PEP, Sanctions & Enforcement Screening

Due diligence screening for companies and individuals across sanctions lists, PEP data and enforcement records with accurate, traceable results.

Screening and monitoring counterparties

Screen companies and individuals during onboarding and continue monitoring them over time. Business Radar continuously tracks new entries, updates and developments across sanctions, enforcement and global media sources, so changes in risk exposure are captured as they occur.

Screening capabilities

  • Expand beyond a single company

    Detected signals are validated through curated source selection, contextual analysis and AI-assisted verification layers. This helps reduce false positives and ensures that signals are linked to the correct companies.

  • Screen companies and individuals

    Run checks on both companies and standalone individuals across sanctions lists, PEP data, enforcement records and adverse media.

  • Accurate and verified results

    Signals are validated and enriched with entity data to ensure matches refer to the correct company or individual. This reduces incorrect matches and improves the reliability of screening outcomes.

Built for reliable due diligence screening

Accurate entity resolution

Companies and individuals are matched using trade names, identifiers and contextual data to reduce incorrect matches.

Curated and continuously updated data

Data sources are curated and monitored to ensure relevance and reliability, with updates reflected as they occur.

Validated screening results

Signals are reviewed and enriched before reaching analysts, reducing noise and improving result quality.

Context included by default

Results are enriched with company data, including directors, beneficial owners and corporate structures, so findings can be assessed without additional research.

Transparent evaluation and auditability

Results include traceable sources and audit logs, with visibility into how matches were assessed.

Entity-based screening across corporate structures

Business Radar identifies risk signals linked not only to individual companies but also to their broader corporate networks. By combining corporate identifiers, trade names and company relationships, signals can be linked to subsidiaries, parent companies and global ultimate entities.

Signal verification and false-positive reduction

Adverse media monitoring often produces large volumes of irrelevant results. Business Radar applies contextual analysis and AI-assisted verification layers to confirm that articles genuinely refer to the relevant company.

Frequently Asked Questions about Compliance screening with Business Radar

What do you screen against?

Business Radar screens companies and individuals across sanctions lists, PEP data, enforcement records and adverse media in one check. Screening runs at onboarding and continues afterwards: new entries, updates and developments are captured as they occur, so a change in risk exposure doesn't wait for your next periodic review.

How quickly are sanctions list changes reflected?

Sanctions and enforcement lists are monitored daily. If a monitored entity is added, removed or updated on a list, the alert reaches you the same day. There is no waiting for a weekly batch or your next periodic review cycle.

How do you avoid matching the wrong company or person?

Entities are matched using trade names, identifiers such as DUNS numbers, and contextual data rather than name similarity alone. Signals are then validated and enriched with entity data to confirm they refer to the correct company or individual before reaching your team. This is how we get to a 90% reduction in false positives.

Can we screen our whole portfolio at once?

Yes. Upload a list of counterparties and screen at scale against 135M+ global company records. Business Radar supports company names and corporate identifiers for accurate entity recognition, and screened entities stay under monitoring afterwards so new developments are captured automatically.

How are results documented for audit?

Every result is traceable: source data, entity context, corporate relationships and audit logs showing how matches were assessed. Findings are enriched with company context by default, so most results can be assessed without additional research, and the full trail supports internal audit and regulatory review.

How is this different from a traditional database?

Traditional providers maintain a curated database of profiles, which means you only see risks once an analyst has written them up. Business Radar combines list screening with live media monitoring, so signals surface as they happen rather than after they've been catalogued. And because we screen unstructured sources directly, coverage extends to unlisted and smaller companies that rarely make it into curated databases.
