The screening process simplified
Data compilation
Our investigative teams mine media channels, websites and official records worldwide to compile data on individuals and organizations linked to high risk activities.
Data validation
Once compiled, the teams analyze the results to produce a profile. Each profile takes an average of four hours to complete in order to ensure that the information is accurate.
Profile summary
Each profile contains unique identifiers such as photos, DOB and passport numbers. In addition, each profile has a complete relationship web identifying and linking the entities family members and business associates.
Data updates
Once validated, profiles are routinely updated as soon as there is a change; whether it’s a change of address or the addition of a new relationship to the profile.
Data modules
The profile contents are compiled into a series of database modules, which can be tailored according to your business’s needs.
These are:
- Global Adverse Media: an extensive proprietary database of entities that have been linked to illicit activities by news sources
