Why Monitoring Matters

The Modern Risk Landscape

Today’s organizations face a volatile, interconnected risk environment. Traditional due diligence is no longer enough-new threats emerge daily, and third-party networks are vast and complex.

Key Stats:

•  55% of companies uncover legal, ethical, or compliance issues with third parties after onboarding.

•  40% of companies oversee 1,000+ third parties annually.

•  29% manage more than 5,000 third-party relationships.

The Risk Monitoring Imperative

Corporate boards and C-suite leaders are under pressure as risks multiply:

•  Geopolitical shifts (e.g., Brexit, US elections, Middle East instability)

•  Market volatility and asset bubbles

•  Terrorism, fair wage debates, and income inequality

Companies rely on vast, global third-party networks.

Ongoing monitoring is essential to build a complete risk picture and proactively mitigate threats.

“More than half (55 percent) of respondents report that they identified legal, ethical, or compliance issues with a third party after due diligence had been conducted.”

The Four Pillars of Risk

Risk Type  What’s at Stake  How AXIANTIS Protects You

Reputational  Brand trust, loyalty  Real-time media scanning, sentiment analysis

Regulatory  Compliance, penalties  Automated rule tracking, audit trails

Financial  Revenue, investments  Vendor health checks, fraud detection

Strategic  Growth, partnerships  Market entry risk mapping, scenario analysis

Social Compliance & Regulatory Risk

Social Compliance

Companies are under pressure from NGOs, consumer groups, and new laws (e.g., UK Modern Slavery Act) to ensure ethical practices across their supply chains.

Regulatory Risk

Enforcement actions are rising globally.

•  US and Europe lead in anti-bribery enforcement

•  Banks must monitor for negative media and signs of financial crime

“The United States has been concluding enforcement actions at an unprecedented rate, other jurisdictions have been stepping up their prosecution rates as well, and new anti-corruption laws continue to be passed worldwide.”

Financial & Strategic Risk

Financial Risk

Supply chain disruptions cost $56 billion annually.

Reputational and compliance failures can halt deals and cause share price drops.

Top 10 FCPA cases: $4.65 billion in penalties.

Strategic Risk

Failure to spot risks in third parties can slow or impede growth.

Visibility is critical for new supplier sourcing and market expansion.
