Use Case

Risk Management​

Scenario​

A financial institution or banking platform needs to monitor and manage risks associated with negative or harmful information about individuals, organizations, or entities. Adverse media, such as news about fraud, corruption, or legal issues, can significantly impact the reputation and credibility of the institution and its clients. To mitigate these risks, the platform requires a robust solution to detect and analyze adverse media in real-time.

Solution​

Sigma Adverse Media Screening is integrated into the platform's risk management system. The solution specializes in:

  • Global Media Monitoring: Scans news articles, blogs, and other media sources worldwide to identify negative information about individuals or entities.
  • Real-Time Alerts: Provides instant notifications when adverse media is detected, enabling quick action to mitigate risks.
  • Risk Profiling: Analyzes the severity and relevance of adverse media to generate risk profiles for individuals and entities.
  • Integration with Compliance Systems: Works seamlessly with existing AML and compliance frameworks to ensure a holistic approach to risk management.

Using advanced natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning algorithms, the system identifies and categorizes adverse media, helping the platform stay ahead of potential reputational and financial risks.
