Third-party risk
Healthcare due diligence
Access the data, technology, reporting and services to manage risks associated with third parties – suppliers, vendors and distributors - in healthcare, pharmaceutical, medtech and life science companies.
Conducting detailed and holistic assessments of all risks before engaging a new third-party in the healthcare industry is critical, particularly when expanding into less familiar and high-risk territories.
Healthcare supply chains can be complex with tier-1, tier-2 and tier-3 suppliers, as well as third-party vendors and distributors located across the globe from the company’s headquarters.
Dealing with many third parties means that healthcare, pharmaceutical and life science companies often face legal risks as well as heightened risk of fraud, corruption, bribery and anti-competitive behaviour. They also face regulatory enforcement and health and safety risks which are commonly reported as part of ESG risks.
Given the common interactions with healthcare professionals (HCPs) as well as governments and hospitals, the visibility and due diligence of third-party relationships in supply chain and distribution are key.
Your suppliers such as clinical trials, distributors including pharmaceutical stores and laboratory logistics, and other business partners, are considered an extension of your company. It is therefore in your company’s best interest to build a third-party risk management programme.

What is due diligence for healthcare companies?
Healthcare, pharmaceutical and life science companies operate in a highly competitive and tightly regulated industry, with some of the largest FCPA fines in history.
The often-long lead times and significant investment needed to bring products to market drives the need for high levels of security and discretion in the industry.
A robust third-party risk management programme, including data, technology and expertise, is essential to manage a large network of third parties, and to flag and uncover hidden risks, particularly in high-risk countries.
