Use Cases

Transparent Supplier Screening for Safer Procurement

Public sector procurement teams operate under heightened scrutiny, requiring transparency and fraud prevention at every stage. Supplier due diligence helps detect hidden risks, undisclosed ownership, and regulatory breaches among contractors and vendors. Screening suppliers against sanctions, politically exposed persons (PEP) lists, and proprietary risk databases mitigates compliance and reputational risks. Entity mapping tools can uncover hidden relationships and indirect links to high-risk individuals or entities, enabling agencies to safeguard procurement integrity.
