FTO and Cartel Risk Has Outgrown Traditional Screening
Move beyond list-based screening
The designation of cartels and transnational criminal organizations as national security threats has expanded the risk perimeter for banks, fintechs, corporates, and globally exposed businesses.
Routine screening remains essential, but static watchlists alone cannot capture the full picture. FTO and illicit network exposure often appears through indirect relationships, layered ownership, trade intermediaries, logistics providers, local facilitators, and politically connected actors.
Sigma360 helps teams find those hidden connections faster, with a unified view of sanctions, watchlists, adverse media, corporate registries, network risk, and Evidencity’s proprietary source-level intelligence.
source-level intelligence
One Platform. Expanded Intelligence. Earlier Risk Detection.
Source-level intelligence, connected to Sigma360
Sigma360 combines advanced entity resolution, AI-powered screening, network risk detection, and continuous monitoring with an initial curated sample of Evidencity intelligence, with broader access to Evidencity’s premium dataset available once integration and commercial packaging are finalized.
Together, the offering helps organizations evaluate FTO, DTO, cartel, and transnational criminal organization exposure; pre-sanctioned individuals and entities; criminal network affiliations, facilitators, and operational relationships; political fixers, corrupt officials, and enabling networks; and forced labor, trafficking, and human rights risks.
This partnership complements Sigma360’s broader FTO/DTO risk management capabilities by adding specialized source-level intelligence that supports screening, due diligence, and investigative workflows.
Intelligence Built for the FTO and Illicit Network Risks Standard Screening Misses
Standard watchlists remain essential, but FTO, DTO, cartel, and illicit networks often operate through facilitators, front entities, aliases, and indirect relationships that are not always visible through name matching alone.
Source-Level FTO Intelligence
Evidencity FTO Intelligence is built from local, in-language sources, vetted media, public records, and regional research designed to add context around illicit network exposure.
Network-Based Risk Detection
Sigma360 maps relationships across entities, individuals, ownership structures, aliases, addresses, corporate roles, and adverse media signals to help uncover indirect exposure.
Pre-Designation Risk Visibility
Evaluate source-level intelligence on individuals and entities connected to FTO, DTO, cartel, or illicit networks before those risks appear through formal list-based screening.
Source Transparency and Risk Context
Relevant entities and relationships can be reviewed with contextual risk indicators, source attribution, and documentation to support defensible decision-making.
AI-Powered Workflow Efficiency
Sigma360's AI-powered workflows help prioritize material risk, reduce false positives, summarize adverse media, and support faster analyst review.
