The future of financial crime prevention is evolving towards a more proactive stance, with a focus on leveraging global media and advanced technology to identify and contextualize entity risk. Traditional methods often involve manual searches across various applications, which can be time-consuming and inefficient. Sigma Ratings, an AI-powered software platform, is at the forefront of this transformation, offering a solution that goes beyond traditional adverse media screening.
Adverse media screening, or negative news screening, is crucial for identifying potential risks in customer and counterparty relationships. However, many institutions still rely on manual methods. The future of adverse media screening involves a data-optimized approach that not only identifies risks but also connects and contextualizes them on a broader scale. Sigma360, a part of Sigma Ratings, offers proactive risk detection capabilities through its machine-driven adverse media screening tool.
Key features of Sigma360’s solution include:
- Continuous Monitoring: The tool is always active, scanning hundreds of thousands of global sources in over 50 languages, providing users with speed, scale, and accuracy in risk detection.
- Proprietary Risk Event Types: Sigma360 has developed 18 proprietary risk event types, allowing users to pinpoint risks based on specific event tags, highlight global risks as they emerge, and prioritize material risks for immediate attention.
- ArticleAI: This tool provides deeper insights into entities by automatically drawing connections to other individuals, companies, and databases. It reveals connections that might go unnoticed, delivers faster insights through swift identification of related links, and enhances relevance scoring through co-referenced risks.
Sigma360’s innovative platform enables organizations to stay ahead of potential risks by leveraging unstructured data to better contextualize threats. It is particularly beneficial for teams focusing on financial crime, credit, and supply chain management, empowering them to seamlessly detect and manage risks within their networks.
In summary, Sigma360’s forward-looking approach to adverse media screening and risk detection is transforming how institutions proactively address financial crime prevention, offering a more efficient and effective solution for identifying and contextualizing entity risk.
