Why Vendor Risk Management Is Critical

Third-party vendors now manage sensitive data, provide core services, and operate within your digital ecosystem. However, they also introduce one of the most overlooked threat vectors in cybersecurity.

With vendor-related data breaches on the rise, organisations need more than annual questionnaires—they need continuous oversight, contextual risk scoring, and proactive risk management.

Sky BlackBox makes that possible.

 

Core Capabilities

 

AI-Powered Risk Assessment

Sky BlackBox evaluates vendor risk using a patented algorithm that combines vendor profile, service criticality, security maturity, and data sensitivity. It calculates both inherent and residual risk levels automatically.

Dynamic Questionnaire Management

Create, send, and manage tailored questionnaires that adjust to each vendor’s role, service type, and data access. Track progress, set expiry dates, and communicate with vendors—all in one place.

 

Real-Time Security Posture Monitoring

Move beyond static reviews. Sky BlackBox enables live monitoring of vendor environments using integrated controls and reporting, alerting you to posture changes and emerging threats.

 

Certification-Based Auto-Response

Vendors can upload certifications like ISO 27001, SOC 2, IRAP or PCI DSS, and the system will automatically populate related questionnaire answers using mapped standards.

 

Vendor Data Leak & Breach Detection

Monitor the dark web and breach databases for exposed vendor information. If a vendor's credentials or sensitive data are leaked, you’ll be notified with actionable insights.

 

Risk Matrix Integration

Use your organisation’s internal risk matrix or adopt preconfigured models such as ISO 27005 or NIST-based scoring. Sky BlackBox adjusts risk outputs accordingly, giving you consistent and meaningful data.

 

Evidence Management & Reporting

Centralise vendor documentation, policies, and certificates in one secure repository. Generate executive reports, audit exports, and risk summaries instantly with full traceability.
