Why Fortify

Built for screening you can act on and explain

Screening only works when matches are accurate, coverage stays current, and decisions can be traced. Fortify brings all three together – so screening holds up to scrutiny.

Matching that separates real risk from noise

Weighted matching across name, date of birth, jurisdiction and aliases scores every screen. Low-risk clears automatically; real exposure escalates with full context – so analysts focus on what matters.

Coverage that stays current as lists change

When watchlists or customer data change, your population is rescreened automatically. Updates show what changed and why, with full history preserved.

One record from screening to decision

Screening, investigation and audit run on one platform, inside your own data. Every match and outcome sits on a single record – one source of truth for both lines of defence, regulator-ready.
