Enhanced Due Diligence & Business Intelligence

Safeguard Your Operations, Partnerships, and Reputation

At SARI Global, we deliver tailored Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) and Business Intelligence services to help organizations make informed, ethical, and secure decisions in complex, high-risk environments. We combine advanced research, on-the-ground field insight, and real-world risk analysis to support your operational, compliance, and strategic objectives.

Making the wrong decision about a partner, vendor, or investment can lead to regulatory penalties, reputational fallout, program disruption, or ethical compromise. Our due diligence frameworks are designed to uncover the full picture, enabling you to act with confidence when entering a new market, funding a local actor, or scaling operations.

We go beyond database checks. Our EDD process includes:

• Legal registration verification and licensing status
• Historical activity, affiliations, and funding sources
• Review of leadership and staff for ethical or reputational concerns
• Screening for political affiliations, safeguarding risks, and compliance gaps
• Field-level validation and triangulated interviews
• Custom risk scoring using a structured and transparent matrix (Low, Moderate, High)
   

Our reports provide:

• Fully narrative, source-cited findings
• Risk-themed structure (e.g., corruption, safeguarding, political bias, legal compliance)
• Social media audits, staff profiling, and open-source media reviews
• Strategic recommendations for risk mitigation, de-risking, or disengagement
   

We assess risks across environmental, social, and governance dimensions:

• Human rights practices and labor conditions
• Environmental liabilities and local impact
• Gender-based violence and protection risks
• Social acceptance and community dynamics
   

Integrated cyber and data security checks include:

• Digital presence analysis and vulnerability mapping
• Review of public footprints for exposure to misuse or breach
• Optional threat environment snapshots and reputational monitoring
