Risk Assessment + Due Diligence
Know where your exposure lives before a regulator, customer, or headline finds it for you.
Verification only works if you’re looking in the right place. GenuTrace partners with dedicated risk assessment experts to develop pilot programs that map your supply chain, identify where due-diligence gaps actually exist, and build practical, cost-effective plans to close them — before they become a liability.
Why Risk Assessment Comes First
A Testing Plan Is Only as Good as the Map Behind It
Forensic verification, DNA tagging, and isotope testing are powerful tools, but they're only effective when applied to the right nodes in your supply chain. Testing without a risk map wastes budget on low-exposure areas while leaving real vulnerabilities unaddressed.
That’s why GenuTrace works alongside supply chain risk assessment specialists to help clients understand their full exposure before a single sample is drawn. We start by mapping the chain, identifying regulatory and reputational risk points, and prioritizing where verification will matter most — commercially and legally.
What This Looks Like In Practice
Supply Chain Risk Assessment: Tracing material flow from origin through finished goods to identify visibility gaps and high-risk transition points.
Due Diligence Planning: Building a defensible due-diligence framework aligned to UFLPA, EUDR, and other emerging regulatory requirements.
Risk Prioritization: Ranking suppliers, regions, and materials by exposure so testing and monitoring dollars go where they have the greatest impact.
Practical, Cost-Effective Solutions: Right-sized programs that fit your budget and timeline, not a one-size-fits-all compliance exercise.
GenuTrace develops these engagements as custom pilot programs, working directly with clients to scope the assessment and bringing in Bex Hall and Kelly Thompson’s expertise as part of a coordinated GenuTrace-led plan.
