Black Kite and Sayari have partnered to give organizations a clearer view of third-party risk across cyber, supply chain, and corporate networks. The partnership brings Sayari’s corporate ownership, trade, and commercial relationship data into Black Kite’s third-party cyber risk management platform. This partnership will help customers understand both who a third party is connected to and how exposed that entity may be from a cyber perspective.Third-party risk is becoming harder to manage across global supply chains. Organizations still rely on separate tools and teams to evaluate cyber exposure, ownership structures, supplier dependencies, compliance concerns, and geopolitical risk. That creates gaps, especially when risk sits several layers deep in the supplier ecosystem. By combining corporate network intelligence with continuous cyber risk monitoring, Black Kite and Sayari are trying to make that picture easier to read and act on.For security and risk teams, the value is in reducing manual research and connecting signals that often sit apart. The combined solution is aimed at use cases such as enhanced due diligence, supply chain risk management, financial crime and compliance, government and national security work, M&A, and third-party onboarding. This means teams can look at ownership links, upstream supplier dependencies, trade activity, cyber posture, and threat exposure in one assessment flow instead of piecing together separate reports.For MSSPs and risk advisory partners, this points to where third-party risk management is heading. Customers are asking for more than vendor questionnaires and periodic checks. They need continuous visibility into cyber exposure and the business relationships that can widen risk across their extended enterprise. Integrations like this give providers a way to support deeper supplier risk assessments, faster investigations, and more informed prioritization when customers are managing large, complex vendor ecosystems.
