Our Security Standards

AI adoption without security is a liability. Every Black Knight AI engagement is built on a security-first foundation — protecting your data, your people, and your organization at every step.

Core Principles

Security Is Not an Afterthought

Security by Design

Every AI implementation we advise on is architected with security as a foundational requirement — not a feature added at the end. We evaluate security implications before any tool or workflow is recommended.

Data Minimization

We apply strict data minimization principles to all AI workflows. Only the data necessary for a specific AI function is exposed to AI systems, reducing your attack surface and compliance risk.

Full Auditability

Every AI system we help implement maintains comprehensive audit logs. You always know what data was processed, by which AI system, and what outputs were generated — critical for compliance and incident response.

Compliance-First Architecture

Our frameworks are built to satisfy the most demanding regulatory environments — SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA, and more. We translate complex compliance requirements into practical AI governance policies.

Vendor Security Assessment

Before recommending any AI tool, we conduct a thorough security assessment of the vendor's data handling practices, security certifications, and contractual protections available to enterprise clients.

Human Oversight

We design AI workflows with appropriate human oversight checkpoints. Automated systems are powerful, but critical decisions — especially those with compliance or security implications — require human review.

Regulatory Expertise

Compliance Frameworks We Support

SOC 2 Type II

We help organizations implement AI systems that meet SOC 2 Trust Service Criteria, including security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy controls.

Applies to: Technology companies, SaaS providers, financial services

HIPAA

Our healthcare AI implementations are designed to maintain full HIPAA compliance, with Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) required for all AI vendors handling Protected Health Information (PHI).

Applies to: Healthcare providers, health plans, healthcare clearinghouses

GDPR

For organizations operating in or serving EU markets, we ensure AI implementations comply with GDPR requirements including lawful basis for processing, data subject rights, and cross-border transfer mechanisms.

Applies to: Organizations processing EU personal data

CCPA / CPRA

California's privacy laws impose specific requirements on AI systems that process California consumer data. We build CCPA/CPRA compliance into AI governance frameworks from the start.

Applies to: Organizations serving California consumers

NIST AI RMF

The NIST AI Risk Management Framework provides a structured approach to managing AI risks. We use NIST AI RMF as a foundation for enterprise AI governance programs.

Applies to: Federal contractors, regulated industries, enterprise organizations

ISO 27001

For organizations with ISO 27001 certification or aspirations, we ensure AI implementations align with Information Security Management System (ISMS) requirements.

Applies to: Organizations with formal information security programs
