The Socure Compliance Suite orchestrates the power of Socure Verify, Global Watchlist Screening with Monitoring, eCBSV, Decision Module (a customer risk decision platform), Document Verification and Portfolio Scrub (i.e., the ability to identify fraud and compliance risk within existing portfolio accounts) all via a single API. 
Staying compliant and preventing financial crime is more challenging than ever. Organizations face pressure from all sides &#8211; soaring transaction volumes, rapidly evolving regulations, aggressive enforcement, and strained budgets. Legacy compliance tools developed decades ago are ill-suited to the demands of today’s complex and dynamic compliance environment, failing to accurately classify consumers resulting in high false positive and negative rates. 
Overly broad, static name matching rules common to legacy tools can generate more than 90% noise, all while <a href="https://www.socure.com/blog/how-legacy-idv-vendors-expose-your-enterprise-to-risk">failing to identify true risks at least 5% of the time</a>. A study conducted by ACAMS and E&amp;Y found that on average, just 10% of all AML alerts are productive. Additionally, the most recent FinCEN statistics for Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) found that of a total of 3.2M SARs that were filed approximately 1.6 million (42%) were actually deficiencies in identity resolution.
Socure’s Compliance Suite represents the new gold standard for compliance professionals purpose-built to solve today’s toughest compliance challenges while delivering the highest level of compliance possible.
<h2>Socure Verify</h2>
Socure Verify is an evolution of the company’s flagship KYC solution expanding beyond traditional financial services to address the needs of non-regulated industries as well such as online gaming, telco, two-sided marketplaces and the public sector to name a few to apply hyper-accurate non-documentary identity verification at onboarding for instant insights and decisions. Socure has made significant improvements within its compliance products offering industry-leading identity verification accuracy, inclusivity, and data coverage.

<h3>Industry-Leading Product Enhancements</h3>
<h4>Global Watchlist Screening with Ongoing Monitoring</h4>
Socure has elevated the standard for sanctions compliance with new proprietary AI/ML algorithms including GenAI (LLM) and natural language processing techniques to optimize the entity resolution process to provide best-in-class match results, offering 20% more accuracy than legacy solutions. Socure’s proprietary models outperform long-held industry standard techniques and perform precise matching, even in the presence of variations, misspellings, or different name orders. 
While many legacy solutions rely solely on name matching techniques, Socure goes beyond with industry-first entity matching and scoring by incorporating additional data attributes such as date of birth, address, city, state, country and national ID to dynamically match and surface the most complete and precise entity profiles. 
The comprehensive risk assessment provided by Socure&#8217;s models ensures businesses are equipped to make informed decisions by ensuring accurate and context-aware matching. This streamlined process significantly decreases the time required to review matches, improving operational efficiency for compliance teams.
Integrated case management capabilities have been significantly enhanced to enable automated case assignment to analysts, with an available one-step review process that can reduce manual review times by 75% from an industry average of 10 minutes to 2.5 or less, all with the accuracy and auditability regulators require.
<h4>Decision Module</h4>
Socure has launched a new intuitive, self-service user interface and capabilities to its Decision Module solution. This update delivers an industry-first simulation engine that models the impacts of potential logic changes using historical customer transaction data. Additionally, it offers simple no-code, real-time management of new customer onboarding decision logic. This includes identity, watchlist and fraud risk parameters that guide whether to accept, decline or flag a consumer for further review, and provides streamlined reporting and audit capabilities.
Organizations with limited IT resources to manage the continuous complexities of customer onboarding decisioning can realize faster time-to-market launches of new products and services, and reduced overhead spend. This is of particular importance to early-stage companies, including fintechs, where compliance regulations can present a formidable impediment to market launch. For established organizations, Decision Module can bolster regulatory compliance and streamline operations, freeing up IT resources for other priorities.
With Socure’s Decision Module, risk and compliance teams have full control to configure, review and manage customer onboarding decision flows through a simple UI that ensures decision-making processes are transparent, consistent, and aligned with their internal compliance scorecard, policies, and procedures. With the Decision Module, organizations gain the power to swiftly identify and halt fraud attacks as they happen. By pinpointing recurring patterns commonly used by attackers, this advanced tool enables real-time adjustments to the onboarding decision logic, effectively thwarting fraudulent activities and ensuring a secure customer experience.

<h4>“Many compliance professionals continue to rely on legacy solutions that have appeased regulators and assumed to be best-in-class for far too long,” said Debra Geister, Vice President of Compliance Solutions.</h4>
<h4>”These legacy solutions were developed decades ago, have changed little since that time creating serious deficiencies in meeting the demands of today. The result is legacy solutions misclassify more than 5% of transactions providing a false sense of security, extensive back office reviews, and compounding compliance risks. Socure is the new gold-standard solution for compliance professionals and a partner in addressing these challenges.” </blockquote>
