Defence Equipment and Support signs Moody’s Analytics
Company will provide integrated risk assessment solution to support operations
Building its supply chain resilience in the era of exponential risk.
Moody’s Analytics today announced it has been awarded a contract by the Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) body of the UK Ministry of Defence to provide global entity data, information on connected individuals, and key risk indicators from its award-winning data insights, predictive analytics and screening suite of solutions.
DE&S manages a range of defense equipment and service purchases for the Royal Navy, British Army, and Royal Air Force. And in response to the UK government’s Integrated Review of Security, Defence, Development and Foreign Policy, DE&S set course for a significant evolution in how it procures and supports military equipment solutions. That included the charge of no unexpected or unmitigated supply chain failures causing disruption to delivery by 2025. DE&S began developing a business intelligence dashboard to assess their risk through several lenses, for their immediate suppliers as well as their wider supply chain. However, they soon found that they required additional risk datasets to gain actionable and valuable insights.
DE&S chose to partner with Moody’s Analytics given its extensive global entity data coverage and industry leading risk models that cover all the risk lenses they had identified. The choice was further bolstered due to the robust and transparent nature of our risk models, and our industry track record for providing leading integrated risk assessment solutions. Moody’s Analytics will be providing DE&S with an integrated risk assessment solution that includes the following datasets and scores: global entity data, sanctions compliance and financial crime data, mergers and acquisition (M&A) data, intellectual property (IP) data, ESG scores and financial health scores.
