Compliance teams face growing complexity, more information and increasing pressure to make the right decisions.
At the same time, teams are expected to work efficiently and keep customer onboarding moving.

Yes. Delta Screening and contextual false-positive reduction improve match accuracy by applying contextual rules to customer data. This reduces false positives and significantly lowers manual review effort for compliance teams. Delta Screening is explained in more detail further below.
RiskShield Trust is based on integrated LexisNexis® WorldCompliance™ consolidated watchlists, including:
Watchlists are updated automatically and regularly, ensuring screening decisions are always based on the latest data.

With RiskShield Trust, the screening status of your customer base is always up to date. For real-time instant payment processing, the Customer Status API can be queried to ensure that no unresolved sanctions hits exist for customers involved in a transaction. Further details on how to retrieve screening statuses and results are explained in the section below.
RiskShield provides a Customer Status API that allows you to request the current screening status of individual customers. The status clearly indicates whether unresolved or confirmed hits exist across key risk categories such as Sanctions, PEP, and Adverse Media.
Delta Screening re-screens only what has changed, such as updated customer data or new watchlist entries. After the initial full screening of your customer base, only relevant changes trigger re-screening.
Updates to customer data initiate targeted re-screening, while new or changed watchlist entities automatically trigger screening against affected records. This ensures continuous compliance, keeps case volumes manageable, and avoids unnecessary full re-screenings.
Using the Real-Time Screening API, customers can be screened instantly during onboarding. The response returns potential watchlist matches categorized by risk (e.g., Sanctions, PEP, Adverse Media). If hits occur, a case is automatically created in RiskShield and can be investigated in a clean, side-by-side view comparing the screened customer and the matched watchlist entity. The hit outcome status can be queried via a dedicated endpoint.
The built-in case management enables analysts to:
