AI-assisted adverse media

Reduce operational noise to focus human analysis on relevant signals

Monitoring negative press can generate a significant volume of results: homonyms, duplicates, irrelevant articles, or mentions with no real impact on the risk profile.

VIGIL integrates AI-powered contextual analysis to help your teams qualify alerts with greater accuracy. The aim is to reduce false positives, facilitate the prioritisation of cases to review and centralise useful information directly within the KYC file.

  • Contextual analysis of associated articles and mentions
  • Assessment of the operational relevance of the results
  • Grouping reports related to the same event
  • Traceability of searches, reviews, and decisions
  • Final validation retained by your teams

Advanced filters for a more actionable review

Teams can refine their analyses using several qualification criteria, in order to limit unnecessary manual processing and better prioritise alerts requiring in-depth review.

Risk score Prioritising reports according to their criticality level.
Verified source Improved readability of the origin and reliability of the reporting.
Person mentioned Clearer identification of the person or entity concerned.
Person involved Distinction between a mere mention and a genuine implication in the article.
Nature of the report Risk classification: fraud, corruption, financial crime or other sensitive signals.
Documented decision Retention of comments, arbitrations and validations in the KYC file.

AI supports business review. It does not replace professional analysis or the final decision of the responsible teams.

Country risk assessment

A structured reading of the geographical distribution of your business relations

Country risk is a key element of KYC analysis. VIGIL helps your teams identify sensitive jurisdictions linked to a legal entity, its stakeholders, or the structure being analysed.

The platform allows this information to be integrated into the overall assessment of the file, in order to better document the levels of vigilance, reviews, and associated decisions.

  • Identification of countries related to the business relationship
  • Taking into account the jurisdictions associated with the stakeholders
  • Support for risk level qualification
  • Centralisation of results in the KYC file
  • Traceability of reviews and arbitrations

Lists and benchmarks to strengthen analysis

VIGIL can draw on several reference sources to help your teams detect jurisdictions requiring particular attention.

EU High-Risk Third Countries Identification of high-risk third countries at European level.
EU non-cooperative tax jurisdictions Consideration of non-cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes.
GAFI Blacklist High-risk jurisdictions that are subject to a call to action.
GAFI Grey List Jurisdictions under enhanced supervision.
Global Terrorism Index Terrorism risk exposure indicator.
Corruption Perceptions Index Corruption Perception Index by country.
