Black Kite Announces FedRAMP® Moderate Ready and Inclusion in FedRAMP Marketplace for AI-Native Supply Chain Risk Management

Federal agencies can now more easily acquire the Black Kite solution to adopt an automated and continuous approach to Cyber Supply Chain Risk Management processes

BOSTON, April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Black Kite, the leader in third-party cyber risk management, announced today the company has achieved FedRAMP^® Moderate Ready status, as designated by the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP). This designation marks an important milestone in Black Kite's journey to full FedRAMP Authorization and positions the company to pioneer the future of third party risk management, by fully automating Cyber Supply Chain Risk Management processes including cyber security vendor assessments.

Black Kite can now also be found on the FedRAMP Marketplace, enabling easier access and faster acquisition of the Black Kite solution. This listing also signals to federal buyers that the Black Kite offering meets the government's strict technology and security standards.

"The landscape of federal supply chain risk management is undergoing a significant transformation, with 'compliance' no longer a static, paper-driven annual event," said Bob Maley, CSO, Black Kite. "The U.S. government is ushering in an era of automated, intelligence-driven, and continuous approach to vendor risk management, and Black Kite is at the forefront. We are thrilled to be featured on the FedRAMP Marketplace as agencies look to top innovators to reduce supply chain risk."

FedRAMP, the federal government's gold standard for security authorization of technology providers, ensures secure services for government agencies. Traditional Supply Chain Risk Management  processes are slow, manual, and resource-intensive, characterized by extensive documentation, lengthy audit cycles, and manual reviews.  This friction demonstrates that the adoption of cutting-edge technologies is crucial to achieve agency missions.
