Combine this data with a comprehensive record of individuals and organizations connected to sanctioned entities and integrate it directly with your automated monitoring workflows. Then you have a powerful, intelligent solution to meet a complicated challenge.




Intelligent risk identification

Leveraging adverse media

Uncover hidden risk relevant to your operation with the world’s leading negative news screening solution. Our adverse media database monitors from the earliest indication of risk. From accusation through to conviction. Automate your search with carefully selected media sources and apply powerful filters such as risk code, stage, and rating to home in on relevant risk and benefit from decades of analyst decisioning for a reduction in false positives that's driven by AI.



Risk and compliance assurance

Screening for politically exposed persons (PEPs)

Our leading, global, politically exposed persons (PEPs) dataset uses a unique risk-rating system that considers the country, position, level, and event risks associated with PEPs. This data is available and updated in near real-time, so you don't have to wait to identify a new and relevant risk in your counterparty network.
