Frequently Asked Questions

Not another global screening database. A specialist intelligence layer for Kuwait.

What is KMI?

The Kuwait layer of your AML/CFT, KYC, KYB and enhanced due diligence (EDD) checks: sanctions; politically exposed persons (PEPs), their family members and close associates; adverse media; criminal proceedings; wanted and travel-ban notices; company ownership, directors and beneficial owners; director disqualifications; offshore-leak records; citizenship revocations; and jurisdiction risk — all against one Kuwait-focused subject record.

Who can subscribe to KMI?

KMI is evidence-backed Kuwait intelligence for people who have professional liability for getting Kuwait-related facts right.

KMI isn't sold to unaffiliated individuals — every subscription is verified against one of the following categories before it's provisioned:

  • Financial institution (bank, insurer, investment or payments firm) — AML/KYC obligation
  • Government, regulator, or law enforcement agency
  • Law firm — sanctions/AML compliance or litigation due diligence
  • Corporate compliance, risk, or third-party due diligence department
  • Other FATF-designated non-financial business or profession (real estate, precious metals/stones, accountancy, trust & company services)
  • Licensed private investigation or due diligence firm
  • Media / investigative journalism (public-interest reporting)
  • Non-governmental organisation — anti-corruption, human rights, or transparency
  • Academic or research institution
Why KMI rather than a generalist global screening provider?

KMI is built exclusively around Kuwait — government gazette decrees, tribunal and asylum case records, and Kuwait-specific political and corporate context, read and catalogued directly from primary sources rather than pulled from a generic global feed. The computed risk score also factors in jurisdiction-level regulatory designations — such as an active FATF Increased Monitoring listing — not only findings against the individual or entity itself.

How is the data sourced and verified?

Every record carries a reference code and a documented evidence trail — the specific decree, gazette issue, court filing, or published article behind it — rated on a standard source-reliability scale (NATO/Admiralty A–F), not an opaque confidence score. Risk ratings follow a fixed internal standard: a bare adverse action is never marked High without an independently documented allegation. A finding citing a criminal conviction or offence against a named individual is held under UK GDPR Article 10 governance and withheld from bulk exports and search results until a documented legal basis is confirmed.

Are you just re-publishing public sanctions and PEP lists?

No. Public list data (OFAC, UN, EU, UK) is shown for context on a subject's file, but it is not sold as a standalone module — that data is already freely available elsewhere. What is sold is the Kuwait-specific work: Field Intelligence case tracking and a PEP register built from documented Kuwaiti public functions.

Why token-based pricing instead of an annual licence?

Every fixed-price tier grants a set number of search credits per seat, paid once — no renewal date, no auto-billing, no negotiation for a multi-year contract. A credit is used only by a search that finds something; a search with no result is free. Access ends when the credits are used or the seat is revoked, not on a clock, so the commercial terms are as transparent as the underlying data. Sovereign is the one bespoke exception, priced directly with KMI for a party that needs unrestricted, unlimited access.
