Third-party compliance you can actually evidence
Verdana Compliance evaluates, classifies and continuously monitors the third parties an organization does business with, and leaves an auditable record of every decision. It covers the full arc: onboarding questionnaire, screening against sanctions and restricted-party lists, beneficial ownership and politically exposed person identification, risk classification, and remediation of findings.
Classification is not a manual label. Risk profiles are defined by rule — jurisdiction, spend, service type, contact with public officials, access to facilities or data, prior findings — and each new third party is routed to the profile it belongs in based on what it disclosed and what screening returned. A low-risk supplier clears a short path; one that acts as an intermediary before government, holds an opaque ownership structure, or triggers adverse findings goes to enhanced due diligence with senior approval before it can be used. The result is that the compliance team spends its hours on the five percent of cases that warrant them.
Monitoring is what separates a program from an archive. Verdana re-screens approved third parties on the cadence set for their profile and alerts only when something has actually changed: a new listing, an ownership change, a sanction, a lapsed policy. Around that sit the operational controls — training assigned to the third party with a record of completion, periodic control tasks with mandatory evidence, and a formal recommendation to work, work with conditions, or decline, signed and dated.
All of it lives in an audit trail that cannot be rewritten. Effects, revalidations and corrections are stored as new records rather than overwriting the original, so the file can reconstruct not only the third party's status today but what was known on any past date and who approved on that basis.
