Russia/CIS Vendor Due Diligence

Your Russian or CIS supplier passed a sanctions screen. But who actually owns it? What lawsuits are buried in arbitrazh courts? What does their tax filing history look like? Standard compliance platforms can't answer these questions. We can.

[ Why Russia/CIS Expertise Matters ]

This isn't a market you can screen from a Western database

Russian corporate structures are designed to obscure ownership. Nominee directors are legal and common. Shell company chains span CIS jurisdictions. Financial disclosures are minimal. Court records are scattered across federal and regional systems in Russian. Your standard compliance platform — LexisNexis, World-Check, Sayari — covers about 20% of what's actually available. We cover the rest: EGRUL, SPARK-Interfax, Rosreestr, FSSP, FNS, customs databases, railway waybills, Telegram/VK social intelligence, and dark web breach aggregators. Every check is performed by analysts who read Russian, Ukrainian, and Kazakh natively.
