Risk intelligence built for screening, not just storage.
The data layer behind BriteBase screening: sanctions, PEP, adverse media and entity data with global coverage, continuous updates and the structure that makes every hit explainable. Use it for onboarding, monitoring and investigation.
Bad data is the root of bad screening
Stale lists, thin records and inconsistent structure are what generate false positives and missed risk downstream. The data has to be built for screening.
Stale lists
Data refreshed on a lag means screening against a yesterday view of the world.
Thin, unstructured records
Records without identifiers or context force reviewers to match by name alone.
Coverage gaps
Missing lists or regions leave exposure no one can see.
No explainability
When the data cannot show why something matched, the decision cannot be defended.
Data structured for accurate, explainable screening
Coverage, freshness and structure that reduce noise and stand up at exam time.
Sanctions data
OFAC, UN, EU, HMT, DFAT, GAC and 1,000+ lists across 20+ countries.
PEP data
Tiered politically exposed person data with relationships and roles.
Adverse media intelligence
Relevant negative news with citations, structured for screening.
Entity data
Linked records across aliases, identifiers and connected parties.
Monitoring and updates
Continuous refresh so screening reflects the current risk picture.
Screening explainability
Each record carries the context that makes a hit defensible.
Why the data layer matters
The old way
The BriteBase way
Explainable, configurable and audit-ready
Built so every decision can be defended and every workflow tuned to your risk appetite.
Data quality and relevance
Structured and filtered to reduce noise, not add to it.
Data freshness
Continuous updates keep screening current.
Citable evidence
Source citations support every adverse media result.
Frequently asked questions
What data does BriteBase provide?
Sanctions data (OFAC, UN, EU, HMT, DFAT, GAC and 1,000+ lists across 20+ countries), tiered PEP data with relationships and roles, relevant adverse media with citations, and linked entity data across aliases and connected parties.
How fresh is the data?
It is refreshed continuously, so screening reflects the current risk picture rather than a yesterday view of the world.
Why does the data layer affect false positives?
Stale, thin or unstructured records are what generate false positives and missed risk downstream. BriteBase data is structured for entity resolution and carries the context that makes each hit explainable.
