Xapien wins Dynamic Due Diligence award in Chartis FCC50 report 2025

Xapien is proud to rank in Chartis’s Financial Crime and Compliance 50 (FCC50) report 2025, pioneering and winning a new category: Dynamic Due Diligence Platform.

“Xapien’s unique approach to handling unstructured data and delivering highly automated and contextualised risk summaries is proven to deliver strong performance in highly complex use cases. ‘These include applications in the legal and professional services sector, where Xapien has established a formidable reputation, in essence developing a truly dynamic due diligence platform.” — Nick Vitchev, Research Director at Chartis.

Xapien ranked 39th in the report, named alongside industry leaders such as LexisNexis Risk Solutions, Moody’s, and IBM.

A new category – ‘Dynamic Due Diligence’

Risk isn’t static. A low-risk client or third party today could become a reputational liability tomorrow – because new information comes to light, or a firm’s risk tolerance changes.

Many firms rely on simple screening solutions for KYC. Where due diligence is performed, it is treated as a one-off, static activity. This exposes these firms to unquantifiable risks.

Chartis’s market research reflected a nascent requirement for up-to-the-minute information. As regulatory scrutiny and fining powers increase, tools that enable scalable, real-time risk assessments set a new industry standard.

So Chartis created a new Dynamic Due Diligence Platform category—and awarded it to Xapien, the only tool that enables comprehensive due diligence in minutes.

Chartis analysts praised our ability to search, analyse, and summarise live internet data, integrated with premium AML databases and corporate registries. Our reports surface sudden concerns found in the media but not yet recorded by data providers, such as shifts in ownership structures that could expose firms to high-risk individuals or jurisdictions.

Our award highlights the strength of our “Ask your own question” feature. Users can revisit reports, analyse data, uncover new risky connections, and ask targeted questions for specific insights tailored to their risk level.

How Chartis analysts scored Xapien

Core technology: Chartis analysts rated Xapien for its ability to deliver executive-level due diligence reports in minutes, leveraging fragmented insights from structured and unstructured sources. This enables compliance teams to understand individual clients and third-party entities through a broader risk lens, not restricted to static datasets.

Innovation: The report highlights the growing impact of generative AI in transforming what was once underused unstructured data into valuable insights. We’re leading the way in harnessing these massive developments while integrating them with our next-generation entity resolution engine and anti-hallucination technology. Our clients can use AI safely and securely.

Market presence: Analysts recognised our expansion into adjacent markets. This includes our success with diverse markets all facing heightened regulatory and reputational scrutiny: multinational corporations, UK and US-based law firms, private banks, wealth managers, trust administrators in offshore jurisdictions, private equity, and the philanthropic sector.
