KYC Consulting Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, President: Naomasa Tobinai, hereinafter KYCC), which develops and provides the anti-social forces and compliance check tool "RiskAnalyze", announces that it has expanded domestic information and implemented new features. In this revision, against the backdrop of recent changes in laws and regulations and strengthened measures against AML/CFT (Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism), we have reviewed the risk categories and added new information categories.
Background of the revision
The compliance environment surrounding companies is becoming more sophisticated year by year, and especially in response to strengthened international monitoring by the FATF (Financial Action Task Force), Japanese companies are also required to conduct more precise risk assessments and trail management.
Given this situation, RiskAnalyze revised its database and classification system and added new features for the following purposes:
- Visualization of domestic PEPs (Politically Exposed Persons)
- Redesign of risk categories based on AML/CFT compliance
- Strengthening of security and audit systems through operation log management
Main update contents
① Start of provision of "Domestic PEPs" information
Based on our independent research, RiskAnalyze has systematized information on PEPs (Politically Exposed Persons) in Japan and newly added it as a category. Previously, comprehensive understanding of domestic PEPs was difficult, and in practice, it often relied on individualized judgments. With this feature, it becomes possible to immediately determine whether business partners or related parties fall under PEPs.
- Domestic PEPs - Tier 1 (National Center): Members of the Diet, Cabinet Ministers, Supreme Court Justices, Bank of Japan Executives, etc.
- Domestic PEPs - Tier 2 (Local / Important Institutions): Governors, Mayors of municipalities, executives of government-affiliated corporations, ambassadors, executives of religious corporations, etc.
This enables integrated management of "risks associated with relationships with public figures" in addition to the exclusion of anti-social forces.
② [New Feature] Establishment of a higher-tier plan and start of provision of "Operation Log" feature
To meet the needs for strengthened governance and internal audit compliance, we have released an "Operation Log" feature that allows operations performed on the RiskAnalyze screen to be managed and downloaded as logs.
- Records authentication history such as login success/failure (password or IP address errors, etc.).
- Can acquire search history of individuals, corporations, reputational risks, etc., as well as operation history of bulk searches and result downloads.
- Records management operations in detail, such as account permission changes, group information changes, and addition/deletion of IP address restrictions.
*The higher-tier plan comes standard with "IP Address Restriction (Unlimited)", "Use of In-house Rejection List", and "Free Customization of Reputational Risk Words" in addition to the operation log, supporting the construction of a stronger security system.
Future prospects
RiskAnalyze aims to continue providing a more advanced and practical compliance check platform while considering domestic and international regulatory trends and social demands. In particular, we will promote the development of features that enhance the reproducibility and explainability of judgments by utilizing accumulated search data and risk information.
What is "RiskAnalyze", which realizes anti-social and compliance checks in a minimum of 0.4 seconds?
RiskAnalyze is one of Japan's largest specialized risk information databases designed for checking anti-social forces and compliance. It acquires risk information from over 1,000 locations in Japan and 240 countries and regions overseas, and utilizes AI jointly developed with a national university to collect and display only the necessary information in its database.
It creates investigation reports in a minimum of 0.4 seconds, reducing the enormous amount of effort, time, and cost incurred when checking anti-social forces and compliance.
As of April 2026, the cumulative number of companies that have introduced it exceeds 1,300.
