Access Data Catalogue

Traditional screening only catches yesterday's risks.

We build unique datasets from an initial list of subjects provided by the customer or by our team, featuring:

Pre-Sanctioned Intelligence

Entities and individuals connected to sanctioned subjects before formal designation. Includes front companies, shell corporations, family members, and business partners operating within sanctioned networks.

Criminal Network Intelligence

Comprehensive mapping of transnational criminal organizations: leadership hierarchies, operational networks, front companies, financial facilitators, enforcement groups. Coverage includes drug trafficking organizations, transnational gangs (MS-13, Barrio 18, Tren de Aragua), organized crime families, and cyber crime groups.

Political Risk & Facilitation Intelligence

Corrupt officials, political fixers, influence peddlers, and regulatory manipulators who enable illicit activities. Government officials with documented corruption involvement, brokers of illicit deals, and power brokers controlling market access.

Forced Labor Intelligence

Operations using forced labor in mining, agriculture, manufacturing, and extraction. Sex trafficking networks, migrant exploitation schemes, and supply chain vulnerability across critical materials and industries.

Safe Harbor Intelligence

Low-risk entities assessed and cleared for business relationships. Confidence scoring on safety assessments with context on why subjects are considered low-risk.

ILLICIT NETWORK INTELLIGENCE: MODERN SLAVERY

03

FORCED LABOR (beyond UFPLA)

What:  This dataset provides comprehensive profiles on individuals, businesses, and organizations involved in forced labor operations, labor trafficking networks, and modern slavery enterprises across 80+ jursdictions. Current research efforts are focused on applying a "forced labor" tag to Illicit Network Intelligence subjects when they are directly or indirectly exposed to, engaged in, or facilitating forced labor in any form. This dataset is a filter for that tag in our broader Illicit Network Intelligence data product.


How:  This dataset may be licensed as part of the entire Illicit Network Intelligence data product, or as a stand-alone dataset.


The Data:  The data is compiled through proprietary investigative research, focused on Evidencity's Country Resource Libraries (CRLs) and local source networks, combining open-source information with local context, relationships and knowledge. Current areas of focus for forced labor are in mining, agriculture, and fishing.
