EDD Turnaround: 3 Days
Down to 10 Minutes.
How a major South African bank replaced days of manual supplier and third-party due diligence with a single AI-native EDD report - generated from just three inputs.
One of the most time-consuming processes
in compliance today.
Procurement and risk teams at this bank were expected to screen hundreds of vendors every year. Traditional approaches meant pulling data from multiple siloed systems, manually reading hundreds of articles and court records, and copying everything into Word documents.
The process was slow, subjective, and inconsistent - and it left major blind spots, especially around 4th and 5th party risks buried deep in extended supply chains.
Pulling risk data from multiple siloed systems - no single source of truth, no consistent methodology
Manually reading hundreds of articles and court records just to assess relevance and materiality
Subjective, analyst-to-analyst inconsistency in how risk was scored and documented
Manually checking for hidden corporate connections - a slow, error-prone process with major gaps
Copying findings into Word documents - time-consuming, hard to audit, and impossible to scale
Significant blind spots around 4th and 5th party risks buried deep in extended supply chains
The Turning Point
One single Executive EDD Report now delivers what used to take days of manual work.
Generated from just three inputs - company name, registration number, and country - KYCopilot EDD replaced the entire manual workflow overnight.
AI-Interpreted Risk Intelligence
The system automatically summarises adverse media, flags the direct implications of wrongdoing, and explains severity and materiality in plain language - not just raw links or unfiltered data.
Consistent, Defensible Scoring
Every risk area receives a clear rating - including the patented Comfort Score™ - that already factors in mitigating circumstances, recency, and frequency. No more subjectivity between analysts.
Corporate Network Risk Analysis
Automatically maps subsidiaries, parent companies, sister entities, SPVs, and hidden 4th and 5th party associations that most organisations completely miss due to time or data constraints.
Deep Supply Chain & Third-Party Risk
Detailed assessment of known suppliers plus critical exposure flags - even when direct suppliers appear clean. Hidden risk in the extended chain is surfaced and rated.
Full Audit Trail
Every search, data source, AI decision, and score is logged with timestamps and reasoning - ready for regulators or internal auditors at any time.
Real Impact
What the team actually experienced.
A complete, boardroom-ready supplier risk report in minutes - replacing a process that previously took days of manual work.
Teams report up to 80% reduction in due diligence time with no compromise on depth, consistency, or regulatory defensibility.
Previously missed 4th and 5th party risks - buried deep in corporate networks - are now systematically surfaced and rated.
Full logging of every search, source, AI decision, and score means nothing is left to memory or interpretation when regulators come calling.
No more trawling through countless articles. No more manual copying and pasting. No more guessing materiality.
Just clear, actionable intelligence that lets procurement, risk, and compliance teams focus on what really matters - making smarter, faster, and safer business decisions.
