We deliver information that matters.
Terrain 9 has extensive experience conducting enhanced due diligence investigations specifically designed to deliver the exact information each of our clients needs. We are proud to work with licensed investigators across some of the world’s most opaque jurisdictions, uncovering hidden links and relationships, unveiling beneficial ownership details, and distilling all other risk-relevant information into easy-to-read deliverables.
For clients seeking comprehensive risk management solutions, we design compliance programs fine-tuned to the legal, financial, reputational, and political risk exposure profile of each engagement. We assist clients with the creation of robust KYC and AML procedures, develop threat finance prevention systems, and help strengthen anti-corruption safeguards across international public and private entities. Beyond screenings and background inquiries, we build multifaceted compliance programs addressing matters of human rights, civil security, and sector-specific risk prevention across the lifecycle of each project. Our compliance programs have proven particularly successful with global procurement, supply chain management, investment, and ESG teams looking to shield resources and reputations from misconduct.
