GSA provides detailed, intelligence-led due diligence investigations that give organisations the clarity and assurance they need before engaging key individuals, suppliers, partners, or investment opportunities. Our team examines background, integrity, financial position, regulatory exposure, and wider reputational risk, drawing on a blend of structured checks, sector expertise, discreet enquiries, and advanced open-source intelligence (OSINT). We deliver a full spectrum of due diligence services including Standard Due Diligence Checking, Enhanced Due Diligence, Financial Due Diligence, and Commercial Due Diligence to help organisations anticipate issues early, meet regulatory expectations, and make confident, defensible decisions. Whether supporting senior appointments, procurement activities, investment planning, or complex international operations, GSA provides clear, evidence-based insight that protects both reputation and operational resilience.
Our standard due diligence checking offers a reliable baseline assessment covering identity verification, professional history, sanctions and PEP screening, adverse media, litigation records, and reputational indicators. These checks are ideal for routine appointments, supplier onboarding, or early-stage risk evaluation, providing a clear picture of whether individuals or organisations meet your expectations of integrity and suitability.
For higher-risk roles, sensitive appointments, or complex partnerships, GSA delivers enhanced due diligence that goes deeper than standard checks. This includes discreet background enquiries, source interviews, expanded OSINT analysis, financial insight, conflict-of-interest mapping, and assessments of personal or organisational vulnerabilities. Enhanced due diligence provides a more complete understanding of character, conduct, and any hidden risks that may impact operational, regulatory, or reputational outcomes.
Our financial due diligence reviews evaluate the stability, history, and financial behaviour of individuals or organisations. We analyse credit indicators, corporate filings, insolvency history, ownership structures, undisclosed interests, and indicators of fraud or irregularity. This service supports investment decisions, senior hires, procurement, and high-value partnerships, helping organisations avoid financial exposure and protect long-term resilience.
Commercial due diligence focuses on the broader business environment surrounding an organisation or opportunity. This includes assessing market positioning, operational capability, leadership reputation, regulatory compliance, historical performance, and strategic risks. We provide clients with a rounded view of commercial viability and potential vulnerabilities, particularly useful for mergers, acquisitions, or strategic partnerships.
Our Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) capability enhances all levels of due diligence, leveraging advanced tools and methodologies to examine digital footprints, social media activity, corporate linkages, behavioural patterns, and hidden reputational risks. OSINT provides valuable insights that traditional checks may overlook, enabling organisations to identify early-warning signs, integrity concerns, or undisclosed networks that could influence decision-making.
Due diligence investigations help organisations verify integrity, assess risk, and confirm that individuals, partners, or suppliers are suitable and trustworthy. They provide clear insight into background, reputation, financial stability, and potential red flags before key decisions are made.
Standard due diligence covers core ‘red flag’ checks such as identity, professional history, sanctions, litigation, and adverse media. Enhanced due diligence goes deeper, incorporating discreet enquiries, expanded OSINT analysis, conflict-of-interest mapping, and financial and behavioural insights, ideal for higher-risk or sensitive appointments.
Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) provides insights through public data, social media, digital footprints, corporate records, and online behavioural patterns. It can uncover reputational risks, undisclosed connections, or early-warning indicators that traditional checks may miss.
