Why Iris

Iris matters most for high-stakes compliance

When the cost of missing a sanctions match or adverse media signal is measured in millions or criminal liability, you need a platform built for precision and speed.

New client onboarding becomes critical

Screen entities against OFAC, UN, EU, UK, Canadian, and Australian sanctions lists in real time. Catch matches before they become costly mistakes.

Learn more

Regulatory scrutiny is increasing

Maintain auditable records of every screening decision. Demonstrate compliance to regulators with tamper-proof reports and full decision trails.

Reputational risk surfaces fast

Adverse media monitoring scans global news sources for negative coverage linked to your clients, fraud, corruption, money laundering, and more.

Technology edge

Under the hood: why our matching is more accurate

Most platforms rely on a single matching algorithm. Iris combines six algorithms with advanced scoring for precision that legacy tools can't match.

Matching in action Illustrative example, fictional name
Name to screen
Alexandr Petrof Holdings
  1. Normalizing name and transliterations
  2. Checking 6 sanctions lists
  3. 3 candidates found
  4. Scoring with 6 algorithms
Best candidate (fictional) Review
78/ 100 match score
Why it matched
  • Phonetic match: "Petrof" sounds like "Petrov"
  • Alias match after transliteration
  • Date of birth mismatch lowers the score

6-algorithm ensemble matching

Jaro-Winkler, Levenshtein, Token Sort, Double Metaphone, Fuzzy Token, and Embedding algorithms vote together with weighted confidence scoring.

< 5ms per match

12-dimension risk scoring

Hybrid scoring engine combining weighted algorithms (30%) with rule-based scoring (70%) across sanctions reliability, program severity, geographic risk, PEP status, and more.

Weighted ensemble + 12 risk dimensions

Multi-script name normalization

Automatic transliteration of Cyrillic, Arabic, and non-Latin scripts to Latin characters, ensuring accurate matching regardless of how names are written.

Cyrillic • Arabic • CJK

Blockchain-style audit chain

Every screening and decision is SHA-256 hash-chained to the previous entry. Any tampering breaks the chain and triggers immediate detection.

SHA-256 hash chains

SHAP Explainability

Every risk score comes with SHapley Additive exPlanations showing exactly which factors contributed and by how much, fully transparent for regulators.

Per-prediction feature importance

Graph-based entity resolution

NetworkX graph algorithms cluster similar entries across all six lists into canonical entities, eliminating duplicates and connecting related sanctions records.

Cross-list deduplication
How it works

How Iris adds value

From screening to resolution, a structured workflow that ensures nothing falls through the cracks.

1

Screen against all lists

Submit a name or entity. Iris searches across 6 daily-updated sanctions databases simultaneously, using a 6-algorithm ensemble with phonetic matching and multi-script normalization to catch every variation.

2

Score and analyze matches

Each match is scored across 12 risk dimensions using a hybrid hybrid scoring engine. The explainability layer adds context so analysts make informed decisions in seconds, not hours.

3

Resolve with evidence

Attach evidence, add analyst notes, and record decisions with full audit trails. Every action is timestamped and cryptographically verifiable.

4

Monitor continuously

All 6 sanctions lists update daily from authoritative government sources. Iris automatically re-screens your watchlist at configurable intervals (daily, weekly, or monthly) and alerts you instantly when risks change.

Developer API

Screen from your own systems

Create a screening with one authenticated request, then poll for the result. The same engine, lists, and scoring as the web app. API access is included in the Pro plan.

  • Token authentication with the Authorization: Token header.
  • Asynchronous: POST returns 201 right away, then poll GET for the outcome.
  • PII-safe responses: counts and risk only. Names, aliases, and hit details are never returned.
  • Scoped to your organization, like every screening in the web app.
curl -X POST https://iris.s42.xyz/api/v1/screenings/ \
  -H "Authorization: Token <your-token>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "entity_name": "Example Trading Ltd",
    "entity_type": "company",
    "country": "Zimbabwe",
    "sources": ["ofac", "un", "eu"],
    "threshold": 85,
    "adverse_media": false
  }'
Placeholder values only. Replace <your-token> with your own API token.

Iris Delta-Matching reduces re-screening costs by up to 90% by only running agentic RAG on confirmed list updates.

Glossary

Key terms and concepts

Iris uses several specialised technologies. Here's what each one means and why it matters for your compliance workflow.

Delta-Matching

Instead of re-screening your entire client database every day, Iris compares only the changes ("deltas") published on sanctions lists against your monitored entities. This cuts re-screening volume by up to 90%, dramatically reducing cost while keeping detection speed at near real-time.

All Plans

Deep-dive report

An enhanced due-diligence investigation on a specific entity. Goes beyond a standard screening by cross-referencing PEP registers, adverse media, corporate records, and beneficial ownership data, then synthesises everything into a narrative risk summary using RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation).

Pay-per-report • Included in Pro

Retrieval-augmented generation

A technique where the system retrieves fresh evidence (sanctions entries, news articles, filings) before generating its analysis. This ensures every narrative summary is grounded in current, cited source documents.

Pro & Sovereign

PEP (Politically Exposed Person)

An individual holding or having held a prominent public function, such as government officials, senior military, judges, state-enterprise directors, and their close associates. PEPs carry elevated money-laundering and corruption risk, requiring enhanced due diligence (EDD).

All Plans

AML / KYC

Anti-Money Laundering (AML) refers to the laws, regulations, and procedures designed to prevent criminals from disguising illegally obtained funds as legitimate income. Know Your Customer (KYC) is the process of verifying a client's identity and assessing risk before onboarding.

All Plans

6-algorithm ensemble matching

Iris runs six complementary matching algorithms in parallel (Levenshtein distance, Jaro-Winkler, Soundex phonetics, n-gram overlap, token sort, and advanced entity resolution), then fuses their confidence scores to minimise both false positives and false negatives.

All Plans

Continuous monitoring

After initial screening, Iris keeps watching your client roster 24/7. When a sanctions list is updated or adverse media surfaces, Delta-Matching instantly flags affected entities and can auto-trigger a Deep-Dive, so no manual re-screening is required.

Core • Pro • Sovereign

Adverse media screening

Automated scanning of global news sources, court records, and regulatory filings for negative coverage linked to your clients: fraud allegations, corruption investigations, terrorism financing, and environmental sanctions. Results include source citations for audit trails.

Pro & Sovereign

Sovereign compliance

Iris's philosophy of local-first compliance. All data processing, storage, and payment settlement happens within your jurisdiction. For Zimbabwe clients, this means ZiG/USD settlement via Paynow with no international payment gateway approvals required.

Sovereign Plan

Trusted by compliance teams across industries

Financial institutions, fintechs, legal firms, and exporters rely on Iris for their sanctions compliance workflows.
