Compliance and sanctions screening

Screen commercial accounts and their key principals against OFAC sanctions, PEP databases, and adverse media before binding coverage. Ensure underwriting warranties are supportable.

Screen Global Freight Partners LLC and its listed officers (Ahmed Al-Rashid, CEO; Zhang Wei, CFO) before binding their marine cargo policy.

Global Freight Partners LLC: OFAC — clear. Ahmed Al-Rashid: clear, no PEP flags. Zhang Wei: clear. Company: 2 adverse media hits (customs delay violations, 2023, resolved). No sanctions exposure. Clear to bind with standard marine cargo terms.

Workers compensation class research

Research workers compensation loss cost trends, injury frequency, and regulatory changes for specific occupational class codes. Support accurate class code assignment and loss cost multiplier selection.

Research workers compensation loss trends for NCCI class code 8810 (clerical) and 5537 (air conditioning installation). Are there frequency or severity trends I should factor into pricing?

Class 8810 (clerical): frequency down 8% post-remote work adoption, severity up 15% (ergonomic and mental health claims). Class 5537 (A/C installation): frequency stable, severity up 22% driven by heat-related illness claims and falls from heights. OSHA heat illness standard under rulemaking — may affect 5537 costs significantly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can these tools replace dedicated underwriting platforms?

No — dedicated UW platforms (Guidewire, Duck Creek, Applied) handle policy administration, rating, and workflow. These tools augment underwriting research by providing rapid intelligence on accounts, industries, and geographies that complements your rating and risk evaluation process.

How reliable is the regulatory violation data?

Regulatory Actions aggregates from official government databases including OSHA, EPA, CFPB, and state agencies. Data completeness depends on the agency's public disclosure practices. For formal underwriting decisions, always verify findings with original source documents.

Can I use the cyber scan tools on accounts without their consent?

The Security Scanner assesses publicly exposed infrastructure — information that is visible to anyone on the internet. This is standard practice in cyber underwriting. No credentials or account access are used. For deeper assessments requiring cooperation, formal questionnaires and security audits are appropriate.

What industries have the most useful research data available?

Heavily regulated industries (food processing, construction, manufacturing, transportation, healthcare) have the richest OSHA, EPA, and regulatory data. Loss trend research is best for industries with substantial published actuarial and insurance association data. Newer or niche industries may require more custom Deep Research.

How do I research accounts without a DUNS or established financial profile?

For smaller or private companies with limited public data, use Competitor Research's website and brand extraction, search regulatory databases for any violations, and use People Search to research principals. Deep Research can surface news coverage, reviews, and business directory information for smaller accounts.
