Company profiles

Building on over a century of risk expertise, Moody’s curates data on over 600 million private and public companies to provide deep insight into existing and prospective suppliers’ risk levels.

02 Supplier Performance Risk scores

Supplier Performance Risk scores

A supplier’s financial weakness is the best predictor of supplier performance risk. Our proprietary Supplier Performance Risk score alerts you to likely significant problems in your supplier’s performance. 

03 Sanction and compliance

Sanctions and compliance

New sanctions are imposed—on average—several times each day. Our global compliance database helps create a robust due diligence process for sanctions, anti-corruption, and other supply chain compliance imperatives.

Cybersecurity scores

Cyber breaches impacting suppliers are a threat to your proprietary information—not only your suppliers’ operations. An effective defense starts with segmentation of suppliers based on the sophistication of your suppliers’ cyber defenses. Knowing who is most vulnerable will inform the action you take to minimize your risk exposure.

05 API integration

API integration

We provide various delivery options of our scorecards and other risk assessments, including a contemporary API and customized data feeds, to receive our analytics directly into your own tools.
