Easily integrate our adverse media tool into your existing systems and send data in your preferred format via our industry-leading REST API.

Our adverse media tool currently screens against 11k+ verified national, regional, and local media sources across 200+ countries.

Keyword filtering adverse media tools only capture and analyze data from a select number of media sources, which don’t necessarily provide the whole picture. AI-driven solutions fill these gaps by automatically assigning negative news information to profiles matching real-world entities. In addition to minimizing human error and false positives, AI-driven screening can reduce alert remediation time and increase operational efficiency.
