FAQs
Answers,
on the record.
What is Nex Screening?
Nex Screening is the screening and case-management product built by Nex. We screen people and companies against sanctions and politically-exposed persons (PEP) lists, and retrieve bounded adverse-media evidence. Retained results include source URLs, retrieval timestamps and evidence hashes so decisions remain reviewable.
What does Nex Screening cover?
Nex Screening covers sanctions, PEP and adverse-media screening with case management, evidence capture and reviewer workflows. It is tuned for defensible decisions rather than broad compliance theater.
What kinds of entities can I screen?
Individuals, companies, vessels and addresses. Network resolution covers owners, directors, subsidiaries and beneficial-owner structures. Indirect exposure is computed under the OFAC, EU and UK ownership rules over the structure you declare plus the ownership links our sources publish, following the chain rather than stopping at the first hop. Where a stake is unstated we report it as unresolved rather than clearing it, and the separate control test is not automated.
How often is your data refreshed?
Sanctions and PEP lists are pulled from primary publishers and reconciled continuously. Adverse-media monitoring uses publication-date overlap, local watermarks and deduplication so new evidence can be reviewed without treating repeated articles as new events.
Where do your sources come from?
Sanctions and PEP records come from regulators, registries and documented primary datasets rather than a reseller. Adverse-media screening uses bounded web retrieval, prefers official and editorially controlled evidence, and preserves article-level provenance in the dashboard.
How do I integrate Nex into my product?
A REST API with idempotent retries, correlation IDs and a hosted dashboard for compliance teams. The API is designed for AML platforms and compliance stacks to embed natively.
How do I get access?
Nex Screening is an enterprise product — the way in is to book a demo. We'll walk through your use case, scope an integration and get you onto the platform.
Is Nex compliant with GDPR and other privacy regulations?
Yes. We sign DPAs, publish our sub-processor list, anonymise PII on retention expiry and respect the right-to-erasure end-to-end. Consent events are logged on the immutable audit chain. Data-residency options are available on request.
How do you handle false positives?
Two ways. Our matcher uses transliteration-aware scoring across many scripts, so the bar for a hit is higher than a fuzzy-name vendor. When a match does need review, the case workflow ships with four-eyes approval, citation pinning and inline reviewer comments — false-positive resolutions become reusable rules for future screenings.
Can I screen large lists in batch?
Yes. CSV uploads at scale, resumable, with incremental diff against your last run so you only pay for — and only review — what actually changed. Output is delivered as a signed CSV plus an immutable audit trail that holds up in a regulatory exam.
What support do you offer?
Every inbound message gets a substantive reply within two business days. Implementation support is included; enterprise customers get a shared Slack channel and a quarterly architecture review.
