Criminal Watchlists, PEP, and Sanctions Data

The Public Data Scrapers play a critical role in fetching data from a wide range of criminal watchlists, Politically Exposed Persons (PEP) lists, and sanctions databases. This category of data forms a crucial part of our due diligence and third-party risk management processes, allowing us to identify potential risks associated with entities or individuals who have criminal affiliations, political exposure, or sanctions imposed on them.

Criminal Watchlists​

Our system uses spiders to scrape criminal watchlist data. A notable instance is our Interpol Wanted List scraper, which accesses the list of notices released by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). This scraper ensures we are always up to date with any potential criminal associations of the entities we are assessing.

Politically Exposed Persons (PEP) Lists​

Understanding the risk associated with Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) is crucial in conducting a thorough due diligence process. To aid this, our system includes a dedicated PEP Dilisense crawler. This crawler is designed to extract information from various PEP lists, providing a comprehensive overview of any potential risks arising from an entity's political affiliations. Additionally, we employ the CIA Leaders crawler to keep track of changes in global leadership.

Sanctions Data​

The Python scripts and spiders in our system are also designed to fetch data from several sanctions databases. By examining databases such as the Australian DFAT records, Europe's consolidated list, Switzerland's sanctions list, UK's consolidated list, UN's consolidated list, and the US's consolidated list, among others, we can gain insights into any sanctions or restrictions that have been imposed on the entity under scrutiny.

Summary​

The category of 'Criminal Watchlists, PEP, and Sanctions Data' forms a crucial part of our Public Data Scrapers system. With the help of Python scripts and spiders, we can efficiently collect, update, and manage this data, providing comprehensive and up-to-date insights for our due diligence and third-party risk management processes. By scanning these lists, our platform can provide a well-rounded risk profile of an entity, ensuring that our clients are fully informed about any potential risks.
