A Dow Jones Risk & Compliance Alternative for the Whole AML Programme
Dow Jones Risk & Compliance is known for screening data and research: sanctions, PEP and adverse-media profiles, ownership data and due diligence reports. One Constellation includes screening and adds identity verification, KYB, transaction monitoring and case management in one platform.
Screening Data and Research vs. a Compliance Platform
Dow Jones Risk & Compliance is part of Dow Jones, a News Corp company. It supplies sanctions, PEP, adverse-media and state-owned company data through feeds and APIs, and RiskCenter tools for searching, screening and monitoring, third-party risk and trade compliance. It also produces analyst-written due diligence reports and draws on the Factiva news archive. Dow Jones states that it holds more than 4 million records.
Dow Jones’ website does not list identity-document verification or transaction monitoring among its products, and while its RiskCenter tools generate and prioritise screening alerts, with audit trails and third-party risk workflows, no STR/SAR workflow is listed. One Constellation covers onboarding, screening, transaction monitoring and STR/SAR case management in one platform, for firms that want those connected rather than sourced separately.

Where One Constellation Fits Better
Onboarding to reporting in one platform
Identity verification, KYB and UBO discovery, screening, transaction monitoring, case management and STR/SAR workflows sit in one platform, so a customer’s file is not split across vendors.
Monitoring and reporting included
Transaction monitoring and case management with STR/SAR workflows sit next to screening, so a hit or an alert becomes an investigation and a report in the same record.
Built around Asia-Pacific regulators
Singapore-headquartered, with workflows mapped to MAS, HKMA and FATF requirements alongside FCA, FinCEN and EU rules.
When Dow Jones Is the Better Choice
Dow Jones is the stronger choice when the quality and depth of screening data is the priority: its sanctions controls are independently assured by PwC every year under ISAE 3000, it has a multilingual in-house research team, and it offers analyst-written enhanced due diligence reports, trade-control and vessel data, and the Factiva news archive.
It also suits firms that already run their own screening, monitoring and case management systems and want to feed them with Dow Jones data.
One Constellation fits better when you want screening as part of a complete compliance platform, with identity verification, KYB, transaction monitoring and STR/SAR case management in the same place.
