Identifying Foreign Ownership Risk in Supply Chains

US supply chain risk management has undergone a fundamental shift in response to national security regulations and mandates. Compliance is no longer just about what you buy, where it was made, or from whom – who owns or influences suppliers is now a core concern of risk management. Originally focused on defense contractors, FOCI regulations now extend to all commercial businesses, even those without classified government contracts. Organizations still relying on name-based screening are falling behind. The leaders winning today are those mapping ownership structures across direct and indirect suppliers using unified data and risk intelligence to efficiently triage and mitigate this risk.

In This Session

• The Evolution of FOCI How regulations have expanded from Section 847 (FY20 NDAA) to Section 889 and the BIS Connected Vehicles Rule, creating ownership screening mandates for all commercial businesses
• Why Name-Based Checks Fall Short Understand the limitations of traditional screening and why beneficial ownership intelligence is now critical
• Identifying Hidden Ownership Risk Case studies showing how opaque ownership structures and foreign control can be discovered through connected data
