What type of data does BvD Compliance Catalyst provide?
BvD Compliance Catalyst provides a wide range of compliance data and insights, including:
- Sanctions and watchlists: BvD monitors hundreds of sanctions and watchlists from around the world.
- Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs): Identify individuals who hold or have held prominent public positions to help indicate a higher risk of corruption.
- Adverse media: BvD monitors thousands of media sources for negative news about companies and individuals, so you can be aware of any reputational risks.
- Beneficial ownership: With BvD data on the ultimate beneficial owners of companies, it’s easier to comply with Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements.
Settings and configurations
Once you have obtained a license key from BvD, navigate to the Integrations page in the Admin section of Graphite. This screen provides various settings allowing you to adjust permissions or when data updates are triggered. Additionally, you can choose which types of data to integrate with. For example, you may want to focus on sanctions and watchlists, PEPs, adverse media, or beneficial ownership.
How to view BvD data
BvD data for a supplier can be found in the Ethics and Integrity topic in the supplier’s profile. Here, like all of Graphite’s third-party data integrations, you will see a subsection housing at-a-glance data, including when the data was last updated, if a report hasn’t been generated, or if there’s no available data. You can expand the BvD section to get more in-depth information based on your configuration.
If you need to see all that BvD provides, click the “Full report” button; this will launch you directly into BvD’s application.
