The standing item your board has been missing: director reputation.
A quarterly board-level reputation review on every director. Scored on 8 pillars, sourced from public evidence, packaged for the next Nomination Committee meeting. Plus deep one-off lookups before any new appointment.
First director seat free. No card needed.
Who this is for
Built for Board Chairs and Company Secretaries who own director conduct.
You are a Board Chair, Senior Independent Director, or Company Secretary at a listed or large private company. You own board effectiveness and director conduct as a regulatory and governance obligation. Today, the reputation of your own directors is not a standing agenda item, even though one bad story about a director moves the share price within hours. You want a quarterly board-level reputation review built into the calendar: every director scored, every score sourced, packaged for the Nomination Committee meeting. The Company Secretary runs the dashboard; the Chair and the Committee Chairs read the report.
Four things a board needs from director reputation monitoring.
The Chair needs early warning. The Company Secretary needs a ready-made pack. The regulator needs an audit trail. We built all four into one platform.
A quarterly review ready for the board portal
Every quarter the Company Secretary downloads the board reputation PDF and drops it into the Committee pack. One agenda item, two minutes, the right level of detail. No consultant engagement, no re-formatting.
Alerts before the journalist calls
Live alerts to the Company Secretary the moment any director's score moves. The Chair hears it from you, not from a Bloomberg terminal at 6am.
Deep one-off lookup before any new appointment
Before signing any NED, Chair, or Committee Chair appointment letter, run a full reputation lookup. $249. Free on the first one. 24-hour turnaround.
Audit trail for regulators and D&O insurers
Every score is sourced. Every piece of evidence stored in the EU under GDPR. When the FCA, SEC, or your D&O insurer asks how you monitor director conduct, you have an answer.
How Reputation Scorecard helps
Executive Monitoring: the continuous layer between your annual board review.
Executive Monitoring gives every director a live reputation score across 8 pillars, updated every week. The Company Secretary gets alerts the moment any score moves. The quarterly board reputation PDF drops straight into your board portal, ready for the next Nomination Committee pack without any re-formatting.
Every score is built from public sources only. The full evidence trail sits in the EU under GDPR, ready to show to the FCA, the SEC, your D&O insurer, or an activist shareholder who asks how you monitor director conduct.

Three ways boards use Reputation Scorecard.
Real scenarios from Chairs, Company Secretaries, and Nomination Committee members.
The quarterly Nomination Committee pack
Every quarter the Company Secretary downloads the board reputation PDF, drops it into the Committee pack, and the Chair walks into the meeting prepared. One agenda item, two minutes, the right level of detail.
The NED appointment vetting
The board is appointing a new Non-Executive Director after a recommendation from the search firm. Before signing the appointment letter, you run a $249 lookup. The lookup confirms the search firm's vetting. You sign with confidence.
The activist-shareholder pre-AGM scan
AGM season opens in three weeks. You run a board-wide scan to surface anything an activist could use during the meeting. You brief the Chair on three items, two of which the Chair did not know. The AGM passes without a surprise question.
Questions boards ask before buying.
Does this replace a Spencer Stuart board effectiveness review?
No, it complements it. Their annual review is strategic. We are the operational layer between reviews: a quarterly scored check on every director, ready before each Nomination Committee meeting, with no consultant engagement needed.
Will my directors know they are being scored?
Your call. Each director can be set to private (Company Secretary only), transparent (the director sees their own dashboard), or board-visible (all directors see all scores). Most boards choose transparent for trust reasons. We give you the controls; you set the policy.
Is this defensible under D&O insurance and regulator scrutiny?
Yes. We use only public sources. Every score is sourced and every piece of evidence is stored in the European Union under GDPR. We give you the full audit trail so you can show regulators, insurers, or activist shareholders exactly where every score came from.
How does this fit with our board portal?
It feeds into the board portal as a PDF. The Company Secretary downloads the quarterly reputation review and drops it into Diligent, Boardvantage, or Nasdaq Boardvantage as part of the normal Committee pack. No re-formatting, no late-night assembly.
What about director privacy?
Each director can be set to private (Company Secretary only), transparent (the director sees their own dashboard), or board-visible. You set the policy; we provide the controls. We process only public sources and store all evidence in the EU under GDPR.
Appointing a new director?
Before signing any NED, Chair, or Committee Chair appointment letter, run a full one-off reputation lookup. $249 per person. Free on your first one. 24-hour turnaround. Every public source listed and linked.
