What Russia’s shadow fleet reveals about sanctions risk
Sanctions screening is an established part of assessing third-party risk. A counterparty and other relevant parties are checked against applicable sanctions lists, potential matches are investigated, and the findings help inform decisions about whether and how to proceed. However, what should be done when the screening outcome is straightforward, yet the broader relationship remains ambiguous?…

How FCA and Data Protection Complaints Handling Intersect?
After nearly two decades in compliance, I have come to the conclusion that FCA complaints and data protection complaints have more in common than most people realise. Before anyone starts drafting an objection, I am not suggesting they are the same thing. They aren’t. They are covered by different laws. They involve different rights, create…

Enhanced Due Diligence:
THE LICENCE THAT SHOULD NOT EXIST
TenIntelligence was asked to conduct a background check supported by Human Source Intelligence on an individual based in the South Africa.
The individual presented multiple red flags, including a negative character reference, adverse media coverage and a significant volume of undisclosed litigation involving both the individual and their company.
Multiple undisclosed litigation cases were identified in an African mining jurisdiction concerning an allegedly unlawfully obtained mining licence.
Human Source Intelligence subsequently corroborated the ongoing litigation and included allegations that the individual had committed fraud, with the unlawful transfer of the mining licence enabling the individual to evade taxes.

Insight Beyond Data:
THE VALUE OF HUMAN SOURCE INTELLIGENCE
Human Source Intelligence go beyond traditional due diligence by capturing information that is not publicly available or formally recorded. While standard checks focus on verifiable data, such as corporate records, litigation, and media, Human Source Intelligence draws on direct interviews with relevant people with first-hand knowledge of an individual or company’s behaviour, reputation, and operational practices.
Human Source Intelligence can reveal critical context, including patterns of misconduct, reputational concerns, or emerging risks that would otherwise remain hidden.
By supplementing due diligence with these qualitative perspectives, clients gain a more complete, nuanced, and actionable understanding of risk, enabling more confident and informed decision-making.
