Go beyond questionnaires and self-declarations. Neotas analysts investigate the ownership, conduct and connections behind your third parties, so you know who you are dealing with before you sign, renew or pay.
“Neotas searches go deeper than traditional due diligence checks by ‘spidering out’ across the entire internet and their proprietary AI technology helps them analyse vast quantities of data at speed.”
“They were incredibly thorough, and the way the information was presented made it easy to assess risks and manage for the production.”
“Neotas present investigative findings in an easily digestible format. They are responsive to our business requirements and flexible in the way they approach our engagements.”

Your risk sits in relationships you rely on but do not control. We investigate the company, the people who own it and the people who run it.
Raw material, component and contract manufacturing suppliers. Ownership, insolvency, litigation, and labour or environmental controversies.
Sales agents, consultants, customs brokers and introducers. Links to government officials, PEP exposure, bribery allegations and unusual payment arrangements.
Before you appoint or renew. Who owns them, sanctions exposure, market reputation and past disputes.
The partner, its beneficial owners, directors and connected companies, before you share revenue, liability or your name.
Outsourced, logistics, facilities and technology providers. Fraud, misconduct and integrity concerns.
Anyone who trades on your brand or represents you in a market.
A low-risk office supplier and a sales agent dealing with government officials should not get the same check. Our three enhanced due diligence report levels let you scale depth to risk.

Continuous risk oversight
A report is a snapshot. Third parties change owners, pick up lawsuits and make headlines after you sign. Monitoring keeps the picture current.
