Seamless integration with leading compliance solutions
As the amount of available information grows and risks evolve dynamically, the integration of AMM into modern compliance and risk management systems is essential.

Identification of suspicious cases and protection against potential financial losses through active media monitoring.
Strengthening Risk-Based KYC Processes

Adverse Media Monitoring (AMM) and sanctions list screening are both essential tools in the compliance and risk management of financial organizations. However, they follow different approaches and have distinct objectives.
Here is a clear comparison of the two:
Adverse Media Monitoring
... is proactive, covering dynamic risks and media coverage that go beyond formal sanctions.
Sanctions List Screening
... complements Adverse Media Monitoring and serves to identify formally sanctioned entities.
In addition to sanction lists, we provide your compliance team with a list of individuals and organizations that have appeared in the news in a problematic context.
We use a risk-based approach in line with the Wolfsberg Group recommendations to ensure an optimal balance between the vast number of available articles and a manageable volume for processing.
