Proactive Risk Management Through Clear Supplier and Customer Insights

To uphold strong governance and compliance standards, corporates must assess financial, legal, and reputational risks across their supplier and customer networks. Traditional risk assessments often overlook hidden ownership structures or indirect connections to high-risk entities. By leveraging entity-level data and relationship mapping, businesses can identify risks proactively—both at the point of onboarding and during periodic reviews. This approach helps ensure compliance with anti-corruption, procurement, and broader risk management policies.

Workflows

Customer Due Diligence (CDD)

Conduct onboarding and periodic risk reviews of customers and suppliers. Assess ownership, leadership, and sanctions exposure to flag entities linked to watchlists or other high-risk indicators.

Supplier Risk Assessment & Network Mapping

Map supplier ownership and control layers to uncover indirect exposure to risky entities. Detect shell companies, nominee shareholders, and circular ownership to ensure supplier diversity and integrity.

Ongoing Monitoring

Continuously monitor for changes in customer and supplier risk. Receive alerts on new sanctions, adverse news, or shifts in ownership to enable timely intervention.
