Corporate Intelligence

Pre-hire vetting, vendor and supply-chain risk, pre-investment diligence, and the intelligence businesses need before they commit capital or trust.

Corporate Intelligence

Before you commit capital, headcount, or trust.


Greyline’s Corporate Intelligence capability supports the decisions where being wrong is expensive: pre-hire vetting that goes beyond standard background checks and database searches, vendor and supply-chain due diligence, pre-investment and M&A diligence for corporate development and private equity, and insider threat or workplace investigations conducted to evidential standard. These are three distinct ways to engage, not a required sequence. Instruct a single investigation where a specific decision needs a defensible answer, subscribe to ongoing monitoring where the risk does not end with one report, or draw on strategic advice at board level where the decision is bigger than one relationship.

At a Glance

What this capability covers.


Investigative and advisory intelligence for the decisions where being wrong is expensive: pre-hire vetting, vendor and supply-chain due diligence, pre-investment and M&A diligence, and workplace investigations, backed by continuous monitoring and board-level advisory work where the risk does not end with one report.

Who it's for
C-suite and board members for strategic intelligence and risk oversight, HR directors for pre-hire vetting, procurement for vendor and supply-chain risk, general counsel for workplace investigations, and corporate development or private equity for pre-investment and M&A diligence.
Typical deliverable
A written, sourced report for a one-off investigation; a monthly intelligence briefing with priority alerts for a Monitor-tier subscription; a briefing pack and live presentation for Advise-tier work.
Typical timeline
One-off investigations typically run 3 to 10 business days from confirmed scope. Monitor subscriptions run continuously, with a first briefing at the close of the initial monitoring period. Advise engagements are scoped to the decision or board cycle they support.
Investigate

Focused, one-off investigations before a decision is made: pre-hire vetting, vendor and supply-chain due diligence, pre-investment and M&A diligence, and workplace investigations into a specific matter.


Monitor (Managed Intelligence Services)

Unlike one-off investigations, these subscription intelligence services provide continuous oversight of vendors, candidates, portfolios, workplaces and litigation risk as they develop over the life of a relationship.
