Agentic AI for financial-crime compliance

Due diligence in minutes, not days.

Scout screens any subject against sanctions, PEP and adverse-media sources in a single search. It assembles the evidence, drafts the analysis and hands the decision to your analyst. Every conclusion is explainable, traceable and permanently auditable.

The problem

Compliance teams are drowning in manual work

Investigators spend most of their time assembling evidence across disconnected sources before any analysis can even begin — and drowning in false positives.

Fragmented data

Sanctions, PEP and negative news sit in separate tools. Analysts stitch it together by hand, one screen at a time.

False-positive overload

Loose matching floods teams with alerts on the wrong people, burning hours on cases that were never real.

Audit anxiety

When the regulator asks "how did you decide?", reconstructing the trail is slow, painful — and sometimes impossible.

Scout — AI-powered due diligence

Three screening pillars, one decision

Every search runs the three pillars of due diligence at once — each explainable and linked back to its source.

Sanctions Screening

Matched against official lists with weighted, explainable scoring.

  • OFAC SDN, UN, EU, UK & UK NCA
  • Interpol, FBI, DEA, Europol
  • Switzerland, Canada, Australia, Japan, NZ
  • FATF country risk (grey / black list)

PEP Screening

Politically exposed persons across jurisdictions, with identity verification always left to the analyst.

  • Typo- and variation-tolerant matching
  • Aliases, positions and countries
  • Candidates surfaced, never auto-confirmed
  • Enhanced Due Diligence checklist

Adverse Media

Multilingual negative-news screening with an attribution check on every article.

  • Fraud, corruption and laundering signals
  • EN / NL / PT / ES / FR / DE
  • Subject's role assessed, not just the name
  • Source, title, date and excerpt preserved

The technology

Frontier AI reasoning, kept on a leash.

Scout pairs a deterministic, explainable matching engine with Claude's reasoning. The AI reads, attributes and writes. The risk level is computed in code — not inferred by a model — and a person always signs off.

  • Risk computed by a transparent, weighted engine — never a black box
  • The model drafts the analysis; it never decides identity or risk
  • Human-in-the-loop by design, aligned with the EU AI Act
  • Every AI call logged: model, input, confidence, output

Governance & security

Built for regulated environments

The controls a financial institution — and its regulator — expect, from day one.

🔒

Tamper-proof audit trail

Every action is cryptographically chained and append-only, with automated daily integrity verification. Real evidentiary value in an inspection.

🛡️

Encryption at rest

Personal data encrypted with AES-256, in the database and in backups, under keys held separately from the data.

🏢

Client data segregation

Logical multi-tenant isolation. One client's data is never visible to another, and provider access is break-glass only, logged and time-limited.

🔑

Strong authentication

Mandatory two-factor authentication, role-based access (Admin / Analyst / Reviewer) and revocable sessions.

👤

Human oversight

The AI assists; the analyst decides. Explainable and traceable, aligned with the EU AI Act.

🇪🇺

EU-hosted & GDPR

Data hosted inside the European Union, privacy by design, and the client owns their data.

Regulatory alignment

Designed around the frameworks that matter

Scout is built around the obligations European institutions actually face.
