Overview

At Black Kite, we’re redefining and disrupting traditional vendor risk management with the world’s first global third-party cyber risk intelligence and ratings platform, built from an adversary’s perspective.

We provide intelligence from a technical, financial and compliance perspective: eliminating false positives down to nearly 5%, and ensuring a holistic approach to vendor risk management.

Black Kite is the world’s only fully transparent, standards-based cyber ratings platform, ensuring all users know exactly how their findings are calculated. We map to globally recognized and trusted standards like MITRE and NIST. Our continuously updated global database of risk intelligence provides the confidence to take action, housing data on 34 million companies and counting – 4x that of our competitors. Moreover, every finding we have is correlated to 2 or more data sources, rather than utilized at face value. Black Kite conducts a technical cyber risk rating via easy-to-understand letter grades and defensible data details behind 20+ risk categories and 290 controls. For comparison, the closest competitor offers their users 90 control items.

In addition to an easy-to-understand letter grade rating system, Black Kite is the only SRS tool to quantify risk using Open FAIR™, communicating risk in business terms executives understand. Unlike other cyber rating products, there’s no “secret sauce.” Every third-party cyber risk assessment is standards-based and fully transparent so that all users know exactly how their findings are calculated.
