Risk & Compliance solutions

Our approach

Experience and expertise, delivered as a SaaS application

Compliance

A fine understanding of regulatory frameworks, from Sapin II to the new Asian rules.

Investigation

Real investigative know-how • fraud, corruption, beneficial owners, on-site verification.

Technology

A platform that industrializes the third-party program without diluting analytical rigour.

How we work with you

From scoping to deployment and business support

1

Scope and calibrate

We set triage thresholds and the regulations in scope with you.

2

Deploy

We deploy the platform and your teams run the programme.

3

Support

We support your teams day to day; when a case demands it, our investigators take it further.

A pragmatic approach

Software vendor vs business solutions

A software vendor…

  • Starts from the product
  • Stops at the questionnaire
  • Asks you to adapt to the tool

A business solution…

  • Starts from your risk
  • Goes through the risk, including in-depth enquiry
  • Calibrates the method to you
What sets us apart

Where others stop, we keep going.

Most TPRM platforms stop at the questionnaire. Our origin as an investigation firm lets us go all the way through the risk: in-depth enquiry, documentary and on-site, is part of the offering.

REGULATIONS • EUROPE & INTERNATIONAL

European and international frameworks.

France

Sapin II

Obligation to map risks and document the assessment of third parties (clients, suppliers, intermediaries) under the anti-corruption regime.

How Ethicaline TPRM helps: Sapin II requires a third-party integrity due-diligence programme. Ethicaline TPRM is the risk-assessment-triage and due-diligence engine that runs it • risk-tiered screening of intermediaries, suppliers and partners for corruption, sanctions and reputational red flags, with continuous monitoring and an auditable record for the AFA.
European Union

CS3D / CSDDD

EU corporate sustainability due diligence: identifying, preventing and remediating harms along the value chain.

How Ethicaline TPRM helps: Ethicaline TPRM is CS3D-ready (EU transposition still under way). CS3D requires human-rights and environmental due diligence across your chain of activities. Ethicaline TPRM powers the third-party assessment layer • screening and monitoring partners and suppliers for adverse media, sanctions and integrity red flags • feeding your broader due-diligence programme. We power the third-party screening, not the full ESG framework.
Germany

LkSG

Supply-chain due-diligence act: risk analysis and corrective measures across suppliers.

How Ethicaline TPRM helps: LkSG requires due diligence on human-rights and environmental risks in your supply chain. Ethicaline TPRM is the screening engine for your suppliers • risk-based assessment, adverse-media and sanctions checks, continuous monitoring, documented for reporting.
United States

FCPA

Anti-corruption law with extraterritorial reach: due diligence on intermediaries and business partners.

How Ethicaline TPRM helps: The FCPA exposes you to liability for the conduct of your intermediaries. Ethicaline TPRM delivers the third-party integrity due diligence underpinning an effective compliance defence • screening for corruption, sanctions and ownership risk before and throughout each engagement.
Asia-Pacific

The new generation of Asian frameworks.

Asia-Pacific is accelerating. Singapore's MAS is redefining third-party risk, Australia's APRA imposes, with CPS 230, a demanding framework for service providers, and China is overhauling its supply-chain rules. A program that was adequate three years ago now has gaps.

SingaporeNew 2026

MAS TPRM Guidelines

Issued March 2026, they supersede the old outsourcing rules and extend expectations to all third-party arrangements: register, governance, full lifecycle and sub-contractors.

How Ethicaline TPRM helps: MAS expects financial institutions to manage third-party risk across the full lifecycle. Ethicaline TPRM is the risk-assessment-triage and screening engine for that programme • risk-tiered assessment, sanctions and PEP checks, adverse media, continuous monitoring and a documented audit trail for your third-party register.
Australia

APRA CPS 230

Operational-risk standard in force since July 2025 (material-provider contract compliance due by July 2026). Monitoring and continuity of critical providers.

How Ethicaline TPRM helps: APRA CPS 230 requires material-provider monitoring and continuity. Ethicaline TPRM supports the third-party risk-assessment layer • screening, assessment and continuous monitoring of your material providers, with a documented register and audit trail. We support your provider due-diligence obligations; we do not replace your operational-risk framework.
China

Supply-chain decrees & AUCL

Decrees 834 and 835 (2026) govern information gathering and due diligence. China also concentrates most FCPA actions and requires China-specific supplier verification.

How Ethicaline TPRM helps: China's evolving supply-chain and anti-corruption rules require China-specific due diligence. Ethicaline TPRM delivers the screening and investigative diligence layer • sanctions, adverse media and ownership verification adapted to the China context, with rigorous documentation.
Hong Kong

HKMA • Operational Resilience

Strengthened expectations on operational resilience and provider management for financial institutions.

How Ethicaline TPRM helps: HKMA's operational-resilience expectations include third-party provider management. Ethicaline TPRM is the screening and monitoring engine for your critical providers • assessment, continuous monitoring and audit trail.
Japan

FSA • Operational Resilience

Growing expectations on operational resilience, third-party risk and technology risk.

How Ethicaline TPRM helps: Japan's FSA expects growing third-party risk management. Ethicaline TPRM supports the screening and due-diligence layer • graded assessment, continuous monitoring and documented provider register.
India

SEBI • BRSR

Business responsibility and sustainability reporting obligations, including the value chain, aligned with global standards.

How Ethicaline TPRM helps: SEBI BRSR requires value-chain ESG and sustainability reporting. Ethicaline TPRM powers the third-party ESG screening layer • assessment and document collection for your value-chain third parties. We support the third-party data-collection layer, not the full ESG reporting framework.
