A US-based corporate intelligence and investigations provider needed a reliable way to enhance the entity information available through its own platform. Working across sectors including asset management, banking, pharmaceuticals, technology and the public sector, the organisation supports clients in identifying sanctions, financial crime, supply chain, export control, investment and other compliance risks.
The provider wanted to give its clients deeper, more trustworthy insight into companies operating across the Middle East and Africa (MEA), particularly in markets such as Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and the UAE. To support effective risk screening, the organisation needed access to verified entity information, corporate structures, shareholders, management and related affiliations.
This was not a straightforward data challenge. Information across the region is often fragmented, multilingual and shaped by different naming conventions, registry systems and business cultures. Although the client already used multiple external data providers, it required clean, unequivocal and official-source information that could support its own research and strengthen the evidence base behind its platform.
