PEP screening is mandatory across all EU member states under the EU Anti-Money Laundering Directives (AMLD). In Germany it is required under GwG (Geldwäschegesetz), in Austria under FM-GwG, and in Spain under Ley 10/2010. Smart Integrity Platform automates PEP screening for all three jurisdictions simultaneously, with audit-proof PDF reports for regulators and real-time monitoring for ongoing obligations.

Smart Integrity Platform screens against 900+ global PEP, sanctions, criminal watch, and blacklists across 220+ countries and 200+ languages. The AI-powered fuzzy matching reduces false positives by up to 80% compared to manual screening, and the platform integrates via REST API into existing CRM, ERP, or HR systems in minutes — making it suitable for banks, law firms, accountants, and financial institutions across Germany, Austria, Spain, and the UK.

Under the Prevention of Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism Act (Wwft), a compliance check is a mandatory part of the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) screening process. These checks allow organizations to comply with legal requirements to prevent financial crimes such as money laundering, corruption, and terrorist financing. Failure to perform these checks can lead to significant legal problems and fines.

A politically exposed person check reviews whether someone holds, or has held, a prominent public role, or is connected to someone in such a role, which may increase bribery, corruption, or money laundering risk.

Yes. We categorize these as Politically Exposed Persons by Association or Relatives and Close Associates (RCAs). This coverage includes:

Direct Family: Parents, spouses, civil partners, children, and siblings.

Extended Family: As required by specific national legislations (e.g., cousins or in-laws).

Close Associates: Business partners, joint shareholders, and “gatekeepers” such as lawyers or accountants who assist in a PEP’s financial transactions.

PEP Screening checks whether an individual is a Politically Exposed Person (PEP) or is associated with one. Due to their position, these individuals carry a higher risk of corruption and bribery and require Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD).

SIP covers all major global sanction lists (OFAC, UN, EU, UK). Our data is directly sourced from official bodies to ensure adherence to standards such as the General framework for EU sanctions, The UK Sanctions Framework, and the US Economic Sanctions Policy.

Reducing False Positives is one of our core features. We use advanced algorithms (such as Fuzzy Logic and phonetic matching) to identify similarities like spelling errors or aliases. Simultaneously, we filter out irrelevant hits (False Positives) that commonly occur in simple database checks, which drastically reduces your manual review time.

Yes, the Smart Integrity Platform is GDPR compliant. DISS-CO adheres to strict data privacy and security standards, including GDPR compliance for data protection. It employs robust encryption and security protocols to safeguard sensitive information and ensure that data processing meets legal and ethical standards.

Politically exposed person screening is used during customer onboarding, third-party due diligence, AML checks, vendor review, and ongoing monitoring to help identify individuals who may need enhanced review.

Our pricing is based on purchased credits. Your price per credit decreases as your purchase volume increases. This allows you to benefit from a more attractive price level when you require a higher screening volume.

A PEP screening tool can automate name matching, review aliases, compare dates of birth, monitor status changes, and organize potential matches so compliance teams can focus on higher-priority reviews.
