The audit nightmare

The scenario that keeps compliance officers up at night

1

Your team screens "John Doe" and reviews 20 sources

2

All sources appear clean. No adverse keywords. Client cleared.

3

Two years later: John Doe arrested for fraud

4

FINMA asks: "Show us exactly what you reviewed"

If you only saved "risky" sources, you cannot prove the clean ones were actually clean.

NNSFlow stores every source reviewed, creating a legally defensible record of what your team saw at the moment of decision.

What NNSFlow does

A screening workflow built around evidence preservation and audit readiness.

Evidence Snapshots

Full content capture of every source. SHA-256 hashed. Immutable once screening is completed.

Decision Freeze

Configuration (keywords, sites, filters) frozen alongside evidence. No 'different settings' arguments.

Source Credibility

5-level classification: Official, Verified, Unverified, Allegation, Political. Auditors appreciate the distinction.

10-Year Retention

Evidence retained for the Swiss AML default period of 10 years, configurable per deployment. Deletion events are logged.

4-Eyes Approval

Maker-checker workflow built in. Submitters cannot approve their own decision; reviewers approve, reject, or escalate. Every step logged.

PDF Export

Auditor-ready PDF reports. Sources, decision snapshot, configuration, and audit chain bundled in a single package.

Sanctions & PEP Coverage

Two paths to sanctions screening

Pluggable provider integration. Pick the watchlist source that matches your coverage requirements and budget, or run both side-by-side.

OpenSanctions

Self-hosted, included

OpenSanctions data served by a self-hosted Yente instance. No per-search fees, no data leaves your network. Investigations match against the full aggregated dataset.

  • OFAC SDN (United States)
  • UN Consolidated List
  • EU Sanctions
  • SECO list (Switzerland)
  • Global PEP and crime datasets

World-Check (Refinitiv / LSEG)

Enterprise tier: bring your license

Commercial-grade screening via the World-Check One API. Curated PEP profiles, adverse media, and linked-associate networks for institutions that already license World-Check.

  • Curated PEP profiles with risk tiers
  • Adverse media coverage
  • Linked associates and family networks
  • Refinitiv risk ratings

Hits from either provider land in the same evidence chain, confirmed or dismissed with a full audit trail, frozen alongside the screening decision.
