Checkpoint Expands: New Data Powers Global Risk Detection 

Today, many governments are using their international economic relationships to achieve their own strategic goals. Sometimes, this comes at the expense of their global partners. Countries like the PRC, Russia, and Iran often put this strategy to use to further their own technological interests, making it harder for businesses and academic institutions worldwide to protect themselves from these risks. 

That’s why Strider created Checkpoint, our third-party due diligence tool for security, compliance, and reputational insights. 

This month, we’re excited to announce some major improvements to Checkpoint. These new milestones significantly contribute to our vision of Checkpoint being a comprehensive risk screening solution for strategic state-sponsored intervention in the global economy.  

Most notably, Checkpoint now includes government registration records for 200 million legal entities located in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Japan. Integration of this data into Checkpoint reflects the rapid maturation of Strider’s ability to illuminate risky economic connections around the world, not just within regions of special concern. 

In the coming year, we’ll be adding even more data sources related to cross-border trade, ownership, and other economic relationships. With these updates, our clients will gain an even deeper understanding of which organizations might pose a risk due to their economic connections. After all, state-sponsored actors don’t limit themselves to their home countries—they own, trade with, and collaborate with millions of organizations around the world. Our clients know this and are looking for scalable solutions to manage these risks. 

We’re also excited to announce two new data additions specifically focused on Russia and Iran.  

First, we’ve added over 5 million supplier relationships from Russian government procurement records. This data shows which commercial firms in Russia have contracts with military, defense, and government end users. Understanding these connections can help our users identify companies with economic incentives to align with Russian government priorities. 

Second, we’ve added 2 million legal entities from Iran’s business registration system. This will help our users gain more insights into businesses operating in that often opaque region. 

In today’s unpredictable globalized business environment, this type of comprehensive due diligence is more critical than ever before. 

These updates are just the beginning. We have many more exciting data expansions and features planned for Checkpoint in the coming months. These enhancements will further empower our users to screen broadly and deeply for state-sponsored risks within their global economic footprints.
