Case Study: How Valital helped a top due diligence firm uncover hidden global risk

Client: Leading Due Diligence & Complex Investigations Firm

Challenge: A client mandated a single jurisdiction-only scope in North America for a due diligence investigation on a globally active company.

The blind spot

The firm was tasked with investigating a North American entity, but the company’s international footprint raised red flags. The scope was limited to a single jurisdiction, yet the risk clearly wasn’t. The problem? Traditional tools and manual searches couldn’t see beyond the border.

Why it matters

In a global economy, risk doesn’t respect geography. A narrow scope can miss critical issues—legal, financial, reputational—that surface only when you zoom out.

The breakthrough

Enter Valital. Our AI-powered adverse media platform doesn’t stop at borders. It scans globally by default—no extra configuration, no blind spots.

🔍What it found: A court case outside the scope jurisdiction involving the target company—missed by tools that stop where you tell them to look.

💡 What it proved: This single discovery became a turning point. It validated the firm’s long-standing push for global due diligence and gave them hard evidence to back it up.

The ripple effect

That one finding triggered a deeper investigation. The firm expanded its scope, uncovered more insights, and delivered a far more robust risk profile to its client.

Why they keep using Valital

• Global by default: No missed jurisdictions.
• Built-in intelligence: We don’t just dump links—we analyze identity, misconduct, source, and the subject’s role, then flag risk using a clear red-amber-green system.

The bottom line

Risk is global. Your tools should be too.
