Enhanced due diligence (EDD) is a deeper investigation designed to surface risks not typically found in basic background checks. It’s essential for:
Engaging with entities in high-risk or high-corruption jurisdictions
Vetting politically exposed persons (PEPs)
Ensuring compliance with anti-bribery and anti-money laundering regulations
Identifying undisclosed beneficial owners or affiliations
Kreller combines open-source intelligence (OSINT) with real-world HUMINT to provide reliable and actionable insight.
Kreller delivers tailored due diligence investigations aligned with an organization’s risk posture and strategic position. The level of diligence is determined by our global risk assessment that considers the industry, jurisdiction, and nature of the third-party relationship.
Verify the identity and registration of third party, confirm compliance with sanction requirements, and screen for adverse public information
Utilizes in-country human intelligence (HUMINT) to uncover beneficial ownership tracing, business affiliations, and legitimacy of operations in jurisdictions with higher risk and limited publicly available data.
