Profile Categories

Refer to List Categories for a full list of the definitions of the main categories and subcategories.

Rescanning an Individual

A Rescan feature is available for individuals previously scanned for PEP, Sanctions and Adverse Media, and applies for scans that resulted in matches and no matches. This feature allows for a new scan to be performed without the need to re-enter the individual's details, enabling you to check for the latest updates.

Initiating a rescan will commence a new scan using the individual's existing details. The previous scan policies and settings will be applied during this process, with the exception of the watchlists, which will be determined by the organisation's current list access scope.

Rescan activities count toward the organisation's scan activity and usage.

Quick How-To Guides

Filtering for all results with Original Script Name or Full Name


Filtering results by Category

The Category filter only displays the matching profiles with the same category. It does not affect the overall number of matches in the scan result summary.


Viewing profile information in card summary mode


Card and Grid views

The card view is useful for quick access to the matching profiles to view details, however for larger number of matching profiles, the grid view provides an overview of the key information of the matching profiles. The grid view also provides the option to perform due diligence risk assessment in bulk.


Viewing Cached Sources and Adverse Media

Sources and adverse media links can be archived, moved, removed and changed causing broken links in the original URL. Where available, a PDF copy of the article is cached and made available with the date of the captured snapshot.

To access this, look for hyperlinked dates in Date of Capture


Report profile for review

Directly report profile data issues or submit questions about a specific profile. Expand the options for the profile and select the most appropriate Subject and enter your comment or query. If wish to report a profile to be outdated, please include details with hyperlinks to publicly available sources or official lists for review.


For copyrighted media sources, you'll see a question mark against the PDF icon. If the source link is not accessible or the cached PDF is not available, you can request for the copyrighted sources by clicking on the date with the question mark icon. This will request and download a copy of the media, and the link will be available for up to 15 minutes.
