Graphite FOR LEGAL & COMPLIANCE

Third-Party Due Diligence, Without the Spreadsheets

Regulators don't accept "we have a spreadsheet" anymore. You need screening, documentation, and an audit trail that holds up under scrutiny from day 1.

Graphite Connect gives Legal and Compliance teams a single source of truth for every supplier relationship — from the initial sanctions screening to seven-year retention.

Compliance at the Pace of Business: The Network in Action

Sanctions and PEP screening scattered across point solutions makes it arduous to review a 
supplier holistically

No defensible audit trail when a regulator (or a board) asks

DORA, LkSG, CSDDD, CMMC, 3PL and ESG reporting deadlines with no operational system to 
support them

Contract intake chaos — NDAs, MSAs, and DPAs living in inboxes

Re-screening that never happens because no one owns it

Manual due diligence that doesn't scale beyond your top vendors

Graphite Connect fixes all of this in one place — a supplier management system designed for effective, automated, AI-driven third-party risk management.

“We went from a three-month onboarding process to under 10 days, with full compliance documentation captured along the way.”

How Graphite Connect Helps Legal & Compliance Teams

Comprehensive sanctions & third-party risk screening — built in

Every supplier in Graphite is automatically screened against the watchlists that matter:

  • OFAC (US Treasury)
  • UN Security Council
  • EU Consolidated list
  • HMT (UK)
  • DFAT (Australia)
  • Plus country-specific lists

For PEP and adverse media screening, Graphite integrates with third-party partners like Dow Jones. Re-screens run automatically, and trigger tasks and remediation based on your policies.

DORA, LkSG, CSDDD, and ESG ready out of the box

  • DORA templates for ICT third-party risk and the EBA register exports
  • LkSG (German Supply Chain Act) templates for human rights and environmental due diligence
  • CSDDD (EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive) workflows
  • ESG scoring aligned to SASB, GRI, and TCFD frameworks

When the next regulation lands, you're not starting from scratch — you're configuring a workflow.

Contracts, NDAs, and DPAs — finally in one place

Graphite includes native integrations with DocuSign and Adobe Sign, plus AI-powered contract data extraction. Templates and intake workflows mean every supplier relationship starts with the right paperwork, signed, stored, and searchable.
