Our Data Infrastructure

Every risk decision you make is only as good as the data behind it.

Thousands of sources. Dozens of formats. Different languages, schemas and update schedules. The world's risk intelligence data was never built to work together, until now.

  • 15K+ sources
  • 200+ jurisdictions

The problem

A world of disconnected data

Risk intelligence doesn't fail because it's hard to read. It fails because the data underneath it was never built to connect. Sources that don't know about each other. Formats that can't speak to each other. Updates on different cycles, governed by different standards, in different languages.

01

Siloed by design

Watchlist data. Adverse media. Corporate registries. Court records. Each built independently, with no intention of ever connecting to the others.

02

Different languages

Structured SQL. Unstructured web text. Government XML. PDFs. Each source speaks a different data language, with no shared schema, identifier or format.

03

Out of sync

Each source updates on its own schedule. A risk surfacing today may not appear in your tools until tomorrow, or next week. Regulators don't wait.

The in-house trap

Companies try to solve this themselves. Most are still trying.

Building a proprietary data intelligence layer sounds logical, until you meet the true scale of what it requires. The organisations that have tried know: this is not a data pipeline problem. It is a decade-long infrastructure challenge.

Time

Years,
not months.

In-house data projects rarely finish. Regulatory requirements shift. Sources go dark. Maintenance never ends.

Cost

Far more
than it looks.

Data licensing. AI engineers. Legal review. Infrastructure. The hidden costs dwarf the build, and most discover this too late.

Coverage

Permanent
blind spots.

No team covers 15,000+ sources across 200 jurisdictions. In compliance, the source you're missing is the one that matters.

Our answer

From raw data to actionable intelligence

We don't just aggregate data. We ingest it, normalise it, resolve identities across sources, enrich it with context and synthesise it into intelligence your compliance team can act on, and your auditors can defend.

Connecting what can't be connected

Aggregation is easy. Anyone can pull a list. The hard problem, the one that actually protects your organisation, is determining that “J. Smith, Board Member, ABC (Pty) Ltd” and “John Andrew Smith, Director, ABC Holdings International” are the same person. Our AI resolves this at scale, across thousands of sources, in milliseconds.

What we monitor

Across every dimension of risk

Eight distinct source categories, each continuously monitored, normalised and enriched by our intelligence infrastructure.

Watchlist & screening databases

OFAC, UN Security Council, EU, UK HMT/OFSI, FIC, INTERPOL and 44+ more databases, continuously updated across all major jurisdictions.

PEP registers & political exposure

Global and regional PEP registries covering heads of state, government officials and their immediate associates.

Corporate registries & ownership

Company registration, beneficial ownership structures and directorship records from official registries across 200+ jurisdictions.

Unstructured media & adverse content

Tens of millions of articles, reports and publications, parsed, deduplicated and scored for credibility and relevance across languages and regions.

Court records & litigation

Civil and criminal court filings, judgments and ongoing litigation from global legal databases and official court records.

ESG & governance data

Environmental controversies, social violations and governance failures from international ESG ratings and investigative reporting.

Regulatory enforcement actions

Fines, debarments and enforcement filings from regulators across FATF member states and beyond.

Government & official databases

Official blacklists, debarment registers and enforcement actions from government authorities across 200+ jurisdictions.

Global reach

200+ countries. Zero blind spots.

From major financial centres to high-risk corridors, with particular depth across Africa, the FATF grey-list landscape and emerging-market jurisdictions where off-the-shelf solutions consistently fall short.

Always current

Risk intelligence data that never stops updating.

A risk that emerged this morning should appear in your next screening, not in next month's batch update. Our infrastructure runs continuous ingestion cycles so your intelligence reflects the current state of the world, not yesterday's snapshot.
