Regulated institutions struggle to keep track of negative media across the internet, amongst an ever expanding number of sources and growing issues with fake news.

Companies struggle to detect risks through adverse media during the onboarding process across many geographies, languages and scripts.

Regulators such as FATF, FinCEN, FCA recommend adverse media screening for financial institutions, but many companies lack the technology or data coverage.
