Black Kite

Our assessment

Where it fits. Scores other organisations from the outside: suppliers, partners and acquisition targets rather than your own estate. It belongs in third-party risk programmes and vendor due diligence.

Watch for. It answers a different question from an intelligence platform, and the two are often confused in procurement. An outside-in rating reflects what is visible from the internet, which is not the same as a supplier's actual security.
