t give you an accurate, up-to-date view of risk. That delay slows down business without an immediate view of risk.
Get fast, accurate risk insights that transform your vendor evaluation process with AI-powered vendor risk assessments.
Black Kite evaluates vendor security using live threat data and external cyber risk intelligence, not self-reported questionnaires vendors can manipulate. Non-intrusive scanning assesses publicly visible attack surfaces, security configurations, and known vulnerabilities without requiring vendor credentials.
You see objective evidence of real risks: open ports, expired certificates, unpatched vulnerabilities, breach intelligence, and supply chain exposures. Complete assessments in hours or days instead of weeks, with accuracy manual processes can't match.
Black Kite uses open frameworks (like NIST Cybersecurity Framework, MITRE ATT&CK, and CVSS) to deliver transparent, defensible vendor security ratings. Unlike black-box scores, our methodology shows exactly which controls are affected, how vulnerabilities are scored, and what evidence supports each finding.
Every rating includes framework mappings, severity classifications, and prioritized remediation recommendations. This level of transparency matters when justifying vendor decisions to boards, explaining risk acceptance to CISOs, or demonstrating due diligence to auditors and regulators.
Black Kite uses Open FAIR™ risk quantification to translate vendor cyber risk into probable financial impact. Instead of vague "high risk" labels, you can present quantified exposure: "This vendor introduces $X million in potential breach costs based on their data access and industry breach patterns."
This approach enables smarter budget allocation, risk-informed vendor selection, and defensible risk acceptance decisions. Executives gain the financial context required to make informed decisions about vendor relationships.
AI-powered document parsing analyzes vendor security policies, SOC 2 reports, and trust center artifacts in minutes, not weeks. Black Kite automatically extracts controls, maps evidence to 20+ global frameworks (NIST, ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR), identifies control gaps, and generates assessment summaries with prioritized findings.
What traditionally takes 15-20 hours per vendor is completed in under 30 minutes. Teams focus on risk decisions, not manual document review.
