Vendor risk assessment
without the questionnaires.
Enterprise TPRM platforms cost $25K/year and start with a 90-day procurement cycle. Security questionnaires get stale the day they're returned. BlackSight scans your vendors' public security posture continuously — breach history, SRI compliance, script integrity — and gives you evidence your auditor can actually use.
Every vendor on your site. Monitored continuously.
A typical business website loads scripts from 15-40 third-party vendors. Most operators can name five. We find the rest — and monitor all of them for breach history, code changes, and compliance gaps.
Automatic vendor discovery
We visit your site like a browser and catalog every external domain loading scripts, pixels, fonts, and iframes. No manual inventory — just point us at the URL.
Breach history cross-reference
Every discovered vendor gets checked against known supply-chain incidents and breach databases. If a vendor on your page was compromised in the last 24 months, you see it immediately.
Compliance-ready evidence
Generate vendor inventory reports for SOC 2, PCI DSS 4.0, and ISO 27001 audits. Continuous scanning replaces point-in-time questionnaires with living documentation your auditor can verify.

FAQ.
What is vendor risk assessment?
Vendor risk assessment evaluates the security posture of third-party companies whose code, services, or infrastructure your business depends on. It covers breach history, SSL hygiene, security headers, and script integrity.
How does BlackSight replace vendor questionnaires?
Instead of sending spreadsheets to vendors and waiting weeks, BlackSight scans their public-facing security posture automatically — SSL certificates, security headers, breach history, and third-party scripts — and generates continuous compliance-ready evidence.
Do I need an enterprise TPRM platform?
Most SMBs do not. Enterprise TPRM tools like SecurityScorecard and BitSight cost $25K+/year and are designed for companies with hundreds of vendors. BlackSight provides automated vendor risk monitoring from $29/month for businesses that need the coverage without the procurement cycle.
What compliance frameworks require vendor risk management?
SOC 2 (Trust Services Criteria CC9.2), ISO 27001 (Annex A.15), PCI DSS 4.0 (Requirement 12.8), and NIST CSF all require some form of third-party risk management. BlackSight generates evidence that maps to these controls.
