Sigma360®the #1-rated Adverse Media Screening solution by Chartis Research in 2025, has announced the launch of News Event Resolution, a major enhancement that dramatically improves the platform’s ability to eliminate noise from adverse media alerts at scale. This AI-powered innovation significantly reduces the workload required to process and understand adverse media alerts, addressing one of the most critical issues faced by risk and compliance teams globally. 

Sigma360’s News Event Resolution approach uses advanced AI and machine learning to automatically group related news articles under unified headlines and event types, reducing noise while ensuring critical risk alerts are visible and presented to review teams. The system evaluates both article titles and body text to identify duplicates, ensuring accurate grouping based on content, not just headlines. This update brings a ~28% increase in the number of articles being linked across production versions – with efficiency gains of up to 53% in specific use cases –  substantially cutting down on noise and enabling analysts to make informed risk decisions faster.

Sigma360’s News Event Resolution Delivers Game-Changing Benefits: 

  • Reduced Analyst Fatigue – Minimizes repetitive review processes by grouping  similar articles together automatically.
  • Enhanced Signal-to-Noise Ratio – Reduces article clutter and highlights what matters most through intuitive, no-code turning.
  • Boosts Workflow Efficiency – Enables compliance teams to manage higher volumes of data with existing resources.

“We recognized early on that traditional adverse media screening needed to be completely rethought. Advanced AI capabilities for data optimization and triage are needed more now than ever before,” said Stuart Jones Jr., CEO of Sigma360. “Our News Event Resolution feature establishes a new paradigm for handling media-related risk intelligence, enabling analysts to make informed decisions with unprecedented speed and confidence. This update builds on our market dominance as the #1 adverse media solution and represents the seriousness of our continued investment in research and development on behalf of our clients and the industry we serve.”

This latest enhancement works alongside Sigma360's broader AI-powered adverse media capabilities, such as  customizable risk tuning, advanced materiality scoring, and generative AI risk summarization, as well as other tools designed to help teams prioritize and act quickly and confidently on meaningful risk.
