What’s new in Diligent Compliance: AI that brings clarity to third-party and compliance workflows

For legal, risk, and governance teams, third-party risk management still involves too much manual digging, reading, and reconciling. Diligent’s compliance products now include AI-driven capabilities that bring faster clarity where it matters most.

Below are some of the major updates across third-party risk, investigations, screening and policy management.

What’s new in Diligent Compliance?

Third-Party Investigator: Don’t just get data. Get clarity.

Third-Party Investigator is an AI-driven investigation engine for third-party risk. It:

• Resolves company names across languages and jurisdictions
• Maps ownership networks using Diligent’s proprietary Ownership & Affiliation (O&A) data
• Screens connected entities against global sanctions, PEPs, and adverse media
• Delivers a narrative, decision-ready report with source citations and a full audit trail

Instead of handing analysts a pile of raw hits, Third-Party Investigator gives them a clear, auditable story so they can triage faster and escalate only what needs deeper review — contact your CSM to request Early Adopter access.

AI Suite for Third-Party Manager: AI that works within your workflow — not alongside it.

The AI Suite embeds generative AI directly into Third-Party Manager to address information overload, language barriers, and slow manual reviews. It combines three capabilities:

• AI media monitor summarization for concise 200–250word summaries and automatic translation
• AI virtual assistant for natural-language questions about any third-party profile
• AI-powered due diligence reports that clear low risk assessments automatically and escalate higher risk profiles with context

Analysts stay in a single workflow while dramatically cutting the time spent reading, translating, and compiling findings.

Ownership & Affiliation (O&A) Network: Go beyond UBO to find hidden sanctions risk

The O&A Network is a proprietary, analyst-verified data set that addresses gaps in traditional, self-reported UBO databases. It:

• Maps risk relationships through parents, subsidiaries, executives, known relatives, and verified affiliations
• Aligns with OFAC and EU “50% rule” requirements
• Focuses on validated connections to reduce noise and false positives

This helps teams uncover indirect and hidden sanctions exposure across complex ownership networks.

GDC Search Infrastructure upgrade: A smarter, more precise screening process

Diligent’s Global Database Check (GDC) has been upgraded to a modern OpenSearch-based engine that:

• Reduces false positives by 30%+
• Improves phonetic matching (“Smith” vs “Smyth”, “Mohammed” vs “Muhammad”)
• Optimizes support for names in Chinese, Japanese and Korean
• Preserves all previously adjudicated hits and audit trails

The result: fewer irrelevant alerts, and greater focus on genuine risk signals.

Vault Case Importer: Modernize whistleblowing in one move

The Vault Case Importer makes migration from legacy hotline and case tools realistic and low risk:

• Guided CSV/Excel import
• Flexible field mapping
• Pre-import validation
• Immutable audit logs
• Immediate availability of historical data in dashboards

This removes the biggest barrier to upgrading — fear of losing historical case data.

Policy Manager redesign: Find the right policy, faster

The redesigned Policy Portal provides a faster, smarter way for employees to find the right policy:

• AI-powered search using natural-language questions
• Instant AI-generated summaries
• Support for 30+ languages
• Improved performance and flexible views

This reduces friction and helps employees get clearer answers, faster.
