Catch continuity risk before you commit.
Check a vendor's payment behaviour and failure risk during onboarding, so a financially shaky supplier is a known risk at signing, not a surprise at renewal.
D&B Credit Score adds a supplier's financial health to their risk profile, alongside their security grade and compliance status. Payment behaviour, the likelihood of failure or severe delinquency over the next year, and an overall business-credit rating, sourced from Dun & Bradstreet, so a vendor's financial stability is one more dimension you weigh before you sign and while you depend on them.
Financial profile · D&B Credit Score module
What is the D&B Credit Score module?
D&B Credit Score is Acuna's supplier financial-risk module. It brings business-credit data from Dun & Bradstreet onto a vendor's risk profile: a payment-behaviour score (PAYDEX®), forward-looking predictions of business failure and severe delinquency over the next twelve months, and an overall business-credit rating, each keyed to the vendor's D-U-N-S® Number. It sits alongside the vendor's security grade and compliance status, so financial stability is part of the same third-party risk picture rather than a separate check in a separate tool. (D-U-N-S and PAYDEX are registered trademarks of Dun & Bradstreet.)
A critical supplier going insolvent is an operational risk, not a security one, and a clean security grade will never warn you about it. You find out when an invoice bounces, a service stops, or a renewal goes silent.
D&B Credit Score puts financial health next to security and compliance on the vendor record, so the question of whether this supplier is financially stable enough to depend on has an answer before you sign and a signal while the relationship runs.
Catch continuity risk before you commit.
Check a vendor's payment behaviour and failure risk during onboarding, so a financially shaky supplier is a known risk at signing, not a surprise at renewal.
Weigh financial stability alongside security and compliance.
The financial signal sits on the same vendor profile as the security grade and the assessment history, so concentration and dependency decisions account for whether a critical vendor can keep the lights on, not just whether they patch.
Use a standard, comparable measure.
Dun & Bradstreet's scores are keyed to the D-U-N-S® Number and mean the same thing across vendors and markets, so you tier financial risk consistently instead of eyeballing balance sheets.
Payment behaviour
A 1 to 100 score reflecting how a business actually pays its bills. Higher means prompt or early payment; lower indicates slow payment and higher risk.
Business failure risk
A forward-looking measure of the likelihood that a business stops trading or fails over the next twelve months.
Severe delinquency risk
A forward-looking measure of the likelihood that a business becomes severely delinquent on payments over the next twelve months.
Overall creditworthiness
An overall snapshot combining financial size and creditworthiness into a single rating.
Each signal is keyed to the vendor's D-U-N-S® Number, Dun & Bradstreet's identifier for businesses. (D-U-N-S and PAYDEX are registered trademarks of Dun & Bradstreet.)
Company-level credit data on your EU and Swiss vendors is sourced through Dun & Bradstreet's European operations, including its directly owned Swiss market.
Company-level financial data on a business is generally not personal data under the revised Swiss FADP, though information about named individuals tied to a company (such as sole proprietors or directors) can be.
Data transfer note
Note: Dun & Bradstreet is a US-parented group, so some intra-group data flows may occur under standard contractual clauses. An EU-only data-handling commitment is subject to confirmation with the integration partner.
Supplier Shield scores a vendor on dependency, reach, and impact, and grades their security. D&B Credit Score adds the financial dimension to the same profile, so a vendor's risk picture covers security, compliance, and financial stability in one place.
