Due diligence is a costly process

Each financial services company (e.g. a fund manager, a depositary, an administrator) must vet the others, and answer their reviews in return.

Recipients need no account and no password.

They answer through a single secure link, then everything routes back to you automatically, in one audit trail.

One platform, both roles

Run a due diligence, or respond to one

Under CSSF 22/806 every firm in the fund-servicing chain is due-diligenced by its counterparties and runs due diligence on its own delegates. Cellar serves both directions, from one login.

Run a due diligence

Design your questionnaires, send secure links to your delegates, review and four-dimension risk-score their answers, then keep a board-ready DD register, ongoing-monitoring trail and renewal reminders. The full supervisor workflow.

Respond to a due diligence

Pre-fill your own DDQ once, attach your documents and keep a reusable, versioned DD pack. When a counterparty asks, send a secure, time-limited link to a branded report, then monitor exactly which counterparty opened and downloaded what, and when.

Consistent, comparable, auditable

Four-dimension risk scoring, every DD

Every review ends with the same numeric risk profile, whatever questionnaire it ran on, auto-scored to an overall rating that drives the renewal date.
