Third-Party Risk Ranking Tool
GCSG has developed an excel based risk ranking tool that enables us to assign a risk score to your third parties. The tool can be customized to fit our client's specific business risks. It is a powerful tool to help our clients establish a risk-based due diligence program.
The tool uses our Compliance Risk Index as well as our own internally developed entity specific questions to assign a risk score. The risk score is calculated using our proprietary scoring methodology. Based on the score, the third-party is then assigned a Low, Moderate, or High risk rating.
Due Diligence Reports
Our due diligence reports help you assess the suitability of a potential third-party in your sales or supply channel by screening against all major restricted party lists issued by governments around the world and by conducting local language online adverse media key word searches, litigation searches, and others.
