Didit’s AML screening process leverages a comprehensive and up-to-date +1300 databases of global watchlists. Our dataset includes sanctions lists, law enforcement wanted lists, politically exposed persons (PEPs) lists, and other regulatory and compliance-related data sources from various countries and international organizations.

​
1. Watchlist & Sanctions Screening

We maintain up‑to‑date coverage of all sanctions, watchlists, law‑enforcement, and regulatory databases, including:
  • Global sanctions regimes (e.g., OFAC SDN, UN, EU, HM Treasury)
  • Government enforcement lists (e.g., FBI/Interpol Most Wanted, exclusion/debarment lists)
  • Regulatory enforcement and financial crime (e.g., fraud warnings, disciplinary actions)

​
2. Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs), RCAs & State‑Owned Entities

We screen for:
  • PEPs across various tiers (heads of state, officials, etc.)
  • Relatives and Close Associates (RCAs)
  • Entities with political ties (e.g., state-owned or state-invested businesses)

​
3. Adverse Media & Negative News Screening

We analyze global news sources (50k+), tagging records across 415+ risk categories for structured sentiment analysis, including allegations, investigations, convictions, and reputational issues

​
4. Crime & Financial Crime Categories

Our coverage includes individuals/entities associated with:
  • Fraud, misappropriation, corruption, tax evasion, and other financial crimes
  • Drug‑trafficking and narcotics offenses
  • Bribery and anti‑corruption

​
5. Terrorism & Insurgency

We detect connections to terrorist activity, including support networks, financiers, and operational personnel—profiling these cases both pre- and post-official designation

​
6. Geopolitical & Country Risk

Our system flags activities linked to:
  • High-risk countries (e.g., FATF grey‑ or black‑listed, embargoed nations)
  • Entities like shell banks or sanctioned state financial institutions

​
7. Regulatory, Judicial & Enforcement Risk

Coverage extends to:
  • Persons/entities subject to court rulings (e.g., convicted, indicted)
  • Regulatory actions (e.g., fines, debarments)
  • Asset seizures and enforcement measures ([uabonline.org][5], [moodys.com][8])

​
8. Special‑Interest & Corporate Entities

We cover a wide range of high-risk corporate structures, including:
  • Shell banks, state-backed financial entities, and bogus institutions
  • Corporates under sanction or regulatory scrutiny

​
Granular Taxonomy & Structured Metadata

Every match is enriched with structured metadata to aid remediation and risk prioritization:
  • Categorization: primary categories and subcategories
  • Identifiers: PEP status, sanctions type, conviction status, etc.
  • Other fields: aliases, birth date, nationality, position/title, etc.
This ensures easy filtering and supports detailed differential risk workflows.
