- Too frequent or too infrequent screenings
The Hawk Way

- Proprietary fuzzy matching algorithm with granular rule-specific tuning settings
- Flexible list management
- Multi-tenant structure that supports regional regulations
- Simplified, unified view of relevant risks so you can review and close an alert in just three clicks
