Sanctions & watchlist screening
OFAC, UN, EU, UK HMT and regional lists, plus debarment and law-enforcement registers. Every hit cleared by hand, so you review decisions rather than noise.
Typically same day where sources allowOverview / Services
Order one check, or build the whole file.
Every service below can be commissioned on its own or combined. Depth, sequence and reporting format are set with you at scoping; we do not sell fixed packages.
Group 01
Screening & monitoring
PEP & state-owned entity checks
Political exposure with the detail that matters: which office, which years, which relatives and close associates, and whether the exposure is still live.
Usually within one working dayAdverse media screening
Structured search across news archives and local-language press, filtered to what is material and evidenced, not every mention of a common name.
Scaled to language and archive depthOngoing monitoring
Subjects re-screened on the schedule you set, with an alert only when something has genuinely changed, and a note on why it matters.
Cadence set with youGroup 02
Diligence & investigation
Enhanced due diligence
Company and individual profiles built from primary records, registries, court files, regulatory filings, local press, written up and cited line by line.
Depth agreed at scopingUBO & ownership research
Structures traced through holding layers, nominees and offshore registries to the people who actually control the counterparty, with holdings shown.
Varies with layers and jurisdictionsSource of wealth & funds
A documented account of how wealth was built, corroborated against filings, transactions of record and asset history, and explicit about what stays unverified.
Longer lead time by natureLitigation & court records
Civil, criminal, insolvency and arbitration history retrieved from the courts that hold it, including files that were never put online.
Court-dependent; we confirm at scopingGroup 03
Verification & integrity
KYC for individuals
Identity, address and document verification for onboarding, with a clear record of what was checked, when, and against which source.
Fits your onboarding SLAKYB & corporate verification
Existence, standing, licences, directors and filings confirmed at the registry, including free zones and jurisdictions with no open register.
Registry response times varyEmployment & senior-hire vetting
Credentials, employment history, directorships and public conduct checked for senior appointments, on documented candidate consent.
Paced by third-party responsesESG & integrity risk
Bribery, labour, environmental and human-rights exposure in a supply chain or acquisition target, assessed on record rather than on self-reporting.
Scoped to sites and tiers in scopeDepth levels
How deep, and roughly how long.
Levels are a common language for scoping, not a price list. Many engagements sit between two of them, and we say so rather than force a tier.

Deliverables
Delivered in whatever form your file needs.
Some clients want a narrative report; others want a two-page decision note, their own template populated, or structured data into a case system. We agree the output at scoping and can change it between engagements.
01Full narrative report with source appendix
02Short decision note for a committee or credit paper
03Your own template and risk taxonomy, populated
04Structured summary or data extract for your case system
05Verbal briefing first, written record to follow
Whatever the format, the same discipline applies: findings sourced and dated, confidence stated, and a scope note recording what was searched and what was not available.
