About BlackStork #
The communication stack is broken. #
Over the last decade, the cybersecurity industry has heavily modernized its defense stack. Security operations teams are equipped with advanced SIEMs, automated response tooling, and highly tuned detection pipelines.
However, the communication stack has not evolved. Security is no longer just a technical function; it is a heavily regulated, board-level imperative. Today, enterprise security teams rely on an average of 75 siloed tools. To explain business risk to the C-suite, provide actionable intelligence to operational teams, or prove compliance to auditors, highly-paid analysts must manually collate data from these silos and format it in static documents.
This process is broken. It drains resources—regularly consuming over 20% of an analyst’s week—creates reporting bottlenecks, and limits organizational visibility. With strict, time-sensitive regulatory mandates like the SEC Form 8-K, DORA, and NIS2 taking effect amidst a severe talent crunch, manual reporting is no longer a viable operational strategy.
Focus on the message, not the formatting. #
BlackStork was built to fix the translation problem in cybersecurity. We believe analysts should spend their time hunting threats and analyzing risk, not acting as administrative scribes.
By combining automated, API-driven data collation with controlled, AI-assisted narrative generation, we allow security teams to reduce their reporting overhead by more than 50%. Our goal is to provide the infrastructure necessary to establish a high baseline of quality, consistency, and speed in mission-critical communications.
Built by domain experts. #
BlackStork was founded by Sergey Polzunov, a software engineer with over 18 years of experience, including a decade focused strictly on cybersecurity tooling.
Prior to building BlackStork full-time, Sergey engineered security solutions at Elastic. His technical background spans the development of threat intelligence platforms, DFIR tooling, detection engines, and high-volume security data processing pipelines.
Having experienced the friction of scattered security data firsthand, Sergey built BlackStork to provide the reporting infrastructure that modern security operations and compliance teams actually need.
Build the roadmap with us. #
We are currently onboarding a select group of security teams dealing with high-volume or high-complexity reporting to join us as Design Partners. Partners receive white-glove support and have direct input into the product roadmap.
