Procurement teams need to quickly determine whether a supplier or business partner presents a level of risk that is compatible with their company’s policies. However, the information required to make that assessment is often scattered across official registers, company databases, legal records, regulatory watchlists, online sources, and internal documentation.

KEA Vigilance centralizes the checks required to qualify and monitor suppliers and third parties.

Based on available company information, the solution can verify a company’s existence and legal status, analyze selected legal events, identify directors and beneficial owners, and assess a range of risk signals including sanctions, asset freezes, Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs), adverse media, and geographic exposure, depending on the scope enabled.

Sixteen automated checks are documented within its third-party assessment tool, while the full platform provides a library of more than one hundred risk indicators.

Results are organized by risk category, assigned scores, and can be used to determine an appropriate due diligence level. Risk mapping can be customized according to the organization’s own criteria, and scores can be recalculated whenever the supplier or third-party profile changes.

KEA Vigilance integrates these controls into KEATIC workflows and user experiences through APIs. The objective is therefore not to add another standalone tool for Procurement teams, but to provide actionable information at the exact point when they need to onboard, contract with, renew, or monitor a supplier.
