Risk & AML
Adverse media screening
Scanning news and online sources for negative coverage.
Definition
Adverse media screening searches news and online sources for negative information — fraud, crime, sanctions — linked to a person or business, as part of due diligence.
Why it matters
It catches risk signals that structured registries miss, giving a fuller picture before a high-value or high-risk relationship.
