Ensuring an organisation’s compliance with all applicable laws and regulations through the process of PEP screening can be a complex task.
An accurate PEP list is an essential part of the risk-based approach, helping to identify politically exposed customers and prospects. WorldCompliance™ Data provides an expansive, market leading PEP list of over 2.5 million PEP profiles and is continually updated by a global team of over 450 researchers to ensure data is as accurate and complete as possible.
Information is also provided on state owned entities (SOEs) – government owned companies or organisations whose senior management or directors will often include public and government officials (PEPs).
The status of PEPs can change overnight, therefore it is vital to carry out PEP checks on an ongoing basis to mitigate risk. Our team of skilled researchers are strategically placed around the world to monitor any changes and react quickly to update PEP list records, with over 88,000 profiles created or updated every month on average.
Sanctions checks are an absolute requirement for many organisations. WorldCompliance Data contains over 123,000 sanction profiles compiled from over 100 sanction lists.
WorldCompliance Data also includes enforcement information sourced from global enforcement lists and court filings taken from bodies such as the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Information is sourced from over 1,600 official government websites including industry regulators, law enforcement agencies, central banks and other government offices. The information covers disqualified directors, penalised brokers, unauthorised banks and most-wanted lists from police forces around the world.
WorldCompliance Data is available via multiple delivery methods, to suit all business types and sizes. With options for automated screening of millions of transactions per day, to low volume manual sanction checks.

When entering a business relationship with an individual or organisation, their exposure in adverse media can pose a reputational and regulatory risk. Every day negative news or unfavourable information about individuals or businesses is reported across thousands of news channels around the world in multiple languages.
Adverse media screening is a critical part of any robust enhanced due diligence (EDD) program. Screening at the onboarding phase and continuing to re-screen all those identified as high-risk is crucial in order to identify accounts that may need to be declined services or monitored closely for usual transaction activity.
WorldCompliance Data monitors information compiled from monitoring over 30,000 news sources to create profiles on individuals and companies linked to a wide range of illicit activity such as financial crime, terrorism and human trafficking. WorldCompliance Data includes 50 adverse media subcategories including money laundering, drug trafficking and organised crime.
