Product Feature
See country-level geopolitical risk, tariff exposure, and sanctions screening tied to your factory-level supplier locations and BOM, recalculated as schedules and lists shift.
Overview
Geopolitical Risk connects country and regional instability directly to the parts you buy and the sites that build them. Z2 scores geopolitical risk per country, ties tariff exposure to current US, EU, and multilateral trade policy, and screens every supplier against OFAC, EU, and UN lists. Because the scoring sits on your BOM and your part-to-site mapping, you see which components and which manufacturing locations carry the exposure, not just an abstract country rating.
Z2 analysts assign a geopolitical risk score to each country and refresh it quarterly as conditions change, so a region that looked stable when you qualified a supplier does not quietly drift into high risk without you noticing. The score lands on your part-to-site mapping, so a single rating reads as concrete exposure: this resistor, built at this site, in this country. Sub-tier and country-of-origin data carry the scoring past your direct supplier, surfacing risk that sits two tiers down where most of it hides.
Trade policy changes faster than a BOM does, and a duty schedule that was favorable last quarter can reprice a part overnight. Z2 ties tariff exposure to current US, EU, and multilateral policy and maps it to country of origin on your components, so you see which parts now carry added duty and which suppliers move that cost onto your line. You evaluate a re-source or an alternate against tariff exposure alongside lifecycle and compliance, instead of discovering the cost after a purchase order ships.
A sanctioned entity in your supply base is a hard stop, not a risk to weigh, and the lists move constantly. Z2 screens every supplier against OFAC, EU, and UN sanctions lists and flags a match on the supplier record next to its country score, so a newly listed entity surfaces against your approved vendor list as the lists update rather than at audit. Z2 reports the screening result and the matched list; you keep the decision and the record, since clearing or escalating a match is your call.
Geopolitical Risk is one capability inside Part Risk Manager, Z2's component risk platform. It shares the same data layer as lifecycle forecasting, compliance, and supplier risk, so the country score, tariff exposure, and sanctions status sit on the same BOM and part-to-site mapping that drive obsolescence and supply analysis. That shared layer means a geopolitical flag and an end-of-life flag on the same part read together, so one re-source decision can resolve both.
