Aprovall and Owlin today announced a strategic partnership that integrates Owlin’s AI-powered news monitoring into Aprovall’s third-party risk management (TPRM) platform. The collaboration gives organizations greater visibility into supplier performance and emerging risks worldwide.
This partnership brings together Aprovall’s 20 years of expertise in third-party risk assessment and management with Owlin’s global adverse media monitoring solution for evaluating and monitoring external third-party risk.
By joining forces, Aprovall’s TPRM platform now incorporates Owlin’s intelligence, enabling its 32,000 users to continuously monitor early warning indicators (risk scores) across millions of news articles. These insights empower them to act on third parties requiring special attention immediately. The capability supports compliance with European regulations, including the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDD), Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), and the NIS 2 cybersecurity directive.
As a partner, Owlin enhances Aprovall’s offering by providing early warning indicators based on diverse sources, including adverse media, sanctions data, politically exposed persons (PEPs), and national regulations, covering more than 3 million sources in multiple languages.
Emmanuel Poidevin, President of Aprovall:
“To better serve our clients’ needs in terms of third-party risk and performance management, we were looking for the right partner in terms of risk event monitoring and adverse media. The cultural and technical fit with Owlin was a success from day one. This integration allows our customers to receive daily updates across various themes, including financial, sustainability & ESG, performance, compliance, capacity, and cyber risk, within the platform and its APIs.”
Sjoerd Leemhuis, CEO of Owlin, adds:
“With escalating trade tensions, shifting tariffs and increasing regulatory pressure, companies need sharper tools to navigate uncertainty. By bringing Owlin’s real-time intelligence into Aprovall’s platform, we give organisations the foresight to anticipate change, mitigate third-party risks and stay competitive in an increasingly volatile global economy.”
