$10T Supply Chain: Microsoft, Tech Against Trafficking, and Primary-Data Compliance

Microsoft, Source Intelligence, and Sayari present the case for moving beyond probabilistic supply chain mapping to verified, primary-data traceability that meets the requirements of UFLPA, EUDR, and the newly released Tech Against Trafficking (TAT) standards.

The Compliance Gap

A $10 trillion AI buildout. A hardware supply chain that compliance programs weren’t designed for.

AI infrastructure investment is projected to exceed $10 trillion over the next decade. The hardware that powers that investment — semiconductors, rare earth components, finished devices — passes through supply chains of extraordinary complexity. Dozens of handoffs. Hundreds of sub-suppliers. Materials originating in regions that regulators around the world are actively scrutinizing.

The U.S. Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) creates a rebuttable presumption of forced labor for goods with inputs from certain regions, placing the burden of proof on importers — not enforcement agencies. The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) requires verified due diligence on supply chains for covered commodities. The EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) extends mandatory human rights and environmental due diligence obligations across large enterprises operating in Europe.

What these frameworks share is a common demand: verified provenance, not inferred mapping.

This session explores the transition from inferred, gap-prone networks to transparency through primary data — and what that means for compliance programs operating under current regulatory requirements.

UFLPA

Creates a rebuttable presumption of forced labor for goods with inputs from certain regions. The burden of proof falls on importers. Verified provenance is required — probabilistic mapping is not sufficient to rebut.

EUDR

Requires verified due diligence on supply chains for covered commodities. Documentation of origin must be traceable, defensible, and current under regulatory review.

EU CSDDD

Extends mandatory human rights and environmental due diligence obligations across large enterprises operating in Europe — requiring documented traceability, not self-reported compliance.

Session Agenda

What you will learn

A dedicated session of practitioner-focused content. Here’s what we’ll cover on April 29th:

01 — Precision

Precision Risk Targeting: Moving Beyond Broad Supplier Surveys

How to use integrated corporate ownership and trade data to identify the specific branches of a supply chain that present the highest regulatory and ethical risk — without manual outreach at scale.

02 — Triangulation

The Power of Data Triangulation: Building a Layered Compliance Picture

Strategies for layering external intelligence (corporate ownership, sanctions, trade flows) over internal product data to gain visibility into the “invisible middle tiers” of the supply chain.

03 — Supplier Fatigue

Solving Supplier Fatigue: From Repetitive Requests to Interoperable Data

The operational case for replacing manual questionnaire cycles with structured, standardized data flows — so supplier submissions satisfy multiple downstream requirements simultaneously.

04 — TAT Standard

The TAT Traceability Standard: Inside the New Industry Baseline

An inside look at the Tech Against Trafficking (TAT) traceability framework — what it requires, why the world’s largest technology companies developed it collaboratively, and what it means for your program.

05 — Live Demo

From Entities to Items: A Live Demonstration

How Sayari Guide and Source Intelligence work together in a unified workflow — from entity screening and ownership mapping to full material declaration review and compliance verification.

Who Should Attend

Built for senior compliance practitioners

Chief Compliance Officers, Supply Chain Risk Managers, procurement leads, and sustainability professionals at companies that source, manufacture, or sell physical products — especially in technology, electronics, and industrial sectors.

The Methodology Gap

What primary-data traceability sees that probabilistic mapping doesn’t.

Traditional Compliance Approach
compliance_check({ supplier: “Acme Components Ltd”, method: “annual_questionnaire” }) result: { sanctions_match: false, ownership_screened: true, self_reported: “compliant”, product_provenance: // NOT ASSESSED material_origins: // NOT ASSESSED tier_2_suppliers: // NOT VISIBLE } // CBP inquiry arrives 8 months later. // Detained: component from // UFLPA-scrutinized region. HOLD: rebuttable presumption triggered
Sayari Guide + Source Intelligence
sayari.screen_entity(“Acme Components Ltd”) source_intelligence.get_fmd(product_id) result: { entity_ownership: 4 tiers resolved, trade_records: verified, 847 records, material_declaration: full FMD on file, component_origin: verified, non-XUAR, tier_2_exposure: no flags raised, uflpa_status: “rebuttable – documented” } // CBP inquiry arrives. // Evidence package: ready. CLEARED: provenance documented to origin

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

Common questions about the session, the regulatory landscape, and the methodology.

The Tech Against Trafficking (TAT) traceability standard is a framework developed collaboratively by the world’s leading technology companies — including Microsoft — to establish a common baseline for supply chain transparency in the technology industry. The standard defines requirements for authoritative supply chain records, external data integration, and full material declarations. It is designed to help companies meet the requirements of forced labor legislation (including UFLPA), human rights due diligence frameworks, and ESG disclosure obligations.
Entity-level supply chain risk management focuses on the companies in a supply chain — their ownership structures, legal registrations, sanctions exposure, and compliance status. It answers the question: who is in my supply chain? Product-level supply chain risk management focuses on what flows through the supply chain — the materials, components, and finished goods, their origins, and whether their provenance can be verified. For full compliance with laws like UFLPA and EUDR, companies need both layers.
Supplier fatigue refers to the compounding burden placed on midstream suppliers by repetitive, manual compliance data requests. When each downstream buyer sends separate questionnaires, documentation requests, and audit demands, suppliers face an unsustainable administrative load. The consequences are predictable: declining response rates, lower-quality responses, longer turnaround times, and growing gaps in the compliance data that downstream buyers depend on.
A full material declaration (FMD) is a comprehensive, supplier-reported inventory of all materials, substances, and components in a product — including the specific identity, quantity, and origin of each input. For UFLPA compliance, FMDs are critical because they provide the primary-data evidence needed to rebut the presumption of forced labor origin. An FMD that traces the origin of all materials in a product, combined with external corporate intelligence, creates the kind of documented, verifiable provenance that CBP enforcement actions require.
Under UFLPA, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) applies a rebuttable presumption to goods produced wholly or in part in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) of China, or by entities on the UFLPA Entity List. To secure entry of detained goods, an importer must provide CBP with “clear and convincing evidence” that the goods were not produced with forced labor — typically requiring a fully documented, verified supply chain including material origins, supplier identity, and evidence of due diligence conducted across the full supply chain.
Data triangulation in supply chain compliance refers to the practice of combining multiple independent data sources to build a more accurate and complete picture of supply chain risk than any single source can provide. It is particularly valuable for identifying risk in the “invisible middle tiers” — the sub-suppliers and component manufacturers that don’t appear on a company’s approved vendor list but whose materials, ownership structures, or geographic locations carry compliance exposure.
Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) requirements share a fundamental structure with physical supply chain traceability requirements. Both require a documented inventory of inputs, an accounting of their origins and vulnerabilities, and a machine-readable format that can be shared and verified by downstream parties. As compliance obligations converge across physical and digital supply chains, organizations that build interoperable data infrastructure for one domain are well-positioned to extend it to the other.
