For C3PAOs and assessment professionals
Build supplier readiness and ongoing compliance services with Deep Fathom. Bring your expertise to the work, or provide an independent review of the results.
Ways to work together
Readiness services
Use our multi-tenant platform to deliver supplier readiness and ongoing compliance services. Your methodology and professional judgment shape the client work.
Support the compliance process from initial gaps through the deliverables, then continue the relationship as the client’s business changes.
Explore the service relationshipIndependent review
Bring your independent perspective to supplier work prepared elsewhere, including compliance work and AI-assisted conclusions supported by Deep Fathom.
Your review has its own scope and conclusions. The relationship respects your professional judgment, reporting approach, and independence requirements.
Put our approach under scrutinyWe structure platform use, service scope, and commercial terms around your practice. Formal certification remains a separate engagement under its applicable requirements.
The opportunity
Suppliers need to implement their obligations, maintain their compliance position, and substantiate their representations. Some will want help throughout that work. Others will seek additional scrutiny at consequential moments.
Our view is that preparation and professional judgment will retain value even if fewer suppliers face a prescribed third-party assessment. Deep Fathom gives partner firms a platform for serving those needs across multiple clients.
The shape of reform remains unsettled. Our offer is to work with you on the services suppliers need today and as their business changes.
