Vendor due diligence

Secure your supply chain.

Third-party risk starts with who you work with. Screen vendors, subcontractors, and partners before they get access to your systems, data, or clients.

Supplier due diligence

How do I check a supplier and its directors?

Run a business check on the company and a person check on each director and beneficial owner, then keep both under monitoring. In Scaut you enter the supplier’s name or registration number, and the platform verifies the company in the commercial register, maps its ownership and screens the company and its people against EU, UN and OFAC sanctions lists, PEP lists and adverse media.

You get one risk-rated vendor report. Automated sanctions and watchlist results return in seconds, and you pay as you go from the free Basic plan (1 credit = €1 excl. VAT, see pricing).

  1. Verify the company

    Registration, legal address, status, ownership structure and ultimate beneficial owners, with shell company indicators flagged.

  2. Screen directors and owners

    Sanctions, PEP and adverse media checks on every director and beneficial owner, using the same KYC screening you use for clients.

  3. Check financial health and country risk

    Financial health from registry data, plus jurisdiction risk scoring with tiered rules for high-risk countries.

  4. Monitor after approval

    Set recurring checks so changes in sanctions status, ownership or adverse media trigger an alert. This supports the supply chain security duties in NIS2.

Vendor onboarding screening

Run structured due diligence checks on every new supplier before they’re approved. Reduce third-party risk before contracts are signed.
