Our teams draw on open-source resources and global human intelligence to perform enhanced due diligence, producing reports and action items tailored to each client's needs.
Our solutions help clients:
Manage Third-party Risk
We research reputations; environmental, social and governance (ESG); and cyber and financial records related to existing and potential relationships, including joint ventures, customers and partners, against sanctions, government watch lists, social media and other applicable databases.
Meet Global Regulatory and Legal Requirements
We help ensure compliance with Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Know Your Customer (KYC), USA Patriot Act, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), and UK Bribery Act regulations.
Mitigate Risks, Fines and Reputational Damage
We help identify and mitigate third-party and transactional, business and reputational risks before they develop into larger issues or trigger fines.
Become or Stay Compliant
We help clients understand the practical frameworks, policies and procedures, systems and controls, and technologies they need to stay compliant with current and evolving regulations.
Increase Peace of Mind
Our researchers manage cases from start to finish, conducting extensive internet, database and media research into a company and its principals to assess backgrounds, status, credentials, professional certifications, legitimacy and reputation.
Respond to Regulatory Reviews and Investigations
We help clients prepare for and respond to regulatory reviews and investigations. We also can undertake reviews at the appointment of regulatory authorities.
