The DetectX® Approach

One check, from the partner to the people behind it.

DetectX® Third Party Due Diligence screens each supplier, vendor, agent or counterparty, and the people who own or represent it, against sanctions lists, PEP lists and adverse media. Every partner gets a risk score, and every match opens an alert your analyst works to a recorded decision.

One party, screened whole. An agent, introducer or intermediary is screened as an entity together with its directors, beneficial owners and shareholders. Every hit lands in one alert queue, and every decision is recorded.

Third Party Due Diligence by Industry

Which industries need third-party due diligence?

Any organisation that relies on suppliers, contractors, agents or partners can take on their sanctions and reputational risk. The checks are the same in every sector: the partner and the people behind it, screened against sanctions lists, PEP lists and adverse media, before onboarding and in every recurring run. What changes is who the partners are.

Key Benefits & Impact

A third party arrives with its people attached.

Agents, intermediaries and introducers are screened with the directors, owners and signatories behind them, before onboarding and on a recurring basis, and every match is worked in the same AlertViewer as your customers.

The Whole Party

A third party is screened with its people attached.

The entity and the persons behind it, its directors, owners and signatories, are screened in the same check, so a match on any one of them surfaces on the party.

Connections between linked subjects

Example data.

The Wider Network

See how far the risk reaches.

From any alert, the persons and organisations around a partner are drawn as one network. Your analyst sees who links to whom, and where the same person stands behind more than one partner.

Before & After Onboarding

Checked before the contract, and for as long as it lasts.

Screened before the agreement is signed, then in periodic runs, on a change of director, owner or address, and on demand.

How Third Party Due Diligence Works

Try it yourself: five steps, from a partner to a recorded decision.

DetectX® screens a partner together with the people behind it, reads what is published about them and draws their connections as one network. Your analyst decides on every match, and the decision is recorded with the partner’s risk score.

Third Party Due Diligence FAQs

What compliance teams usually ask before they choose Third Party Due Diligence.

Something we have not covered?Talk to our team

Third-party due diligence is the check of the suppliers, agents, intermediaries and other partners an organisation works with, and of the people who own or run them, for sanctions, politically exposed persons and adverse media. It applies wherever an organisation can take on a partner’s risk: in financial services, where agents and introducers bring in business, and in sectors such as manufacturing, energy and the public sector. DetectX® Third Party Due Diligence screens each partner and its connected parties, gives every partner a risk score and records every decision.

SolutionName ScreeningIndustryNon-Financial Service Industries

The company itself and the people and organisations connected to it: beneficial owners, shareholders, directors, authorised signatories and representatives. Each is screened in its own right, so a match on a director is found even when the company name is clean.

PlatformName Screening IntelligencePlatformLink Analysis

Sanctions lists, PEP lists and your own lists, with each match scored against the threshold you set. Adverse Media Search also reads what is published about the partner and its people, rating every document for risk and sentiment, and the relevant results are published to the same alert.

SolutionAdverse Media SearchPlatformBusiness Rule Engine

Before onboarding, through online screening as the relationship is set up, and again in every recurring batch run, so a change on a list reaches the partner it affects at the next run. A remediation run can rescreen your whole partner book when you need it, for example after a policy change.

SolutionWorkflowsPlatformProfiling & Scoring

DetectX® screens a partner’s beneficial owners and shareholders as well as the company, so a sanctioned or politically exposed owner is found and raised as an alert. It doesn’t calculate aggregate ownership percentages, so a test such as the US OFAC 50 Percent Rule, which looks at combined ownership by blocked persons, still needs your analyst’s assessment of the ownership structure.
