The challenge:
An international due diligence technology provider needed a stronger way to help clients assess third-party risk in complex Middle East and Africa (MEA) markets.
As organisations expand into complex and fast-moving markets, risk and compliance teams are under growing pressure to assess third-party risk quickly, accurately and at scale. This is particularly difficult across parts of the Middle East and Africa, where public records can be fragmented, official company information is not always consistently available, and ownership structures may be harder to verify.
The provider wanted to strengthen the enhanced due diligence analysis it delivered to its own clients by embedding reliable regional company data into its platform.
The solution:
Using ClientConnect, Diligencia’s API, the client integrated specialist corporate intelligence into its due diligence platform, giving its users access to verified company information from across the wider Middle East and Africa. This included a growing database covering more than 30 million entities and direct shareholder information – a fundamental component of any due diligence analysis - across 73 countries, including jurisdictions where public registries are limited or inconsistent.
By combining Diligencia’s trusted regional data with AI-powered research and reporting capabilities, the solution helped transform fragmented data gathering into a more streamlined workflow. Risk, compliance and research teams can now build a fuller picture of counterparties, reduce manual investigation effort and produce more consistent due diligence outputs for complex MEA markets.
The result:
The partnership demonstrated how premium regional corporate intelligence enhances third-party risk analysis and makes due diligence more efficient for organisations operating across complex markets. Users now have clearer visibility of corporate entities and ownership information, helping them make faster, better-informed decisions during onboarding, research and risk assessment processes.
For the platform provider, the solution creates a stronger data foundation for client-facing reports and helps position specialist MEA intelligence as a valuable component of enhanced due diligence. For end clients, the result is improved confidence when assessing counterparties in markets where reliable corporate information can otherwise be difficult to obtain and is not generally provided by the major data vendors.
"Fragmented datasets don’t just slow teams down, they carry more risk. By bringing Diligencia's specialist MEA coverage into our platform, our users get richer, more locally accurate corporate data built into every report, so they can make faster, better-informed decisions on counterparties and clients, and focus their attention where the risk lies."
