Why it's important to know your vendor

With changing regulations and technologies, it is important to know and trust who you work with is in good standing. You may experience issues currently such as disconnected and inaccurate data, budget and personnel restraints, and restrictive workflows that prevent you from effectively completing your vendor identification program. With Thomson Reuters CLEAR, conduct identity verification, risk analysis, adverse media review and flag vendors for further investigation in minutes instead of hours.

How it works

Manage front-end risk by leveraging the most current and accurate data with immediate risk insights

Verify vendor identity for accuracy of information, minimize potential for fraud, and meet regulatory requirements while automating your risk analysis. Identify any risk associated with the vendor you are investigating, such as arrests, bankruptcies, sanctions, synthetic identity, and more. Receive a score that immediately identifies if the vendor carries too much risk aligned with your risk tolerances.

Safeguard your organization’s reputation, time and resources

Utilize a defined adverse media screening policy for fraud prevention, with web and news media pertaining to a specific subject while providing a relevancy rating so your organization can be aware of potential risk as it develops. Leverage machine learning AI technology to remove duplicates and/or similar stories and enable your team to easily screen key subjects with feeds from local, regional and national news reports to international news sources, industry sources, and regulatory and law enforcement information.

Easily conduct business due diligence

See key information that indicates level of risk associated with a person or business. Save time by eliminating the need to dig through vast amounts of data by getting a high-level view of risks associated to your subject. These flags provide an additional layer of protection against identity fraud and allow your organization to know when further due diligence investigation is needed.
