Bridging the Compliance Decision Gap with Intelligent Data

The London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) is collaborating with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to develop advanced solutions for compliance screening, addressing a critical gap in financial institutions’ decision-making processes. This partnership, announced at Sibos 2026, leverages LSEG’s risk intelligence expertise and AWS’s cloud capabilities to create more efficient and accurate screening systems.

The Challenge of Compliance Screening

Financial institutions face increasing pressure to comply with complex regulations while managing significant operational risks. Traditional compliance screening processes often involve manual reviews and disparate data sources, leading to inefficiencies and potential gaps in coverage. The decision-making process can be particularly challenging when dealing with ambiguous or incomplete information.

LSEG’s Solution: Intelligent Data and AI Agents

LSEG’s approach focuses on providing financial institutions with more comprehensive data and intelligent tools to make informed decisions. By integrating structured and unstructured data from various sources, including news feeds, regulatory filings, and adverse media reports, LSEG creates a holistic view of risk exposure.

This integrated data is then used to train AI agents that can automate routine screening tasks, identify high-risk cases requiring human review, and provide contextual insights to decision-makers. The result is a more efficient process with reduced error rates and improved coverage.

Benefits of the Partnership

The collaboration between LSEG and AWS offers several key benefits:

  • Improved accuracy: AI-powered screening reduces false positives and identifies previously missed risks
  • Increased efficiency: Automation handles routine tasks, freeing up compliance professionals for higher-value activities
  • Enhanced decision-making: Contextual insights empower reviewers to make more informed judgments
  • Scalability: Cloud-based architecture supports growing data volumes and evolving regulatory requirements
  • Innovation: Joint development accelerates the creation of new solutions for emerging risks
