Diligent launched Third-Party Risk Intel, an agentic due diligence and intelligence solution that automates third-party reviews.
The launch builds on the company’s recent acquisition of 3rdRisk, an AI-native third-party risk management solution that gives organizations a clear, near real-time view of their external ecosystem, how critical vendors are performing, and what that means for their overall risk posture.
“Compliance teams are facing a surge in third-party volume across global jurisdictions, with expectations to move faster without compromising defensibility,” says Amanda Carty, general manager of compliance at Diligent. “Third-Party Risk Intel cuts through the noise by mapping ownership structures, screening entities and key individuals, and prioritizing the risks that truly require attention so teams can scale reviews without sacrificing quality or focus.”
Key takeaways:
· Built natively on the Diligent One Platform, Third-Party Risk Intel uses agentic intelligence to plug due diligence directly into third-party risk workflows. Instead of manually stitching together insights from multiple systems, teams get a defensible, end-to-end view of who they’re doing business with, where risk is concentrated and a clear, citation-backed audit trail for every decision.
· Third-Party Risk Intel automates entity resolution, ownership identification and risk synthesis so teams can qualify risk earlier, keep analysts focused on the highest‑risk cases and expand coverage without adding headcount. It delivers measurable efficiency gains and risk reduction through:
- It also instantly identifies the correct entity across alternate names, translations and trade names, eliminating duplicate searches and manual verification.
- And, it screens entities and principals across global sanctions lists, politically exposed persons (PEPs), adverse media and beneficial ownership networks to expose hidden relationships conventional tools miss.
- AI-driven risk synthesis produces a clear triage recommendation with narrative summary, suggested actions and a full audit trail in minutes, giving teams a defensible record of how each decision was made.
- Embedded in GRC workflows, it integrates findings directly into Diligent’s third-party risk suite turning intelligence into immediate action across compliance, risk and audit programs.
- Third-Party Risk Intel is trained on Diligent’s proprietary due‑diligence methodologies, applying investigator‑grade logic to entity resolution, ownership mapping and risk triage.
