Neotas
Neotas is a risk intelligence and enhanced due diligence platform focused on compliance, investigations, background screening, third-party risk, and forensic intelligence.
neotas.comNeotas is a risk intelligence and enhanced due diligence platform focused on compliance, investigations, background screening, third-party risk, and forensic intelligence. The firm supports risk, compliance, legal, procurement, and financial-services teams by using OSINT, automation, premium data sources, and analyst-led review to uncover red flags that conventional screening tools may miss.
Its relevance to financial crime and compliance comes from the enhanced due diligence layer. Many financial crime issues do not begin only with transaction monitoring; they often begin with weak onboarding, insufficient counterparty screening, hidden affiliations, reputational exposure, adverse media, politically exposed persons, shell structures, or third-party risk. Neotas fits this gap by helping institutions conduct deeper intelligence-led reviews before, during, and after business relationships.
