Sanctions and regulator data: transformation and audit

Custom feeds from your provider's data, audited in parallel.

We fit your provider's data to the system you already run: a short, gated implementation, then a utility. A list management utility combines your internal lists into your custom feeds. Every change is audited, in parallel, from the regulator to the point of delivery.

Audit & reconciliation

Every change, timestamped from regulator to delivery

Matched in parallel across every feed. Evidence for your audit teams.

Data fidelity and quality analysis

Every list, record and field validated, provenance verified.

Integration & transformation

Your provider's data, fitted to the system you already run

A feed delivered for testing within days of contract · typically under a month to change format or add a product · four weekly sprints for a file in your own template · one to three months for a new implementation

For you

No change to your data structure. Live in weeks to a few months, with every check done before go-live, then delivered and audited without you running it. Where we replace an existing feed, we need only a sample of your current data to verify it.

For your provider

Standard feeds stay standard. Each client receives data that fits their system, delivered through the provider's own infrastructure.

What you receive

  • Files in the exact format your screening engine loads
  • XML, JSON, TXT, CSV or TSV files, or delivery by API, with prebuilt connectors for engines such as Firco
  • Data cleans, character standards and term substitution where your engine's field limits need them
  • Configuration and approval roles for every extract, with multiple versions of a field configuration
  • Your own file template, column for column
  • Extra fields where they help, such as ownership percentages, with your provider's agreement
  • Only the lists, jurisdictions or keywords you need
  • Your internal lists added at no extra cost, in the same file or alongside it

Your data, untouched

  • Every feed is converted into one common data model, so any feed can be fitted to any schema
  • Every external value comes from your provider; your internal lists are labelled as your own
  • One provider's data is never blended with another's: every comparison is against the regulator's own record
  • Original values are never altered. We hold the original and a cleaned version of every value, so on request you can receive a version to your own standards

Impact assessment · example

Same entities, 70% fewer values to screen

Filtered by provenance, each record keeps only the values its regulator published: faster, more accurate screening with fewer false hits.

We convert your provider's data to your engine's schema and test every value against its constraints (field lengths, types and permitted values, including fields you subset or merge) before go-live and on every update. Problems are found at value level before the feed reaches your engine, not in testing afterwards. Optionally, each screening rule is linked to the data, so any change or data issue is traced to the rules it affects.

Audit & reconciliation · included

Three feeds, every change timed to the point of delivery

Every change on every feed is timestamped from the regulator to your delivery point.

Regulator feed

1 · Regulator publishes

The exact time each change appears, on more than 380 lists, read from primary sources in every official language.

Provider feed

2 · Provider version

Each curated release validated as it is published. The gap from the regulator is your provider's curation time: validation, cleansing and deduplication, measured for you.

Client feed

3 · alignVu transforms

Your provider's data, fitted to your existing schema as a custom feed or connector output, with the change tracked through it.

Client feed

4 · Delivered back to your provider

Onto your specified SFTP or API. Our tracking ends here, at the point of delivery, unless you add a feedback loop (optional) via your provider.

From there your provider makes the feed available to you, as it does today.

Regulator times exact; provider timing to the nearest hour after publication. Provider and client names withheld. The full record-level trail sits behind each row.

Live: every regulator change in the last 30 days

Our production feed, not a demo. Regulators publish irregularly, from a few times a day to once in several weeks, so what counts is how accurately and how quickly each curated list reaches you. We validate every curated release as it is published.

Early warning service

One consolidated notification of regulator press releases, as each regulator publishes.

From the primary source

We read regulator data from acts, gazettes, web lists and PDFs. Agentic extractors read each regulator's publications and configure the readers for each document form. They propose rules from every gap, and a rule is kept only when accuracy rises with no regression. alignVu engineers approve what the agentic extractors learn, and each regulator onboarded makes the next faster. Sanctions today; enforcement, legal and other regulator data on request.
