Cut the noise: Smarter Adverse Media Screening (AMS)

Adverse Media Screening (AMS) often feels like sifting through noise.

Too many compliance teams waste time wading through irrelevant hits, outdated stories, or untrusted sources, all while trying to spot real red flags.

That’s why we’ve launched the new AMS Settings page in Strise.

It gives you direct control over your AMS filters, helping your team focus on what matters and move faster.

Tune your AMS. Surface only what matters

The new AMS Settings page allows you to:

  • Filter by language: Align screening with your key markets by selecting only the languages that matter.
  • Control the timeframe: Limit your lookback period to remove old, irrelevant articles from your view.
  • Exclude irrelevant topics: Tired of hits on unrelated subjects? Exclude specific topics entirely.
  • Curate your sources: Remove publishers that don’t meet your trust or relevance standards.

Result: fewer false positives, faster risk assessments, and clearer focus for your team.

When the registry isn’t there yet, keep moving

Adverse Media Screening is just one part of the onboarding picture. Often, you’re screening companies that don’t yet exist in an official registry.

Maybe it’s a startup in formation.

Maybe it’s a cross-border case with incomplete records.

Either way, you can now start the KYB process in Strise without waiting.

You’ve always been able to create custom entities in Strise to get a head start on:

  • KYB onboarding
  • Ownership mapping
  • PEP/sanctions screening
  • Risk documentation

Now, once that company appears in a registry, you can link your initial work to the official profile, in a single action.

This means:

  • No duplication
  • No audit gaps
  • A continuous thread from placeholder to permanent record

More helpful navigation: recently visited pages

One last update: we’ve added a “recently visited” view to help you stay oriented.

Need to jump back into a previous investigation or entity?

Just click, no more retracing your steps manually.

One platform, fully in sync

Whether you’re:

  • Fine-tuning your Adverse Media Screening
  • Onboarding a company under formation
  • Or jumping between KYB cases and views

Strise helps you reduce noise, preserve context, and accelerate AML workflows.
