Know Your Vendor
Clarity on Third-Party Risks
The vendors and subcontractors you rely on often hold the keys to your infrastructure, data, reputation, or personal security — and when something goes wrong, the consequences fall on you, not them.
Know Your Vendor is an intelligence-led, analyst-driven program that delivers targeted due diligence at onboarding and throughout the relationship, surfacing reputational, financial, and legal red flags and keeping you alert as a vendor's risk profile shifts over time.
What Know Your Vendor Covers
- Legal & Regulatory — Litigation, enforcement actions, and regulatory history that signal trouble ahead.
- Financial Health — Financial stress, solvency concerns, and the signs a vendor could fail when you rely on them.
- Reputation & Conduct — Adverse media, public controversy, and the pattern of past behavior that references rarely show.
- Ownership & Affiliations — Beneficial owners, hidden affiliations, and undisclosed relationships — including conflicts and sanctions exposure.
How Know Your Vendor Works
1
Risk-Based ScopingWe calibrate the depth of diligence to vendor type, access level, and sensitivity — whether a vendor is new or being reviewed for the first time.
2
Analyst-Led InvestigationStructured research across the risk dimensions that matter, producing decision-ready insight, not raw data.
3
Ongoing MonitoringVendors are watched continuously for lawsuits, reputational issues, ownership changes, and regulatory actions, surfaced through open-source intelligence.
4
Actionable AlertsWhen a vendor's risk profile shifts, you get timely, contextualized alerts to guide escalation, re-evaluation, or disengagement.
