Compliance & Financial Crime
KYC, EDD, AML, and ongoing monitoring, built as systems rather than spreadsheets.
We build the compliance operations behind regulated businesses: onboarding and enhanced due diligence, source of funds and source of wealth, adverse media, PEP and sanctions screening, AML audits, and the triggers and notifications that keep a compliance function ahead of expiries and events. Some of it uses AI; a lot of it is disciplined engineering. We design the right mix for each control.
Sector challenges
Onboarding and enhanced due diligence that has to be thorough, fast, and consistent across every analyst.
Information supplied by customers that has to be verified against what open sources actually say.
Ongoing obligations, from document expiries to change-of-circumstance events, that are easy to miss and costly to miss.
Regulators and auditors who want every decision explained, evidenced, and reproducible.
How we apply our capabilities
KYC, EDD, and onboarding
Identity verification, enhanced due diligence, and source of funds and source of wealth assessment, with structured evidence capture and a clear decision trail.
Web ApplicationsScreening: PEP, sanctions, and adverse media
Screening against PEP and sanctions lists and open-source adverse media, with match resolution and rescreening on a schedule, not just at onboarding.
AI Automation & AgentsAI confidence reports and open-source verification
Submitted information cross-checked against open searches, company registries, and public records, with a weighted confidence report on every claim.
AI Automation & AgentsAML audits and reviews
Transaction and customer reviews, audit tooling, and reporting that stands up to regulator and auditor scrutiny.
Solution ArchitectureCompliance triggers and notifications
Event- and time-driven workflows for expiries, renewals, thresholds, and changes of circumstance, routed to a human or handled automatically depending on the control.
AI Automation & AgentsAnalyst consoles and case management
Operator tools designed around how compliance teams actually work cases, with audit logs and human sign-off built in.

Case studies in Compliance
Anonymised. The architectures and outcomes are what we can speak to publicly.
AI confidence reports for compliance checks
Information submitted to a UK compliance company is cross-checked against open sources, and AI produces a weighted confidence report on every claim.
On-premise compliance AI on open-source LLMs
Fully air-gapped retrieval and reasoning system over a financial institution's policy and case corpus. No data leaves the estate; every decision is auditable.
Regulatory and compliance framing
- UK Money Laundering Regulations and JMLSG guidance
- UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) AML and social-responsibility requirements
- FATF recommendations and UAE AML / CFT framework
- UK and international sanctions regimes (OFSI, OFAC, UN, EU)
- GDPR and UAE PDPL for personal-data handling in screening and due diligence

Designing AI compliance agents for regulated industries
Compliance AI fails when it sounds confident and lacks evidence. The architectures that work in regulated industries are built around citations, audit trails, and human authority, not model-of-the-month leaderboards.
