Vendor and third-party due diligence that helps procurement and compliance teams make confident decisions before a relationship becomes a risk.
Request a Consultation →Human-led research. Right-sized for the relationship.
Beyond the Questionnaire
Vendor risk can hide in the details a questionnaire does not ask for—or cannot verify. We connect public records, business context, and source-level research to give your team a clearer view of the people and company behind the relationship.
Right-Sized Screening
Three starting points with clear lookbacks — we tailor modules to the relationship (alias/DBA add-ons on Baseline and Deep Dive). High-Stakes uses full available history by jurisdiction.
Core standing check on the name you provide before a vendor enters your ecosystem.

Everything in Baseline, plus deeper research across the signals that shape operational and reputational risk.

Our deepest default scope for critical relationships — including alias/DBA coverage.
Best forCritical suppliers, regulated exposure, elevated risk
Packages are starting points. Baseline, Deep Dive, and High-Stakes Diligence are our default scopes — tell us which signals matter most, and we’ll tailor modules (including alias/DBA add-ons on Baseline and Deep Dive) to your vendors, jurisdictions, and risk priorities. High-Stakes lookback reflects full available history by jurisdiction.
What We Look For
One signal rarely tells the whole story. We look across the record, then connect what matters.
A Repeatable Rhythm
Due diligence works best as a decision habit—not a one-time checkbox.
Set a baseline before access, spend, or trust is extended.
Refresh the picture before the relationship or exposure changes.
Keep material vendors in view as people and circumstances change.
Investigate a new signal before it becomes a larger problem.
Common Questions
Straight answers on scope, lookbacks, and how vendor screening fits your process.
A questionnaire captures what a vendor tells you. Our review looks past self-reporting — connecting public records, business context, and source-level research so your team can see what the form may miss or cannot verify.
Baseline uses a 7-year lookback, Deep Dive a 10-year lookback, and High-Stakes Diligence goes to full available history by jurisdiction. Available records vary by court and data source; we note coverage limits in the deliverable when they matter.
On Baseline and Deep Dive, we search the name you provide and share developed names for awareness; alias / DBA searching is available as an add-on. High-Stakes Diligence includes alias / DBA / related-name searching in the default scope.
Yes. Baseline, Deep Dive, and High-Stakes Diligence are starting points. Tell us which signals, jurisdictions, and risk priorities matter most — we tailor modules (including alias add-ons) to the relationship.
Before onboarding, before major contracts, on a periodic cadence for material vendors, and whenever a new concern arises. Diligence works best as a decision habit — not a one-time checkbox.
Tell us what you need to understand, and we’ll help shape the right level of review.
