Supplier Radar
The active Black Kite Alternative
While black kite is strong at external scores and loss curves, most teams are still left with the same question: who is going to fix the issues behind the number. Supplier Radar is the active Black Kite Alternative that ingests those signals, checks them against your controls and contracts, and turns real issues into vendor tasks with owners and due dates.
Where Third-Party Risk Programs Break Down
Survey data from Fortune 500 security and procurement leaders on what's broken and what comes next.
Why Black Kite Competitors stop at the score
Most black kite competitors follow the same pattern: outside-in scanning, long issue lists, and no link to your actual environment. Security teams spend time explaining why a red flag does or does not matter, instead of closing gaps.
When risk leaders compare black kite competitors, what they actually want is a way to connect ratings to business context and workflow. Supplier Radar does that by treating the score as an input, not the destination.
Key capabilities
Everything you need for Cyber Risk Quantification and response
Cyber dashboards will always matter to the board. The missing piece is what happens next. Supplier Radar keeps cyber risk quantification for reporting, then uses it to drive day-to-day work in your third party risk management program so exposure actually goes down over time.
1
Continuous monitoring with contextual signals
Connect Black Kite, other external feeds, threat intel, and internal logs. Supplier Radar normalises alerts, ties them to real vendors and assets, and keeps only relevant items in the queue. Cyber risk quantification numbers stay backed by live, verified data.
2
Control- and contract-aware triage
Each issue is checked against your control library, data classification, and commercial terms. The system answers “does this touch regulated data and violate what we agreed” before it reaches an analyst.
3
Automated events and response
Confirmed findings become tasks in Slack, Teams, or your ticketing tool. Supplier Radar follows up with vendors, tracks evidence, and updates status automatically, so security and procurement see the same picture.
Benefits
Better value than Black Kite Pricing
Teams already paying Black Kite Pricing want more than charts. Supplier Radar turns that spend into concrete outcomes by pairing the signal with assignment and follow-through.
Noise reduced at the source
Irrelevant alerts are filtered out before they hit the team. You see the few vendor issues that intersect critical systems, not every minor scan change.
Faster remediation cycles
Owners get a specific action, context, and due date. You track time to remediate instead of just time since alert.
Clear vendor conversations
Ratings, contracts, and usage sit in one view. You can show a supplier exactly which obligation is impacted and what you need them to change.
Auditable third-party oversight
Every alert, decision, and vendor response is logged against the supplier record. Reporting to audit or the board is based on a clean trail, not a manual spreadsheet.
