What is enhanced due diligence?

A standard check verifies identity. Enhanced due diligence covers more ground: litigation and regulatory history, corporate structure and ownership, sanctions and watchlist screening, news and adverse-media coverage, and the public digital footprint. In Canada it is the level of review regulated businesses apply to higher-risk relationships, and the one lawyers, investigators and insurers commission ahead of a transaction, a senior appointment, a partnership or a claim.

EDD runs that research on demand. You enter what you know, confirm the right identity, and receive a cited PDF report that sets each finding beside the public record it came from.

Who uses enhanced due diligence

Lawyers and litigation teams

Pre-transaction due diligence, litigation research on parties and witnesses, and asset and counterparty checks before a claim is filed or settled. See how we work as investigators for law firms.

Compliance and risk teams

Cited public-record research for higher-risk files: politically exposed persons, complex ownership, third-party and supplier screening, and adverse media, alongside your own regulatory compliance program.

Licensed investigators and insurers

OSINT (open-source intelligence) research at the start of a file, claims and fraud research, and carrier and company screening that feeds a wider corporate investigation.

Anyone researching their own situation

Run the same workup on yourself to see what public records, news and open sources say about you. If you’ve lost cryptocurrency, a trace documents where the funds went — the kind of record police and your bank ask for.

Reports are research, to inform your own judgment. They aren’t credit, employment, tenancy or insurance checks.

How the enhanced due diligence tool works

Enter what you know. A legal name, plus any identifiers you hold: e-mail, phone, username, company, jurisdiction, carrier numbers or a wallet address and transaction hash.
Confirm the identity. When a name matches more than one person or company, the tool shows the candidates it found and you choose the right one before anything is attributed.
Adaptive sweep. The search plan follows the identifiers you gave, grades every hit for attribution, and keeps unattributed same-name records out of the findings.
Cited PDF report. Most reports are ready in minutes. Deep verification re-checks the important findings against fresh sources; it takes longer and uses two searches instead of one.

About This Tool & Data PrivacyWhat it does · how long we keep it

This tool runs a broad background, integrity, or cryptocurrency trace on the person, company, wallet, or transaction you enter — drawing on public records, official registries, court and sanctions data, news, and open web and social sources — and organizes what it finds into one clear, cited report. We delete reports automatically after 30 days, along with the material behind them; the copy you download is yours to keep, and we never sell or share it. Anything you supply for an optional paid record check is wiped within 7 days, and a subject you place on continued monitoring is kept only while monitoring stays on. It is a research aid to support your own due diligence, not a substitute for it: treat every finding as a lead to verify independently before relying on it.

What you can search — and what you get back

Three subject types, and a redacted sample report for each. Every finding links back to the public material it came from.

A person

Identity confirmed first, then court and regulatory records, sanctions screening, news and public mentions, the digital footprint and breach exposure — every finding cited.

See the full individual report (PDF)

A company or carrier

Registry records, officers and connections, court and regulatory history and adverse media. For carriers, FMCSA (USDOT) and Ontario CVOR safety records where available.

See the full company report (PDF)

A cryptocurrency transaction

The recorded path across Bitcoin and Ethereum-compatible networks, deposit details, where the funds appear to have gone, and the documentation a police or anti-fraud complaint needs.

See the full trace report (PDF)

Cryptocurrency tracing

Cryptocurrency tracing in Canada, on demand. A trace follows recorded transfers across Bitcoin and Ethereum-compatible networks and reports the path, deposit details, possible destination services and the records to support a police or anti-fraud complaint. A trace can end where funds enter a mixer, convert to a privacy coin, or reach a service that pools many customers’ deposits. EDD does not recover cryptocurrency and has no special channel to any exchange or police force. Read our guide to tracing stolen cryptocurrency in Canada, or see asset tracing for matters that go beyond the chain.

If your cryptocurrency was stolen

Do not wait for a trace before reporting the theft.

Save the records. Keep wallet addresses, transaction hashes, dates, amounts, screenshots and messages.
Report it now. Contact your local police, then use the RCMP’s Report Cybercrime and Fraud service or call the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501 (Mon–Fri, 10 a.m.–4:45 p.m. ET).
Notify the platform. If an exchange or wallet provider was involved, contact its fraud or compliance team in writing.

Never share a seed phrase, private key or password. Be wary of anyone who guarantees recovery or asks for another payment to release your funds. EDD documents the path; it does not recover cryptocurrency or provide special access to an exchange, police service or court.

Common questions

What is enhanced due diligence, and how is it different from a standard check?

Who uses it?

Lawyers and litigation teams, compliance and risk teams, licensed investigators, insurers, and people researching their own footprint. Regulated businesses often apply enhanced measures to higher-risk clients; EDD supplies the underlying public-record research for the file. The risk assessment, and any decision that follows, stay with you.

What can I search?

A person, a company, or a cryptocurrency transaction. Company searches cover motor carriers, adding FMCSA (USDOT) and Ontario CVOR safety records where available. Every plan covers all three subject types.

What does it cost?

Essential is $15 a month for 2 searches, Professional $50 for 40, and Practice $150 for 150 with white-label report branding included while the plan is active. Each search uses one of your monthly allowance; deep verification uses two. Canadian customers are billed in CAD plus HST; customers elsewhere are billed in USD, with no Canadian tax. The full terms are shown before you pay.

What is in a report, and can I see one first?

Yes — a redacted sample for each subject type is published on this page. A report opens with a risk summary and the key judgments, then findings by section with a source grade on each, anything that could not be attributed to your subject, the gaps where a source returned nothing, and endnotes linking every citation to the public material it came from.

Where does the information come from?

Public and open sources: court and regulatory records, corporate registries, public sanctions and watchlists, news and archived press, the open web and social profiles (open-source intelligence), public breach data, carrier safety records and public blockchain data. Which of them apply depends on the subject and the identifiers you supply, and anything the tool cannot reach is listed in the report as a gap rather than filled in.

How long does a report take?

Most are ready within minutes of the identity being confirmed. Deep verification re-checks the material findings against fresh sources and takes longer, as can a subject with a large or complicated footprint. A queued report can be moved to the front of the delivery queue for a one-time fee, shown in the tool.

Can I run a search on myself?

Yes. Run an individual search on yourself to see what public records, news and open sources say about you. The report is research for your own use, and your copy is yours to keep.

My cryptocurrency was stolen — what can a trace do?

A trace follows the recorded transfers and documents the path, the deposit details and where the funds appear to have gone — the kind of record police, your bank or an anti-fraud centre will ask for. It can end where funds enter a mixer, convert to a privacy coin, or reach a service that pools many customers’ deposits. EDD does not recover cryptocurrency and has no special access to any exchange, police service or court; only an exchange, acting on a police or court request, can freeze or return funds. Report the theft first — you do not need a trace to file.

What EDD is not

EDD is a research aid, not a consumer report, and it is not legal, financial or professional advice. It must not be used to decide anyone’s eligibility for credit, employment, tenancy or insurance — use a consented screening provider for those. Findings are leads to verify independently, not conclusions to act on unchecked, and the tool can be incomplete or mis-attributed.

How long do you keep my reports and searches?

Reports and the material behind them are deleted automatically 30 days after they are produced, and the copy you download is yours to keep for as long as you want it. Anything you supply for an optional paid record check, such as a date of birth, is wiped within 7 days whether or not the check was completed. If you put a subject on continued monitoring, we keep that subject’s details for as long as monitoring stays on, because that is what re-runs the search. We do not sell or share any of it.
