Why Sigma360
Sigma360 connects risk data, relationships, screening decisions, and analyst workflows. Teams gain more context around each subject, spend less time reviewing noise, and preserve the evidence behind every decision.
Screen for network risk
Sigma360 unifies identity, corporate registries, ownership, sanctions, PEPs, adverse media, and related parties in one risk view. Investigate the risk surrounding a subject, not only the direct match.
Sigma360 connects direct and indirect relationships, ownership paths, and associated risk, helping analysts understand the full exposure surrounding an entity.
Surface UBOs and deeper exposure
Sigma360 connects direct and indirect relationships, corporate registry and UBO intelligence, and associated risk, helping analysts understand the full exposure surrounding an entity.
Corporate registry and UBO intelligence is resolved alongside sanctions, PEPs, adverse media, and proprietary data, giving analysts a connected view of the people and organizations behind each subject.
Focus on risks that matter
Sigma360 applies relevance and materiality controls, extracts entities and events, and consolidates related coverage into contextual summaries. Analysts can focus on meaningful risk instead of manually reviewing repetitive or irrelevant news.
Instead of sending analysts more articles to review, Sigma360 identifies relevant events, prioritizes material risk, and consolidates related coverage into clear summaries.
Automate compliance processes
Sigma360’s AI Agents automate routine match review, prioritize and consolidate adverse media, and streamline enhanced due diligence with explainable recommendations.
Analysts retain control over thresholds, data sources, escalation, and final decisions, with source-linked reasoning and audit-ready evidence across the workflow.
