Third-Party Risk Screener API - Overview

The Third-Party Risk Screener API provides our clients with a singular solution incorporating several sets of semi-curated third-party risk data and information to help them gain an initial understanding of risks across their supplier and distribution networks.

What is the Third-Party Risk Screener API?

It is a low-touch, zero-footprint solution created to help clients rapidly identify any potentially disqualifying criteria about a third party.

The API allows clients to integrate Third-Party Risk Screener capabilities into their third-part risk management systems. The solution enables clients to screen  large volume of their third-parties against several internal and external risk datasets providing multi-dimensional risk profile. It simplifies screening process by dealing with fewer third-party risk management providers.

Currently it offers access to following risk datasets:

• Business Overview supported by LSEG Organization Authority as well as Dun & Bradstreet
• Country Risk fed by LSEG Country Risk Ranking
• Media Check using LSEG Negative Media
• Ownership Information provided by Sayari Labs
• Regulatory Risk powered by LSEG World-Check One

Key Benefits and Features

• Helps clients understand their potential exposure to a broad set of third-party risks beyond traditional risks such as bribery and corruption.
• Incorporates multiple internal and external datasets in a singular solution covering a third party's corporate background, ownership information, and regulatory, reputational and jurisdictional risks.
• Supports a risk-based third-party risk management programme.
• Available as a set of API endpoints and as a tiered subscription.

The Technology

The Third-Party Risk Screener API is based on REST technology. We use the Swagger tool for documentation with the OpenAPI standard. HMAC is used for authentication through the World-Check One API Gateway (more about security in the Security section within the Documentation section).
