AI-powered adverse media screening that cuts false positives, uncovers ESG, compliance & reputational risks across millions of sources in real time.

17M+ sources • 120 categories • 108 languages

Why Adverse Media Screening Matters

Screening the media can give you insights on reputational, credit, and ESG risk. From AML compliance to ESG oversight, staying ahead of emerging risks requires more than just scanning headlines. It means detecting important risk signals early enough to act.

Yet most tools either overwhelm you with irrelevant hits or miss the long-tail sources where crucial information often appears. Think local publications, industry journals, or niche regional outlets.

Business Radar is designed to change that.


We combine outstanding coverage, full corporate structure insight, and AI-verified matching to deliver only the most relevant alerts, so compliance teams can make confident decisions faster.

Signature Capabilities

Full Corporate Structure View

See the complete picture of a company not just the headline entity. Business Radar maps corporate ownership, subsidiaries, UBOs (ultimate beneficial owners), and linked directors, allowing you to screen the entire network for risk. This ensures you catch hidden connections and potential exposures that might otherwise be missed.

Smart Alert Frequency Prediction

Before finalising your monitoring settings, Business Radar estimates the volume of articles you will receive. This allows analysts to fine-tune filters and avoid overload.

Global & Local Coverage

We scan 154M+ sources across 190+ countries every day, translating articles from 108+ languages. A person could never handle this screening volume and would miss hard-to-find local and industry-specific publications.

AI-Powered Precision

Context validations ensure a reduction of false positives to up to 90% and smart feedback implementations mean our system learns from the remaining 10%. Summaries enable you to gain an understanding of the latest developments within minutes, not hours.

Getting started with Business Radar is a seamless process designed to empower you with advanced adverse media monitoring swiftly and efficiently. In just a few steps, you’ll unlock the full potential of proactive risk management and safeguard your organization’s integrity. 

Step 1: Discovery call

We start with a conversation. We learn about your organisation, the companies you need to monitor, your compliance requirements, and how your team currently handles risk screening.

Step 2: Solution scoping

Based on what we learn, we map out the right setup: which sources, categories, and alert configurations make sense for your use case. Platform, API, or both.

Step 3: Data & entity setup

We help you get your portfolio in shape. Whether you’re importing thousands of entities or starting with a focused list, we make sure matching and categorisation are configured correctly from day one.

Step 4: Configuration & testing

We configure your monitoring parameters together and run a test period so you can see real signal volumes before going live. Alert frequency is tuned to your team’s review capacity.

Step 5: Go-live & handover

Once everything looks right, you’re live. We walk your team through the platform and make sure everyone who needs to use it knows how.

Step 6: Ongoing support & optimisation

We stay involved. As your portfolio grows or your needs change, we help you adjust: new categories, new entity types, expanded coverage, or deeper API integration.
