Compliance Intelligence Platform: From Manual Checks to Instant, GDPR - Safe Risk Profiles

Organization Outcome

HR and compliance teams are spending up to 90 minutes per check, juggling dozens of browser tabs and spreadsheets, and exposing themselves to privacy risks without proper audit trails. Only users with OSINT expertise could reliably navigate the background check process, which limits adoption and slows decision-making.

With the AI-powered compliance platform we delivered, background checks now take less than a minute and can be completed by anyone - no analyst skills required.

The system aggregates data from 25+ global sources, automatically flags risk categories, and ensures every search is GDPR-safe through consent flows, audit logs, and on-demand processing.

Our solution

To provide a functional solution, we embedded a cross-functional team - including data engineers, AI specialists, and UX designers - to co-create the platform in fast, validated cycles. 

1. Discovery & threat modeling - Identified must-have data sources, privacy constraints, and user stories across HR, KYC, and vendor due diligence.


2. AI matching engine - Trained a multimodal model (text + image) to suggest likely identity matches from social networks and press photos.


3. Federated data connectors - Built adapters to social APIs (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, X, Xing), worldwide corporate registries, and global sanctions / PEP lists - no data stored outside the EU.


4. Compliance layer - Implemented audit logging, consent workflows, and automatic PII redaction to satisfy GDPR, ISO 27001, and banking guidelines.

5. UX for non-analysts - Crafted a Vue.js interface where a single query returns ranked matches, risk categories (fraud, litigation, ESG controversies), and confidence scores.
