Background Check
Pre-engagement risk and supply-chain investigation｜Guard the first gate before signing the contract
Three Core Pain Points
More security incidents now originate from partners, not from inside. When you entrust data, systems, and supply chain to others, do you really know them?
Supply Chain Risk
Software supply-chain attacks, upstream vendor leaks, and hidden tier-2 supplier links can become the biggest gap in your security.
Pre-Engagement Due Diligence
Without sufficient due diligence prior to M&A, JV, or technology licensing, you may inherit hidden legal, financial, and reputational risks.
Hidden Ownership & Sanctions
Real beneficial owners hidden via offshore layers and nominees, or partners with substantive links to international sanctions lists.
5 Investigation Areas
Ownership Structure
Full visibility into parent/subsidiary, holding relationships, SPVs, and trust structures.
