Innovation in Compliance: Clarence Chio on Rethinking Third-Party Due Diligence in the Age of AI

Innovation comes in many areas, and compliance professionals need to not only be ready for it but also embrace it. Join Tom Fox, the Voice of Compliance, as he visits with top innovative minds, thinkers, and creators in the award-winning Innovation in Compliance podcast. In this episode, host Tom Fox visits with Clarence Chio, co-founder and CEO of Coverbase, about modernizing third-party risk management as AI reshapes vendor due diligence.

Chio describes how traditional onboarding relies on long questionnaires, SOC 2/ISO documentation, and trust centers that streamline document exchange but were built for human-driven workflows. He argues AI makes the process risky and increasingly meaningless because vendors can auto-complete questionnaires convincingly and customers can analyze them with AI, eroding the value of nuance and attestation. Chio contrasts static, point-in-time evidence with the need for dynamic, continuous security evidence, noting software changes faster than annual assessments and third-party software frequently appears in breach chains. He proposes moving from check-the-box questionnaires to first-principles risk validation, including continuous information sharing, deeper technical evidence, and machine-readable artifacts such as SBOMs. He highlights Coverbase’s open-source Trust MCP, which provides scoped, standardized access to verified vendor evidence for an agent-driven future.

Key highlights:

  • Why Coverbase Exists
  • Trust Centers Explained
  • AI Makes Due Diligence Risky
  • Attestation and Human Loop
  • Static vs. Dynamic Evidence
  • Machine-Readable Trust Future

FCPA Compliance Report

FCPA Compliance Report: Data Analytics in Compliance: Lessons from Scoular

In this episode, Tom Fox welcomes back Vince Walden, CEO of konaAI, which is the sponsor of this podcast series. Vince is well known for his leadership in data analytics, machine learning, and AI, and we take a deep dive into all of these topics through the lens of the Scoular FCPA Enforcement action.

The Scoular case is a unique learning tool for using data analytics, machine learning, and AI for compliance. In this matter, roughly 2,000 near-$2,000 payments were tied to customs brokerage activity. This case illustrates broader uses of data analytics beyond numbers, including mining unstructured text in invoice and payment-description fields (e.g., repeated terms like “re-inspection fee” and Spanish phrases) and linking it to structured AP data.

Walden explains how combining structured and unstructured data reduces investigator bias, how round-dollar and repetitive payments to high-risk vendors can be continuously risk scored using hundreds of tests, and how machine learning can “find more like this” across large transaction populations. We discuss integrating communications data when available, using monitoring within typical 30–60-day payment cycles to prevent payments, supporting self-disclosure decisions amid DOJ guidance, and launching a minimum viable analytics program by starting with AP spend, invoices, POs, and payments pulled from ERP systems.

Key highlights:

  • Structured vs. Unstructured Data
  • Red Flags Round Dollars
  • Text Mining and Three Lines
  • Transactional Fingerprints
  • Machine Learning for Compliance
  • Linking Comms and Payments
  • Prevention Through Monitoring
  • Continuous Improvement and ROI
  • Self-Disclosure and Culture Data
  • 90-Day Analytics Roadmap

Compliance and AI: AI Governance as Compliance with Bennett Borden

What is the intersection of AI and compliance? What about machine learning? Are you using ChatGPT? These questions are just three of the many we will explore in this cutting-edge podcast series, Compliance and AI, hosted by Tom Fox, the award-winning Voice of Compliance. Today Tom visits with Bennett B. Borden, a lawyer-data scientist and former CIA analyst who led DLA Piper’s global AI practice before founding Clarion AI Partners, an AI-focused law firm and development shop building AI solutions with governance “baked in.”

Borden argues generative AI is transformative and that most legal work is highly repetitive and largely automatable, making traditional billable-hour law practice unsustainable. He frames AI governance as a compliance responsibility because AI operationalizes business objectives within regulatory constraints and must produce measurable, defensible proof of compliant behavior. He recommends cross-functional AI committees, using enterprise-licensed tools with enforceable policies, and building trust through controlled systems and quality controls. In a patchwork regulatory landscape, he emphasizes “reasonableness” and proving foreseeable risks are mitigated. He advises boards to oversee AI strategy, warns against delaying adoption, and urges compliance leaders to translate legal requirements into technical metrics (“governance engineering”).
