Dun & Bradstreet (NYSE: DNB), a leading global provider of business decisioning data and analytics, is ranked as a category leader for the third year in a row in the Chartis Research RiskTech Quadrant for KYC Data Solutions 2024, receiving five-star rankings for its best-in class sanctions and watchlist data, corporate structure, entity relationships, and trade data.

“To be ranked highly by Chartis for our KYC data solutions is an honor,” said Brian Filanowski, General Manager, Finance & Risk Solutions at Dun & Bradstreet. “By utilizing our D-U-N-S^® Number and data-led approaches, organizations can verify and identify business relationships, screen entities, business owners, principals, and affiliated companies to enrich their third-party compliance risk view. This is mission-critical for our clients, and we are grateful for their trust in us.”

In the Chartis Vendor Analysis report, Dun & Bradstreet is noted for its D-U-N-S Number, a unique nine-digit identifier assigned to entities, which provides an accurate identification of searches by users and assists in assessing the relationships of the individual or company being searched. The D-U-N-S Number can also generate risk indicators based on customers’ configured policy settings.

“Dun & Bradstreet continues to be a powerhouse in the top third of the RiskTech100,” said Sid Dash, Chief Researcher at Chartis. “Moreover, this position is supported and driven by a scalable and global data program that continues to be a leader in its field.”

To further differentiate Dun & Bradstreet KYC data, maritime vessels and aircraft have also been added to the company’s sanctions screening capabilities.
