    Vendor due diligence · €0.39 per check

    Screen a new supplier for €0.39 — the owner behind it for €14.90.

    A vendor questionnaire is a self-portrait, and most screening tools stop at the name on the invoice. A Quick Check runs the supplier against 51 sanctions sources, 16 criminal watchlists and a PEP domain of 750,000+ records from 134 public sources for €0.39. A Deep Research Report at €14.90 rebuilds the owners, officers and related companies from public sources and gives every entity and every relationship its own source URL.

    What inadequate supplier screening costs

    Three penalties, and in each one the name on the contract was never the problem.

    Selected supply-chain and third-party enforcement penalties

    $1.06B

    Ericsson · 2022

    DOJ found Ericsson paid bribes through intermediaries in Iraq, Djibouti, China, Vietnam, and Indonesia to win telecom contracts.

    What they missed: No one traced who controlled the intermediary companies receiving payments.

    $1.1B

    Glencore · 2022

    Glencore bribed officials across seven countries using a network of third-party agents — none of whom were screened for debarment.

    What they missed: Supplier screening stopped at the named company. The agents behind it were never checked.

    $635M

    British American Tobacco · 2023

    BAT was sanctioned for facilitating exports through a North Korea-linked distribution network embedded in their supply chain.

    What they missed: The distributor had a clean company name. The UBO had a sanctions designation.

    "They all passed a basic name check."

    Sanctions screen — every source, two hits

    p. 02 / 08

    A single-list check would have cleared this vendor.

    OFAC SDN and DGT France both flag Novex Industrial Supplies LLC. One list returns nothing; the 51 sanctions sources in a €0.39 Quick Check return two, one of them a French national designation a US-only screen never looks at.

    2 matches — OFAC SDN (US) and DGT France (FR). Coverage is not a rounding error: it is the difference between two hits and none.

    Ownership trace

    p. 03 / 08

    Who really controls this vendor?

    The company name matches nothing. Three corporate layers down, the ultimate beneficial owner is a different story, and the €14.90 Deep Research Report cites a source URL for every step of the chain.

    Ericsson

    DOJ / FCPA · 2022

    $1.06B

    Ericsson pleaded guilty to FCPA violations for bribing officials in Djibouti, China, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Kuwait through third-party agents in the supply chain. The company had failed to conduct adequate due diligence on intermediaries used to win telecom contracts.

    Supply chain intermediaries

    Glencore International

    DOJ / CFTC · 2022

    $1.1B

    Glencore admitted to a decade-long bribery scheme involving commodity trading agents across Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia. Suppliers and trading partners received corrupt payments funneled through shell companies in high-risk jurisdictions.

    Vendor payment network

    British American Tobacco

    OFAC / DOJ · 2023

    $635M

    BAT's subsidiary allowed a North Korean entity to participate in tobacco supply chains via a third-party partner in Singapore. The counterparty was ultimately controlled by an OFAC-designated entity. BAT's supplier screening failed to trace beneficial ownership.

    The verdict

    p. 05 / 08

    Decision: reject — with the evidence attached.

    Two sanctions hits, a debarment-listed beneficial owner and one adverse-media finding, all of it on the record before the first purchase order. The snapshot is stored as it stood today and never recalculated when a list moves.

    Supplier screening questions

    p. 08 / 08
    01What do I need to screen a new supplier?
    The registered name and the country. Trade names, director names and registration numbers narrow the candidate set and none of them are required to start.
    02What does the €0.39 check cover for a vendor?
    51 sanctions sources, 16 criminal and wanted-person watchlists, and a PEP domain of 750,000+ records from 134 public sources, in one deterministic run. Adverse media is a separate €0.99 check or part of Full Search at €5.90.
    03Do you check who actually owns the supplier?
    The Deep Research Report does, for €14.90. It reconstructs owners, officers and related companies from public sources, gives every entity and every relationship its own source URL, and reports contradictions between sources instead of picking a winner.
    04Do criminal and wanted-person lists cost extra?
    No. They run on every check. Most vendors treat that domain as a separate feed or leave it out, so a supplier who cleared their sanctions screen has not necessarily cleared a police register.
    05How is this different from a vendor self-assessment questionnaire?
    A questionnaire asks the supplier to describe its own risk. A screening checks the supplier against sources the supplier does not control, and stores what those sources said on the day you asked.
    06Can I screen the whole vendor roster at once?
    Yes. Upload CSV or XLSX, or POST /api/v1/batch. Every row bills at the same per-check rate as a single screening, and every row keeps its own evidence PDF.
    07Is the report enough for a procurement audit?
    It reproduces the screening as it stood on the date it ran, source by source, and is never recalculated when a list changes. That is what an examiner asks for. We publish no certifications and claim none.
    08What happens after the supplier is approved?
    Saved suppliers can be re-screened on a schedule. Monitoring is included with monthly plans and is currently in Beta; scheduled runs bill at normal check rates, with no separate watch fee.
