Screen smarter with curated risk data directly inside your AML/KYC workflow

Acuris Risk Intelligence provides reliable, real-time screening data across sanctions, PEPs, watchlists, and adverse media. Cascade brings that data to life, automating how it’s used across onboarding, monitoring, and compliance reporting.

What is Acuris Risk Intelligence (also known as the KYC6 platform)?

Acuris offers a global risk database curated by expert analysts and journalists. It’s trusted for:

Sanctions list screening
Politically exposed person (PEP) profiles
Adverse media from global sources
Enforcement lists and regulatory notices
Real-time updates and profile changes

The result: a highly structured, continuously updated source of financial crime risk intelligence.

Acuris Risk Intelligence was originally founded in 2004 under the name C6. The key offering of Acuris is the KYC6 platform, which provides compliance and risk professionals with capabilities for screening and monitoring against global databases.

Why connect Acuris with a broader AML workflow platform?

Acuris is excellent for screening, and without a connected end-to-end AML platform, many firms still rely on:

Manual checks and exports
Ad-hoc alert reviews
Disconnected client files
Limited automation for ongoing monitoring

Cascade connects Acuris risk intelligence with the workflows and client information needed to support the wider compliance process.
