Summary
In this episode of Third Party Risk Perspectives, Elliot Berman is joined by Christopher Sindik of Blue Umbrella to break down the latest trends shaping due diligence and third-party risk management in 2026. Drawing on real client data and global insights, they explore how shifting supply chains are driving a 15% migration in due diligence activity across regions, particularly toward India and Latin America. They also discuss the growing demand for deeper investigative methods, including reputational inquiries and on-the-ground site visits, which have seen a notable rise as organizations seek to validate what can’t always be uncovered through desktop research alone. Finally, the conversation dives into the growing importance of identifying ultimate beneficial ownership (UBO), as organizations go beyond surface-level ownership to uncover hidden risks amid evolving global regulations. Whether you're navigating new markets or strengthening your compliance framework, this episode offers practical insights to help you stay ahead of emerging third-party risks.
