RiskAnalyze Anti-Social Forces Check Tool Releases Domestic PEPs Addition and Operation Log Function

KYC Consulting Co., Ltd. (KYCC) announced the release of new features for its "RiskAnalyze" tool, which is designed for anti-social forces and compliance checks. The updates include the addition of domestic PEPs information and an operation log function. These changes are in response to evolving legal regulations and the need for stronger AML/CFT measures, particularly under increased international scrutiny from the FATF. The key updates are: 1. Provision of Domestic PEPs Information: RiskAnalyze now offers systematically organized information on Japanese domestic PEPs, based on KYCC's proprietary research. This feature enables immediate identification of whether business partners or related parties are PEPs, addressing previous difficulties in comprehensive domestic PEPs identification. PEPs are categorized into Tier 1 (national core, e.g., Diet members, cabinet ministers, Supreme Court justices, Bank of Japan executives) and Tier 2 (local/important institutions, e.g., governors, mayors, government-affiliated corporate executives, ambassadors, religious organization leaders). This allows for integrated management of risks associated with public figures, in addition to exclusion of anti-social forces. 2. New "Operation Log" Function for Higher Plans: To meet demand for enhanced governance and internal audit compliance, RiskAnalyze now includes an "Operation Log" function. This feature records and allows downloading of all operations performed on the RiskAnalyze screen. It logs authentication history (login success/failure, password/IP address errors), search history (individual, corporate, reputation searches, bulk searches, result downloads), and management operations (account permission changes, group information changes, IP address restriction additions/deletions). Higher plans also include unlimited IP address restrictions, use of proprietary exclusion lists, and customizable reputation risk words. RiskAnalyze is described as one of Japan's largest specialized risk information databases, collecting data from over 1,000 locations domestically and 240+ countries/regions internationally. It utilizes AI, co-developed with a national university, to aggregate and display only necessary risk information, generating investigation reports in as little as 0.4 seconds. As of April 2026, it has been adopted by over 1,300 companies.
