Strategic integration delivers real-time vendor risk insights, strengthening enterprise GRC programs
CONNECTICUT: August, 2025 — TruOps, a leading multi-tenant Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) platform, today announced a strategic partnership with Black Kite, a top provider of third-party cyber risk intelligence. This collaboration empowers organizations to proactively identify, assess, and mitigate cyber risks posed by vendors, transforming reactive security practices into actionable, risk-informed decision-making.
The integration embeds Black Kite’s industry-leading cyber ratings into TruOps’ third-party risk management module, delivering real-time visibility into vendor vulnerabilities, security posture, and emerging risks. Executives and risk leaders can now communicate risk findings in clear, quantifiable terms that align with strategic business priorities.
“At TruOps, we recognize that every organization’s GRC journey is unique,” said Jeff Tso, Chief Executive Officer at TruOps. “Our platform is built to scale with evolving needs—from initial assessments to mature risk programs. Integrating Black Kite enhances our third-party module with cyber intelligence that’s not just technical, but actionable for business leaders.”
Unlike traditional heat maps and manual assessments, this integration introduces automated, continuous risk monitoring and prioritization—enabling organizations to identify the vendors that pose the greatest threats and act before issues escalate.
“Our mission is to make cyber risk understandable and measurable for everyone,” said Bob Maley, Chief Security Officer at Black Kite. “TruOps’ advanced risk assessment tools are a natural fit for our security ratings. Together, we’re helping organizations scale their third-party risk programs and better communicate risk to stakeholders with clarity and precision.”
The partnership arrives at a significant moment for TruOps. Under the leadership of new CEO Jeff Tso and COO Mohit Lal, the company has introduced powerful audit enhancements that break down silos between risk, compliance, and audit teams—supporting a unified, enterprise-wide GRC strategy.
TruOps was recently named a Strong Contender in the SPARK Matrix™: Governance, Risk and Compliance Platforms, Q2 2025, in recognition of its innovation, agility, and commitment to customer success.
