The definitive guide to future-ready third-party due diligence is Xapien’s three-part series for risk and compliance teams who want to modernise their third-party process without compromising on speed, accuracy, rigour, or control.

Part 2 gives you a practical framework for choosing a due diligence partner, covering how to define your requirements, compare vendors, run a pilot, plan your integration strategy, and build the business case.

Just some of what's inside:
• Seven criteria and a scorecard for measuring providers
• How to run a pilot that stress-tests “global coverage” claims
• What partnership fit looks like in practice (and in the contract)
• How to build a business case that goes beyond the licence fee
