- Perspecta Diligence combines advanced AI with human expertise, adding an additional layer of confidence in output with reduced false positives and contextual insights
Leading global corporate intelligence and cyber security consultancy S-RM has announced the launch of Perspecta Diligence, an AI-powered due diligence solution designed to help organisations efficiently triage and assess third-party risk at scale.
Perspecta Diligence addresses the growing pressure on compliance teams to deliver accurate screening and due diligence quickly, despite increasingly complex supply chains and tighter budgets. Sitting between traditional sanctions and watchlist screening and enhanced due diligence, it offers a scalable, cost-effective way to conduct reliable checks on lower- and medium-risk third parties.
At the heart of the solution is Perspecta Pulse, a bespoke AI platform powered by Xapien. Xapien’s combination of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and sophisticated AI tooling makes third-party research faster, more accurate, and more robust, enabling Perspecta Pulse to deliver in minutes comprehensive due diligence reports that go beyond sanctions, PEP, and watchlist searches.
To give clients additional assurance, S-RM overlays this process with human expertise. A team of more than 200 analysts review AI outputs, removing and verifying a large number of false positives and adding contextual insights. This produces reliable, digestible reports that can be shared confidently with compliance teams, management, and stakeholders.
The platform can be adopted as a stand-alone solution through a simple interface for uploading subjects and downloading reports, or integrated seamlessly via an API into existing Third-Party Risk Management programmes. It also complements S-RM’s broader services, including Compliance Due Diligence for higher-risk entities and S-RM Monitor for continuous monitoring of adverse media and compliance events.
Chris Oehlert, Head of Third-Party Risk Solutions at S-RM, said: “Perspecta Diligence represents a significant investment in AI and innovation to meet market demands. By combining automated research with expert human review, we are helping organisations manage third-party risk more efficiently, at scale, and with greater confidence.”
Martin Devenish, Board Director and Global Head of Corporate Intelligence at S-RM, said: “Our clients are increasingly faced with complex supply chains and third-party populations. Perspecta Diligence provides a solution that saves time, reduces costs, and enhances the quality of due diligence, supporting smarter decision-making across compliance programmes.”
Zachary Rothstein, Head of Growth and Partnerships at Xapien, said: “The Perspecta Diligence platform is a powerful example of how AI and human expertise can come together to transform compliance workflows. By powering S-RM’s new solution with Xapien’s AI-driven platform, we’re enabling compliance teams to perform faster, more reliable due diligence without compromising on accuracy or assurance. It’s exciting to see our technology helping a leading intelligence firm like S-RM deliver real, measurable impact for their clients.”
S-RM will showcase Perspecta Diligence at the UK Risk Summit in London on 9 October.
