18 November 2025 — Ethixbase360, a global leader in third-party risk management and supply chain transparency solutions, and Veresure, a technology-driven integrity and risk-management company based in Australia that helps organisations embed transparency, ethical conduct, and compliance across their people, processes, and third-party networks, today announced a strategic partnership to deliver comprehensive third-party risk management solutions across global value chains.

The partnership will empower organisations—particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)—to meet rising international compliance expectations.

Driving Integrity in a New Geopolitical Landscape

As defence and technology cooperation deepens under the AUKUS security pact between Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, governments and prime contractors are increasingly emphasizing supply-chain resilience and ethical business conduct.

This shift places new pressure on SMEs, which form the backbone of these supply chains, to demonstrate their commitment to international anti-bribery standards, robust due diligence, and transparent third-party governance.

“Partnerships like AUKUS are reshaping expectations for transparency and integrity throughout defence and security ecosystems,” said Simon Wardle, CEO of Ethixbase360. “Through our partnership with Veresure, we are helping SMEs and larger organisations alike meet these demands with Tcertification, a globally recognized due diligence review and compliance credential, alongside scalable, technology-driven solutions that align with international standards.”

Empowering SMEs Through Tcertification

A core component of the collaboration is Tcertification, Ethixbase360’s globally benchmarked due diligence and approval process that sets the standard for third-party integrity. As part of the review, candidates must complete global anti-bribery training, adopt a Code of Conduct, and update due diligence information annually. Reports include daily screening of names against international sanctions and enforcement lists.

For SMEs engaged in defence, security, or international trade, Tcertification provides a clear and credible way to demonstrate integrity, access global markets, and build trust with partners, investors, and regulators.

“By integrating Ethixbase360’s technology and certification process, we are helping organisations of all sizes manage third-party risk more confidently and position themselves for growth in complex, high-trust sectors,” said Guy Underwood, Co-Founder at Veresure.

Comprehensive Risk Coverage

Ethixbase360’s platform enables organisations to identify, assess, and mitigate risks across critical areas, including:
