CORE INTELLIGENCE MODULE // 02
Screen 140+ global sanctions lists and PEP databases with zero common-name false alarms.
Compliance officers waste 85% of their working hours manually investigating false positives generated by legacy fuzzy-match databases. Diliguard combines 140+ real-time sanctions, PEP, and adverse media watchlists with multi-factor biographical corroboration, delivering high-confidence match verdicts in seconds.
The false-positive crisis that paralyzes compliance teams
Legacy AML screening tools rely on primitive text matching algorithms. When an onboarding applicant shares a common surname with a sanctioned politician in another country, the system triggers a high-severity alert, halting customer onboarding while analysts manually verify passports and birth records.
This false-positive operational drag costs financial institutions hundreds of thousands of dollars annually, creates customer onboarding drop-offs, and induces analyst fatigue that allows genuine illicit actors to slip through undetected.
