PEPs, Sanctions and Adverse Media
Screen against global PEPs, sanctions, and adverse media to uncover high-risk relationships early and stay compliant.
Manual PEPs, sanctions, and adverse media checks are slow, error-prone, and often miss critical changes. This leaves businesses vulnerable to compliance failures, reputational damage, and financial risk.
Red Flag Alert’s digital PSAM screening combines global PEPs, sanctions, and adverse media checks with real-time monitoring and a full audit trail. This helps teams identify high-risk relationships early and act with certainty.
Screen individuals and businesses against domestic and international PEP and sanctions databases to stay compliant and flag high-risk subjects.
Scan millions of global news articles, blogs, and reports to detect reputational or compliance risks linked to clients, suppliers, or partners.
Cross-reference data from multiple bureaus with digital verification to reduce false positives and human error, allowing your teams to focus their efforts on genuine risks.
Connect PEPs, sanctions and adverse media checks to AML workflows and enhanced due diligence, so higher‑risk cases get the extra attention regulators expect.
Continuously monitor subjects and receive real-time alerts for changes in PEP, sanctions, or adverse media status, helping your teams act quickly when risk increases.
Store all screening results and decisions securely in one place, ensuring records are audit-ready for regulatory reviews or internal investigations.
Choose who to screen, run global PSAM checks, and review results in one place to uncover risks early and support onboarding, monitoring and compliance.
Add customers, directors, suppliers, or other subjects and tailor the level of PSAM screening to match your company risk policies.
The platform checks PEPs, sanctions, and adverse media sources from multiple providers, using digital processes to highlight true matches and minimise noise.
Review matches, record decisions with a digital audit trail, and set up monitoring to trigger alerts for status changes or enhanced due diligence where needed.
From reduced compliance risk to stronger reputation, smarter PSAM screening helps your teams focus on the right relationships and avoid costly surprises.
Global screening and monitoring mean PEPs, sanctions, and adverse media changes are more likely to be caught early, not discovered during an audit.
Multiple data sources and digital matching reduce noise, so your teams can focus on genuine risks instead of clearing avoidable referrals.
Centralised records of checks and decisions simplify reviews, proving to regulators and clients that high-risk relationships are managed carefully.
PSAM screening shouldn’t feel like a separate, manual task. Red Flag Alert integrates all PSAM checks into one platform, making results easy to review and act upon.
