Azentio recognized as a Category Leader in Chartis’ Watchlist and Adverse Media Monitoring Solutions, 2026 report

Azentio has been recognized as a Category Leader in two Chartis RiskTech Quadrants® in the Watchlist and Adverse Media Monitoring Solutions, 2026: Quadrant Update report.

The recognition covers:

• Name and Transaction Screening Solutions
• Adverse Media Monitoring Solutions

The report provides Chartis’ latest view of the vendor landscape for watchlist and adverse media monitoring solutions, with a focus on sanctions name and transaction screening, adverse media monitoring, and related elements. The report is also aligned to key themes including AI & Machine Learning and Data Management, reflecting the growing role of intelligence, automation, and data quality in financial crime compliance.

Azentio’s Category Leader placement across both areas reflects the strength of its financial crime and compliance capabilities, delivered through AMLOCK.

Strengthening screening and monitoring with intelligent compliance capabilities

Financial institutions are operating in a more complex risk environment, where sanctions exposure, politically exposed persons, adverse media, and customer risk indicators need to be identified quickly, accurately, and consistently.

As regulatory expectations increase, compliance teams need more than isolated screening processes. They need intelligent, data-driven capabilities that support stronger detection, better prioritization, and clearer investigation outcomes.

Azentio AMLOCK helps institutions meet this need through a risk-based approach to financial crime compliance. The solution supports name and transaction screening, adverse media monitoring, customer risk scoring, alert management, and case handling within a connected compliance environment.
