DueDiligenceArchitecture

The Business Partner KIT at the Operating Company manages the master data of Catena-X participants, including Due Diligence information. Therefore the Due Diligence information is part of the so called Golden Record of a Catena-X participant.

This information is provided by the Data Providers via the Due Diligence KIT app used by the company that has due diligence information to share with other Catena-X participants, especially OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers.

Data Consumers are normally the OEMs and Tier1 suppliers, that want to do a due diligence check on the suppliers in their global supply chain. They have access to limited due diligence information via the BPDM/Golden Record of a Catena-X participant. More due diligence relevant information can be consumed directly from the supplier (Data Providers) that are connected to the Catena-X data space.

The Data Provider (supplier) determines which Data Consumer (OEM and Tier1) are allowed to see which due diligence information managed by their instance of the Due Diligence KIT application. A specific supplier in the supply chain can be Data Provider for OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, as well as a Data Consumer from supplier further down in the supply chain.

The EDC Control Planes handles authentication and authorization between parties.

The EDC Data Planes execute the actual data transfer after a successful authentication and authorization.
