Overview

High-Risk Entities is a ZIGRAM data asset and monitoring capability that helps compliance and risk teams detect, profile and monitor individuals and organisations that present elevated AML/financial-crime risk — including PEPs, shell companies, high-net-worth individuals, correspondent banks, risky blockchain addresses and other emerging threat actors. The asset supplies structured entity lists, risk attributes and continuous monitoring signals that can be integrated into screening, transaction monitoring and due-diligence workflows to prioritise investigations and reduce regulatory exposure.

Features and Capabilities

• Coverage & Entity Types: Includes profiles for PEPs, shell companies, HNWIs, correspondent banks, high-risk blockchain addresses and other flagged entities; adaptable to emerging entity types.
• Continuous Monitoring & Alerts: Near-real-time monitoring for newly observed risk signals and events with alerting to surface changes in entity risk.
• Risk Attributes & Scoring: Structured risk attributes (e.g., sanctions exposure, adverse media, ownership opacity) and scoring to prioritise investigative effort.
• Integration & Data Delivery: Designed as a SaaS/data asset to feed AML/KYC systems, screening pipelines and transaction monitoring engines via APIs or data exports.
• Emerging Threat Detection: Tracks non-traditional and emerging vectors (metaverse entities, rogue apps, high-risk online players) to help spot novel risks early.
• Regional & Global Coverage: Multi-jurisdictional coverage and country monitoring to support cross-border compliance requirements.
• Use Cases: Enhanced due diligence (EDD), alert enrichment, watchlist management, adverse-media triage and investigative research workflows.
