The partnership expands EQS Group’s ecosystem by enabling organisations to access specialised investigative expertise and deeper third-party risk insights as part of their existing compliance workflows. Customers can now request and manage GTI’s in-depth third-party assessments – from identifying beneficial ownership to complex in-country investigations – without leaving the EQS Compliance Cockpit environment.

“Third-party risk remains one of the most critical and complex areas of today’s compliance,” said Achim Weick, founder and CEO of EQS Group. “By partnering with GTI, we are strengthening our platform with advanced due diligence capabilities that help organisations build trust with their partners and embed ethical standards across their supply chains.”

GTI’s approach integrates human expertise, AI-supported analysis, and multiple data sources to deliver scalable and comprehensive due diligence. By combining GTI’s investigative expertise with EQS’ digital compliance solutions, customers benefit from a seamless workflow that connects enhanced due diligence directly with their existing third-party risk management programmes. This helps reduce fragmentation and embed due diligence more efficiently into their internal processes.

“Due diligence is evolving rapidly in a volatile geopolitical and regulatory environment, with AI creating new possibilities for compliance teams,” said Stewart Kelly, co-founder and CEO of GTI. “Compliance leaders need a single unified platform to manage the challenges of today’s world, and benefit from the AI revolution. We're excited to make that a reality by partnering with EQS.”

The collaboration with GTI reflects EQS Group’s strategy to provide a holistic compliance platform that allows organisations to oversee all key compliance processes in one place, while integrating specialised expertise and intelligence partners. By connecting digital workflows with external intelligence, EQS aims to help companies manage risk more effectively in an increasingly complex regulatory environment.
