Probeta OSINT Screening Tool

The Probeta OSINT Screening Toolkit is a practical FICA customer due diligence and compliance solution designed to assist firms with enhanced client screening

Using Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) methodologies, the toolkit helps users identify adverse media, sanctions exposure, politically exposed persons (PEPs), reputational concerns, fraud indicators, and other publicly available risk factors relating to clients and associated parties.

The purpose of the electronic screening process is to identify and assess any adverse information or risk indicators relating to a client, beneficial owner, associated person, or entity, including but not limited to:

• Negative media or adverse publicity relating to a natural person or entity;
• Identification of whether a natural person is classified as a Domestic Prominent Influential Person (DPIP/DPEP), Foreign Prominent Public Official (FPPO/FPEP), or a Potential Politically Exposed/Influential Person (PIP);
• Identification of whether a client, entity, or associated person is domiciled in, operating from, or connected to jurisdictions identified by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) as grey-listed or black-listed/high-risk jurisdictions;
• Identification of sanctioned persons, entities, or countries;
• Identification of any relevant court orders issued in terms of Section 23 of the Protection of Constitutional Democracy Against Terrorist and Related Activities Act (POCDATARA).
