Black Knight Risk Management helps regulated firms and government agencies govern technology to advance the mission, strengthen resilience, and reduce digital risk.
Agencies rarely fail because they lack technology. They fail because nobody governed it. Controls exist but are not owned. Risk assessments are performed but not used. Vendors are onboarded faster than they are monitored. When an inspector general, an auditor, or an adversary arrives, the gap between what the agency believed and what it can evidence becomes the finding.

How This Work Can Be Awarded
Certifications are procurement mechanisms, not marketing claims. They change how a contracting officer is permitted to award work. The pathways below are available depending on the requirement and the agency.
Sole Source Award
A contracting officer may award directly to a HUBZone or SDVOSB firm without competition when the requirement falls within the applicable threshold and the officer reasonably expects a fair price. This converts a working relationship into a contract without a full proposal cycle.
Set-Aside Competition
Requirements may be reserved for HUBZone or service-disabled veteran-owned competition. The field is smaller and the evaluation is focused, which shortens the path from solicitation to award.
Price Evaluation Preference
In full and open competition, a HUBZone small business receives a price evaluation preference against large business offerors. The preference does not apply against other small businesses.
Subcontracting Credit
Prime contractors carry HUBZone and service-disabled veteran-owned subcontracting goals. Adding Black Knight to a team improves goal attainment while adding governance and regulatory depth to the technical volume.
If you are working a requirement that could be met through a HUBZone or SDVOSB sole source or set-aside, that is a direct conversation worth having early. Contracting officers are not obligated to volunteer the pathway, and it is simpler to scope before a solicitation is written than after.
Four Segments, One Discipline
The problem named first changes with the buyer. The underlying work does not.
Federal Financial Regulators and Supervisory Bodies
Clients know the difference between someone who has read the handbook and someone who has applied it. Black Knight understands the supervisory process as a regulator rather than a subject, having scoped examinations, reached conclusions, and written them up at both the state and federal level.
That means examination mechanics described accurately, frameworks named precisely, and no overclaiming about what a finding does or does not require.
- Examination process support
- IT and cyber supervision quality
- Third-party risk
- AI oversight in supervised entities
- Examiner training and workforce development
Civilian Agencies
Civilian agencies are moving to cloud, adopting artificial intelligence, and consolidating systems while operating under continuing resolution pressure and inspector general scrutiny. Governance is what makes modernization survivable.
Lessons from financial supervision transfer directly, because financial regulators have been governing exactly these risks, third-party dependency, model risk, resilience, and executive accountability, for considerably longer.
- Cloud governance
- AI governance
- Operational resilience
- Third-party and supply chain risk
- Executive reporting
Department of Defense
Our founder is a West Point graduate and commissioned Army officer in air and missile defense who managed a defense technology program of roughly fifty personnel and a portfolio valued near one hundred million dollars. Accountability under consequence is where this practice started.
That background makes the conversation about readiness, continuity of operations, and command accountability rather than compliance vocabulary that does not travel.
- Mission assurance
- Program governance
- Cyber survivability of enabling systems
- Risk decisions at the command level
New York State and City
Black Knight is Brooklyn-based, holds New York State SDVOB and MBE certification, and our founder examined New York state-chartered institutions as an IT and cybersecurity examiner with the Department of Financial Services.
For state and city procurement, the New York certifications are the ones that apply. Federal HUBZone and SDVOSB credentials do not transfer to state purchasing authority.
- State agency technology governance
- Municipal AI adoption and policy
- Cyber readiness for public entities
- Workforce education
What We Strengthen on a Team
Black Knight is an executive advisory practice, not an implementer and not a staffing firm. On a team, we supply the governance and regulatory depth that makes a technical bid credible to the people evaluating it.
We do not compete against the prime for the same scope, and we sign teaming paperwork promptly.
- HUBZone and service-disabled veteran-owned subcontracting goal credit
- Governance, risk, and compliance depth on technical volumes and management approach
- Key personnel qualifications: former Senior IT and Cybersecurity Examiner with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, CISSP, CISA, CRISC, CCSP, ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 42001 Lead Auditor
- AI governance capability under ISO/IEC 42001, for requirements that touch artificial intelligence adoption or oversight
- Cybersecurity awareness, exercise, and workforce development scopes through structured executive education programs
- Independence: no hardware or software resale, and no vendor commissions that would compromise the objectivity of the advice

Government Inquiries
For sources sought responses, requests for information, capability briefings, industry day scheduling, or teaming discussions, reach out directly. Short and factual is fine. If you are working a specific requirement, naming the agency and the vehicle in the subject line speeds up the reply.
