Category Leader and Best-of-Breed in Watchlists & Adverse Media solutions.

SGR Compliance has been recognised by Chartis Research as:

• Category Leader in Watchlist Monitoring – Name & Transaction Screening Solutions
• Best-of-Breed in Watchlist Adverse Media Monitoring Solutions

This dual recognition reflects our strong market position and continued innovation in delivering advanced screening and monitoring tools to financial institutions, fintechs, obliged entities, and non-financial operators.

It also comes in a milestone year for our company, as we celebrate 20 years of activity dedicated to supporting clients in their fight against financial crime.

Innovation driving new solutions for compliance

Over the past year, we have introduced several key developments that have significantly strengthened our AML suite:

• Entity Recap

a unified, concise profile that collates evidence from all datasets — sanctions, PEP, local politicians, legal & enforcement measures, and adverse media — to provide a holistic overview of an entity’s risk profile. With Entity Recap, compliance officers can validate matches faster, minimise false positives, and triage alerts with confidence and clarity.

• Live Sanctions Screening

a near real-time screening module delivering checks against sanctions lists updated within 60 minutes of publication. This capability is particularly valuable for compliance teams managing instant payments, where rapid risk assessment is critical.

• Profile Manager & advanced tools integration

enhanced integration that enables parallel screening across large volumes of profiles, comprehensive associated-entity checks, and a unified analysis console. This ensures greater efficiency, consistent decision-making, and full auditability across compliance operations.

In addition, we have strengthened our integration with technology partners, ensuring our solutions can be deployed seamlessly within clients’ existing infrastructures and workflows.

Recognition from Chartis

Chartis Research’s recognition highlights our ability to combine comprehensive watchlist coverage, cutting-edge adverse media intelligence, and seamless workflow integration.

Best-of-Breed providers, as defined by Chartis, are distinguished by best-in-class solutions, a growing client base, strong execution, and a clear strategy for sustainable growth.

“This recognition from Chartis Research validates our commitment to empowering compliance officers with precise, real-time intelligence and advanced tools that reduce false positives, improve operational efficiency, and ensure robust protection against financial crime risks.”

Practical benefits for Compliance Officers

Our solutions directly support compliance teams in their daily operations by:

• Reducing investigation time through faster validation of alerts and prioritisation of high-risk cases.
• Minimising false positives, freeing resources to focus on genuine risks.
• Enhancing decision-making consistency with unified workspaces and transparent case histories.
• Ensuring real-time responsiveness to evolving regulatory requirements, including instant payments compliance.
• Strengthening auditability and accountability, with a clear trace of evidence for every decision taken.

Our unique specialisation in adverse media related to organised crime and mafia infiltration adds a distinctive dimension. This coverage is particularly valuable not only for financial intermediaries and obliged entities that need to assess financial crime risks, but also for non-financial operators that must perform AML checks across their supply chains and third parties, ensuring transparency and resilience against infiltration risks (read our dedicated insight).

Commitment to the Market

With a continued focus on R&D investment, real-time data integration, and modular API-based deployment, we ensure our solutions remain fully aligned with the evolving demands of AML/CFT regulation — from onboarding through to ongoing monitoring.

By achieving both Category Leader and Best-of-Breed status in our 20th anniversary year, we reaffirm our role as a trusted partner for financial institutions, fintechs, and non-financial operators worldwide in their efforts to combat money laundering, terrorist financing, organised crime, and reputational risk.
