Adverse Media Screening is a reliable solution designed to help businesses ensure they are not associated with entities involved in illicit activities, thereby maintaining their brand reputation. In partnership with ComplyAdvantage, a leader in AI-powered risk detection, Achilles provides buying organisations with verified insights into supplier risks, identifying adverse media coverage that could impact reliability and reputation.
Why Adverse Media matters to your business?
With increasing regulatory scrutiny, businesses must conduct thorough due diligence to avoid associations with entities involved in illicit activities. Failure to do so can result in heavy financial penalties, legal consequences, and reputational damage. Adverse media screening is an essential tool for mitigating risk, allowing businesses to identify potential threats before they escalate.
