SYSTEM BRIEFING: How we read hidden risk in under a minute.

Core Capabilities

Counterparty Background Reviews

Structured background checks on individuals and companies involved in deals, partnerships or sensitive roles. We combine corporate records, litigation, procurement data and public information to assess integrity and exposure.

Public-Sector & Procurement Risk

Analysis of entities that contract with government, with emphasis on Colombia and Latin America: history in procurement systems, contract patterns, disputes and public findings from audit and oversight bodies where available.

Sanctions & Adverse Information

Screening against key international sanctions and watchlists (e.g. OFAC SDN, UN, EU) and review of publicly available adverse media and regulatory actions to identify early red flags.

How We Work

Passive & Discreet Research

Our work is 100% non-intrusive. We do not contact the subject or counterparties and we do not engage in technical intrusion.

Public-record and digital research only
Use of official databases, court portals and procurement systems where available
Client-provided documents analysed in context

Engagement Cycle

A lean cycle designed for decision-makers who need clarity before committing.

Standard turnaround: 3–5 business days for single-subject reviews
Extended timelines for multi-jurisdiction or multi-entity projects, agreed in advance
Invoice on Delivery in most standard engagements, under a simple engagement letter

Secure Contact

We keep a deliberately low public profile and handle all coordination through written channels. No messaging apps, no phone calls recorded by default.

To initiate a background review, you only need to share the counterparty’s basic identifiers (name, company, jurisdiction and any documents you already hold).
