Black Kite - Company Profile

Founded in 2016, Black Kite is a Cyber Security and SaaS startup based in the United States. The company's mission is reflected in its slogan, "The Power of Visibility | Third Party Cyber Risk Intelligence." Black Kite addresses a critical need, as one in four organizations has experienced cyber attacks in the past year, leading to significant production, reputation, and financial losses. The startup recognizes that adversaries often target companies through third parties, making it imperative to manage vendor risk effectively.

Black Kite stands out for offering the world’s first global third-party cyber risk monitoring platform, designed with a hacker's perspective. The company has gained traction with over 500 customers worldwide, signaling strong market validation. The recent Series B investment of $22.00M in October 2021, led by Volition Capital, Data Point Capital, Glasswing Ventures, and Moore Strategic Ventures, underscores investor confidence in the company's value proposition and growth potential.

The inherent strength of Black Kite's solution lies in providing the most accurate and comprehensive cyber intelligence, differentiating itself from other security ratings service providers. Notably, the company offers standards-based cyber risk assessments that analyze supply chain cybersecurity from three crucial dimensions: technical, financial, and compliance. With its commitment to enhancing the cyber ecosystem's health and safety, Black Kite is poised to drive significant impact in the cybersecurity space.
