Risk and compliance data, screening, and due diligence platform for AML, sanctions, and anti-corruption programs.
Dow Jones Risk & Compliance competes on the breadth and curation of its licensed risk data, combining sanctions, politically exposed person, adverse media and corporate records for screening and monitoring workflows. Its datasets are aimed at organisations that want established, regulation-aligned content rather than a build-it-yourself approach.
The business commissions independent ISAE 3000 assurance over its sanctions data and draws on news and research assets from across Dow Jones. That combination supports customers embedding risk data directly into existing compliance platforms alongside specialist screening and monitoring tools.
Dow Jones Risk & Compliance is part of Dow Jones & Company, the News Corporation subsidiary whose properties also include The Wall Street Journal, Barron's, MarketWatch and Factiva. The unit applies Dow Jones's news and business-information assets to compliance and third-party risk use cases.
Over time the business broadened from screening data for sanctions and politically exposed persons into monitoring platforms, due-diligence research, and data feeds and APIs. It now serves compliance teams internationally across financial-crime, corruption and trade-risk workflows.
Demand for risk and compliance data is shaped by tightening anti-money-laundering, sanctions, anti-bribery and trade-compliance rules across financial services, professional services and multinational corporate groups. Regulated firms increasingly seek continuous customer and third-party screening rather than periodic checks.
The segment is contested by incumbent information providers and by specialist screening and regtech vendors, which pushes suppliers to differentiate on data coverage, auditability and integration. Dow Jones's parent company has continued to point to risk and compliance as an area of growth within its professional information business.
Dow Jones Risk & Compliance is the risk and compliance data and technology business of Dow Jones & Company, serving financial institutions, corporations and professional-services firms that need screening, monitoring and due-diligence coverage. It packages licensed risk data, screening software and research services for compliance teams.
The portfolio spans structured risk data and APIs, the RiskCenter screening and monitoring products, third-party due diligence, and analyst-produced due-diligence and enhanced due-diligence reports. Coverage addresses anti-money laundering, sanctions, anti-bribery and corruption, trade compliance and other financial-crime obligations.
