Solution

PEP & Sanctions Screening

Sanctions, PEP & Adverse Media Screening

Screen customers and counterparties against financial crime risk with greater context and control

Screening sits inside the compliance case rather than beside it, so a reviewer sees the customer, the match and the evidence together — and the outcome is recorded where auditors will look for it.

The challenge

Business problem

Screening often produces high alert volumes with limited context, making it hard to evidence why a match was cleared or escalated.

The response

The JRC RegRisk solution

Screening is applied within the compliance case, so every match, decision and rationale is recorded against a named reviewer alongside the customer record.
