In This Case Study
Compliance officers were paying a data assembly tax
The legacy provider relied on aggregated data that could not resolve entities in critical jurisdictions, particularly China — where the company needed to identify MEUs and SOEs hidden within opaque Ultimate Beneficial Ownership structures.
95% entity resolution from primary-source corporate registry data
During pilot, Sayari returned actionable intelligence for 95% of entities screened — a massive leap over the previous provider’s coverage, with every finding backed by the original source document.
Global data standard across the Due Diligence Center of Excellence
600,000+ entities are now screened against primary-source data from official registries. The platform replicated across three independent entities created by the company’s divestitures.
The challenge
75% of compliance time spent assembling data – not analyzing risk
The company, a Fortune 100 integrated operating company spanning aerospace, industrial automation, building automation, and energy and sustainability solutions, was managing third-party risk screening with legacy data providers whose coverage was inadequate for the company’s global requirements.
The core problem was a data assembly tax. Compliance officers spent the majority of their time manually verifying records, leaving a fraction of their workday for actual risk analysis. The legacy provider relied on aggregated data that could not resolve entities in critical jurisdictions, particularly China, where the company needed to identify MEUs and SOEs hidden within opaque Ultimate Beneficial Ownership structures. The Chief Compliance Officer and Deputy General Counsel sought to eliminate this inefficiency and achieve compliance at scale across 600,000+ entities.
- Compliance officers spent 75% of their time manually verifying records — only 25% on risk analysis
- Legacy provider could not resolve entities in critical jurisdictions — particularly China
- MEUs and SOEs hidden within opaque UBO structures invisible to the aggregator
- Compliance portability needed across spinoff divestitures of multiple business units
The solution
Primary-source data resolving entities that legacy databases could not find
During a pilot led by the company’s Integrity and Compliance Manager for the Compliance Governance Center of Excellence, the platform returned actionable intelligence for 95% of entities screened — a massive leap over the previous provider’s coverage. The improvement was driven by the platform’s ability to map non-obvious relationships and state-owned ties that traditional databases miss.
Every finding is backed by the original source document, shifting the company’s compliance posture from opaque risk scoring to transparent, evidence-based adjudication. The company deployed the platform as its global data standard for the Due Diligence Center of Excellence.
- Primary-source corporate data layer feeds the company’s proprietary risk scoring
- 500M+ companies in 250+ jurisdictions — entity identity, ownership, relationships
- Graph architecture surfaces non-obvious shared ownership, SOE, and MCF connections
Sayari capabilities used
The results
95% resolution. Data assembly eliminated. Enterprise-scale deployment.
The compliance team now operates with entity resolution capability that achieves parity with federal regulatory standards. 600,000+ entities are screened against primary-source data from official registries. Every analyst, in every business unit, in every jurisdiction, accesses the same depth of intelligence. As the company’s corporate structure evolves through divestitures and reorganizations, the compliance infrastructure evolves with it.
