Steps
Once connected (see setup above), use the Compliance Screening tool:
- Provide the subject name, entity type, jurisdiction, and relationship context
- Ask Claude: "Conduct enhanced due diligence on this individual including PEP check and adverse media"
- Claude runs sanctions, PEP, and adverse media checks and summarises findings
- Ask: "Identify any related entities or individuals that should be screened"
Example Prompt
Try this with Claude using the Compliance Screening tool
Conduct enhanced due diligence on [full name], a senior government official from Nigeria seeking to open a business account. Check PEP status, sanctions, adverse media coverage, and any connected entities. Produce a risk assessment with a recommended risk rating.
Tips
- Provide the subject's role and jurisdiction explicitly — PEP status depends on political position and country
- Ask Claude to rate the adverse media findings by severity rather than just listing them
- Ask for a recommended risk rating and the evidence supporting it — it makes the due diligence output defensible
