Dow Jones Risk & Compliance

Dow Jones Risk & Compliance is an institutional provider of structured data on sanctions, PEPs, sanctions ownership (the 50% rule) and adverse media from the world press. Dow Jones is based in New York, United States, and the risk and compliance business dates back to 1999.

Data products The line includes Sanctions and PEP Feeds, Sanctions Control and Ownership (the OFAC 50% Rule), Adverse Media drawn from Factiva, and an API and Screening Engine. The company describes its sanctions ownership database as the strongest on the market, covering the 50% rule applied by OFAC and the EU.

Clients and coverage Target customers are Tier-1 banks, global PSPs, card networks and multinationals. Coverage is global.

Licensing Data is supplied under an enterprise licence. Pricing is not published and depends on the datasets, the delivery method (feed or API) and the volume of screening.

Who it suits Large institutions that need to check not only a named party but also the entities it is owned or controlled by, and that want source-quality press data for adverse media screening to feed their own monitoring systems.
