Frequently asked questions

What are the sources of our data?

The sources of our data are media articles that we obtain from various web portals. We always scan the latest articles to ensure that the information we obtain is up-to-date. In addition to these articles, our sources are sanctions lists, social networks, etc.

How does adverse media screening work?

After extracting the data from the articles, the relevant parts of the article are analyzed using generative artificial intelligence. The results from this process are supplemented with sources to ensure transparency of the whole process.

Who is a politically exposed person?

A politically exposed person is an individual with a significant political position and influence on public affairs. This status often includes participation in government or political organisations and departments. A politically exposed person is also defined as a person's family members (e.g. spouse, child) or close business associates. Whether a person is politically exposed is determined from verified lists of such persons.

Where do we get our data on sanctions lists?

Data on sanctions lists comes from freely available official sources such as government agencies, funding bodies, international organisations and the like. This data is regularly updated as political and international relations evolve to ensure that we provide accurate and up-to-date information.
