Reputational Due Diligence

The protection of your reputation, in the investigation of theirs.
Reputational Due Diligence

Get Ahead of Your Reputational Risks.

Your reputation is your most valuable asset. And it takes a lot to protect it in the midst of increased demand for transparency and accountability, an evolving and more targeted regulatory environment, and a dynamic competitive landscape. Social media, viral news, and multiplying sources of data transmit organizations' actions with stunning speed and permanency. In today's interconnected world, it's not enough to simply follow the rules. You must also consider perceptions about your decisions--including involving those with whom you choose to engage--and how those could further or hinder your organization's goals.
​Targeted reputational due diligence investigations into elevated-risk subjects enable regulatory compliance and help guard against inadvertently doing business with sanctioned or corrupt entities. Such investigations can also provide leadership with advance warning about other issues of concern that could smear their organization in the eyes of regulators, stakeholders, customers, and the broader public. Luminint provides peace of mind in who you know, and that you know, to proactively manage reputational perceptions. ​​

The Luminint Difference

Reputational due diligence can so often devolve into a check-the-box exercise. Investigative ingenuity and analytical rigor are replaced with complacency. Leads go un-pursued, findings go unquestioned.

But our clients aren’t "check the box" people—it’s their dream on the line after all. At Luminint, this resonates. Our team comprises  imaginative investigators for whom face value is just a starting point. With varied private sector intelligence and analysis experience, we are adept at collecting and making sense of open-source information to inform competitive decision making.

ADVANCED INVESTIGATIVE METHODOLOGY, INFORMATION MAPPING, and OSINT analysis

Leverage augmentations for a more holistic portrait of a subject.

Social Media Screening

​Luminint's reputational due diligence investigations can identify all social media accounts belonging to an individual and use trained human eyes to read through every post—back to account creation—and screen for adverse content and other issues of concern that could damage a client's reputation.

Social Network Analysis

​​Not every adverse association is tracked in a database, leaving gaps in knowledge about an individual's exposure, influences, and pressures. Social network mapping helps illuminate those missing connections, providing our clients with a fuller picture of who they're dealing with.

Professional History Deep Dives

Our team runs enhanced OSINT investigations on an individual's past professional affiliations to screen for scandals, lawsuits, state-ownership, and sanctions at the entity level. By assessing the extent of the individual's connection to or involvement with such issues of concern, we help our clients avoid inheriting those problems or running afoul of global regulations.
