Vendor questionnaires, insurance certificates, cybersecurity reviews, and procurement checks all serve an important purpose. But they may not reveal the full public-record, financial, regulatory, or reputational picture.

Vendor and third-party due diligence can look different depending on the relationship, level of risk, and type of organization being reviewed. Below are answers to some of the most common questions about how True Court approaches vendor and third-party risk screening.
Vendor and third-party due diligence is the process of evaluating a company, organization, or business partner before or during a commercial relationship. Depending on the scope, it may include business verification, public-record research, commercial data, litigation history, sanctions screening, regulatory research, adverse media, and review of key principals.
True Court can conduct due diligence on vendors, suppliers, contractors, consultants, professional service providers, franchisees, distributors, strategic partners, acquisition targets, and other third parties involved in a business relationship.
A review may include business identity and registration, ownership and key principals, civil litigation, bankruptcy, judgments and liens, UCC filings, business credit, regulatory and enforcement activity, sanctions and watchlists, adverse media, and other relevant public or commercial information.
Yes. When appropriate, due diligence can be expanded beyond the business entity to include owners, executives, and other key principals. This may include identity research, criminal and civil court records, bankruptcies, judgments and liens, sanctions, PEP screening, adverse media, professional licenses, social media, and other open-source research.
Yes. These components can be included based on the scope of the engagement. Business credit can provide additional financial risk indicators, while sanctions, adverse media, social media, and other open-source research can help identify regulatory, reputational, or integrity-related concerns.
Yes. Not every third party requires the same level of review. True Court can tailor the scope based on factors such as the size and importance of the relationship, access to sensitive information, geographic exposure, reputational risk, regulatory considerations, and other relevant risk factors.
Periodic reviews may be appropriate for higher-risk or important third-party relationships. Additional due diligence may also be considered when there are ownership changes, significant litigation, regulatory activity, financial concerns, negative media, or other developments that may affect the relationship.
Whether you’re evaluating a new vendor, reviewing an existing third party, or conducting
enhanced due diligence on a higher-risk relationship, True Court can build a review around the
level of risk you need to understand.
