Evolver Launches CLEAR: Advanced AI-Driven Cyber Risk Assessment Tool for Government and Regulated Industries
RESTON, Va., Dec. 9, 2025 — Evolver, a prominent player in cybersecurity and digital transformation services for U.S. government agencies and Fortune 500 companies, has unveiled CLEAR (Cyber Landscape Exposure & Assessment of Risk), a sophisticated AI-powered solution engineered to conduct rapid, independent cyber supplier risk assessments. This innovative tool aims to streamline assessments while delivering actionable insights that align with established U.S. Federal, state, and industry-specific cyber risk frameworks.
CLEAR is specifically tailored for U.S. federal agencies, the defense industrial base, and sectors requiring stringent regulatory compliance, such as finance and healthcare. The technology modernizes traditional cybersecurity supply chain risk programs, transitioning them from reactively responding to threats to proactively identifying and mitigating risks before they escalate. Notably, CLEAR promises a 90% reduction in assessment time and up to 50% cost savings compared to conventional methods.
“Evolver CLEAR signifies a significant advancement in the management of third-party cyber risks for agencies and enterprises,” stated Gregg Garrett, Chief Operating Officer of CSS, Evolver’s parent organization. “By automating cyber risk discovery on a large scale and providing daily updates, we empower organizations to target risk more efficiently, addressing vulnerabilities more swiftly than ever before.”
Developed in collaboration with WhiteHawk, CLEAR capitalizes on the powerful WhiteHawk cyber risk analytics platform to tackle pressing cybersecurity challenges. The solution enables businesses to evaluate extensive vendor networks quickly, bypassing reliance on self-reported questionnaires and reducing the need for time-consuming manual assessments. It offers near real-time risk analytics within a 48-hour timeframe, a stark improvement over traditional processes that may take weeks and often depend on unverifiable self-assessments.
CLEAR equips organizations with a comprehensive overview of their cybersecurity posture, including the speed of risk remediation and remaining vulnerabilities. This functionality supports critical procurement decisions and compliance pathways for small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) without compromising alignment with standards such as NIST, CMMC, ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, and PCI-DSS.
Leveraging machine learning and artificial intelligence, CLEAR continuously improves its analytics capabilities by drawing insights from various data sources, which are presented through an advanced user interface. Users benefit from an intuitive centralized dashboard that prioritizes risk levels across their supplier networks, backed by validation efforts from Evolver’s cybersecurity services team.
“In contrast to many cyber risk management solutions that focus merely on compliance, our aim is to cultivate an ongoing state of resilience,” remarked Terry Roberts, Founder and CEO of WhiteHawk. “Evolver is a partner who recognizes that a premier solution involves more than mere checkbox compliance; it harnesses the capabilities of next-generation Open Source Intelligence combined with AI-driven analytics to meet evolving customer needs in Third Party Risk Management.”
