This year was defined by unprecedented global volatility, from geopolitical tensions to rapid regulatory shifts, creating a high-stakes environment where speed and certainty are non-negotiable for risk management in both the commercial and public sectors. To empower our users to navigate this upheaval with confidence, Sayari has delivered new, market-defining capabilities across our product portfolio, ensuring you can proactively identify, map, and mitigate complex risk before it impacts your organization.
Sayari Graph: Expediting Analysis and Due Diligence
Sayari Graph continues to set the standard for tackling global investigative and compliance challenges. Our flagship product provides organizations with unmatched data coverage and insights that illuminate global business networks, enabling them to effectively identify hidden risks, map complex ownership and trade relationships, and maintain robust global compliance with confidence.
This year, we’ve introduced key product refinements to help you find critical data faster for confident business decisions:
Upgraded Displays, Search, and Filtering for Faster Data Triage
We’ve implemented new capabilities to accelerate your critical evaluations and analysis, helping you find essential data more quickly. Sayari Graph’s refined displays of company and trade information, new advanced search functionality, and intuitive analytic dashboards reduce time-to-insight for complex entity evaluation, helping you move from initial searches to confident decision-making faster than ever.
Master Your Network Analysis In Graph Canvas
In 2025, we integrated exciting updates into the Graph canvas that enable faster, more precise network analysis. We’ve integrated new views so that you can quickly sort, filter, and navigate between entities on your canvas based on risk, country, company status, and more, helping you identify critical information with just a click. Additionally, you can now drag, drop, pin, and customize nodes and annotations anywhere on the canvas for greater control and flexibility of your network visualizations.
AI-Powered Entity Profile Summaries
We’ve introduced AI-generated summaries to all entity profiles in Graph, aggregating essential attribute and relationship data for immediate review. This new capability, powered by Gemini, automatically triages and filters all profile information, cutting through complexity to surface the most critical data points, giving you immediate insights. This responsible AI approach ensures accuracy and transparency, as all summarized information is derived exclusively from Graph’s underlying data.
Data Highlights: Building the Foundation for Confident Compliance and Analysis
This year, we’ve ramped up data acquisition efforts across corporate, trade, and financial data sets to ensure you have the critical details required for sharper analysis, evaluations, and due diligence. Our knowledge graph is now anchored in over 10 billion records, serving as the ultimate resource for illuminating hidden connections.
Core Data Expansion and Global Reach: We ramped up data acquisition across corporate, trade, and financial data sets, focusing on key metrics that accelerate your workflow.
- Financial Screening: We integrated S&P financial scores for over 15 million companies globally, enabling instant financial risk screening.
- Ultimate Beneficial Ownership (UBO): We introduced new UBO data for 10 European countries, allowing you to quickly pierce the corporate veil.
- Global Corporate Coverage: We drilled into new corporate data across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Oceania.
- Maritime Data: We doubled our maritime data coverage to provide the most complete picture of the global risk landscape.
OpenSanctions Partnership: We have further fortified our screening capabilities by integrating new country sanctions data from OpenSanctions. This integration incorporates critical sanctions, debarments, and export control lists, reinforcing the integration of rapidly evolving designations and identification of hidden risks in high-stakes regions with greater reliability.
Strategic Direct Acquisitions: We have significantly expanded our proprietary data footprint by directly integrating high-priority government and industry watchlists across North America, Europe, and APAC. This initiative secures unmediated access to diverse risk signals, delivering faster updates and granular oversight of enforcement actions in key global jurisdictions.
Clear Government Procurement Insights: We re-architected our government procurement data model to provide unmatched clarity into public sector relationships. This new model distinguishes government organizations, contract awardees, and the details of the contracts. This enhanced modeling allows investigators to map ties to state ownership more effectively and identify risk within complex government contracting networks.
Sayari Map: Proactive Supply Chain Risk Mitigation
Last year, we introduced Sayari Map as our revolutionary solution designed to illuminate complex global supply chains. This year, we’ve introduced new capabilities that best enable teams to effectively identify, manage, and monitor ongoing supply chain risk, all in one place.
Minimize Cost Exposure With Rapid Tariff Impact Analysis
As organizations look to stay ahead of rapid changes to the tariff landscape, we’ve implemented feature enhancements in Map that pinpoint affected suppliers. You get a clear, data-driven view of vendor risk without tedious manual assessments and without sharing confidential information. In one view, you can see suppliers exposed to tariffs based on country and product type, helping you develop effective mitigation strategies as tariff landscapes ebb and flow.
Highest-Quality Matching Across Your Supplier List
This year, to ensure high-quality and consistent results when uploading large supplier lists, we’ve implemented AI-powered enhancements to our matching and batch upload logic. These upgrades give you the most accurate and reliable match results across your supplier uploads, saving you time and best ensuring you identify the risk you need to make informed decisions.
Sayari Signal: Effectively Adapt to Evolving Compliance Risk
Sayari Signal, launched last year, revolutionized trade compliance by enabling the integration of critical risk data directly into customer ERP systems. Signal continues to empower organizations to proactively identify complex, non-list-based risks through unparalleled coverage of domains like military end-users, sanctions, transshipment, forced labor, and more. This year, we’ve further expanded Signal by incorporating emerging critical risk domains, ensuring you get ahead of potential regulatory changes and business impact.
New BIS50 Signal Module
Our BIS50 Signal Module is the first solution dedicated to uncovering complex ownership structures targeted by evolving U.S. export controls, specifically for entities 50% or more owned by parties on the BIS Entity or MEU Lists. This module leverages deep network analysis up to six layers of ownership and aggregate ownership logic to detect hidden risks and control that is split across multiple entities. This solution enables organizations to pre-empt regulatory exposure and achieve immediate operational readiness, especially as regulatory shifts are becoming more commonplace.
New Cartel Affiliates Module
To help compliance teams meet intensified regulatory pressure and due diligence requirements, we’ve launched the Cartel Affiliates Module, our first-to-market cartel screening capability. This module moves beyond standard sanctions lists to identify hidden network connections to six designated Mexican cartels and other OFAC-sanctioned entities linked to transnational organized crime in Mexico. By leveraging hard-to-access corporate registries, it identifies business associates, officers, and beneficial owners for better, more comprehensive risk detection.
Cross Product Innovation: Driving Decisioning With Expanded Risk Insights and AI-Enabled Tooling
2025 has been defined by Sayari’s deep commitment to innovation, resulting in impactful enhancements across our full product suite that deliver powerful, actionable risk intelligence. While the advancements detailed below represent just a few highlights, they underscore our year-long dedication to expanding your capabilities and ensuring faster, more confident evaluations and analysis.
Access On-Demand Negative News, Powered by AI
This summer, we launched Sayari’s Negative News Tool, an AI-powered tool in Graph and Map that delivers current negative news articles about entities on demand, pulling from an impressive network of over 43,000 global news sources. Users of this tool can bypass typical data refresh delays and receive immediate access to live search results and links to original articles, providing crucial support to organizations needing efficient KYC, due diligence, supply chain compliance, and event monitoring.
Uncover Environmental and Social Risk Exposure
To help companies comply with global regulations such as the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), Sayari is now including SESAMm ESG insights in our products in the same way that we document adverse media events. This coverage spans industries and encompasses both private and public companies. We’ve also added ESG Controversy Exposure Scores for 270,000 global entities. We have included an additional dataset that provides details on specific ESG controversy events, including the specific type of risk and an event score to help customers understand risk severity.
Making Sayari More Accessible For All
We’ve implemented a series of key improvements to meet critical Web Content Accessibility Guideline (WCAG) requirements and expand efforts toward WCAG compliance, as part of a broad push to make Sayari’s products more accessible for all users. This focus has included enhanced screen reader and keyboard navigation and adjustments to color contrast across Sayari’s products and capabilities.
Precision Screening with Decomposed Sanctions Risk
To provide greater control over how you view and weigh regulatory threats, we have transformed sanctions risk factors into granular, list-specific insights. Users can now distinguish between varying levels of severity across specific regulatory bodies, such as separating OFAC SDN listings from non-SDN lists or specific country regimes, empowering teams to filter noise and focus on the specific jurisdictional risks that matter most to their compliance workflows.
Looking Ahead: The Future of Risk Management
While 2025 was a landmark year for innovation, we’re already looking ahead to 2026 with a vision to further revolutionize how organizations address risk and economic security across the global ecosystem.
