A person decides on every possible match

Screening finds possible matches; your staff decide what they are. Each one is assigned to a named officer, who clears it as a false positive or confirms it and escalates.

  • Possible matches held until someone reviews them
  • Clear or confirm with a reason
  • Enhanced due diligence when a match is confirmed
  • Every decision written to the audit trail

The result stays with the customer

A screening result is only useful if you can find it again. Results, reviewer decisions and rescreens stay on the customer record, so the file answers the auditor's question on its own.

  • Screening history on the customer record
  • Reviewer, decision and date for every match
  • Encrypted storage with export for audit
  • Ongoing monitoring after onboarding
