A supplier incorporates domestically and screens clean. Three filings out, it is state-controlled.

Nothing about the bidder changed. What changed is how far the record goes. Each layer below was read from a filing in the register where that company is incorporated — sourced, dated, and traceable back to the document it came from.

Seven mandates. One shared blind spot.

Each of these functions is required by statute to establish something about a company that its own registry cannot answer.

Establish exclusion grounds not only for the bidder but for connected persons, parent undertakings and named sub-contractors — including those incorporated where you have no read access.

0 change types, on every entity and on every owner above it.

Each one is a filing at a source register, not a difference between two snapshots. An alert means the company actually changed — a share moved, an officer was appointed, a designation was added — rather than a record being reformatted somewhere in a vendor's pipeline.

Perpetual monitoring

A supplier cleared at award can be sanctioned by lunchtime.

Perpetual monitoring keeps every entity in your register under watch from the day the contract is signed until the day it expires. Changes are surfaced when they are filed, not at the next scheduled review.

Regis is a verification model that answers only from the register.

Ask it a question

Plain language in, sourced answer out — with the register attached to every claim.

Or build on it

The same model over the API — inside your own case management or risk system.

No answer without a sourceIf the record was not retrieved, Regis says so.
RegisIllustrative · sample file
Ask about the sample file — ownership, sanctions, PEP matches or company status. Every claim carries its register.

How a record gets from a register to your case file.

Five steps, and the register is named at every one of them. If a value cannot be traced back to step one, it does not ship as filed.

01

Licensed acquisition

Taken from the government register that issued the record, under the access arrangement that register requires — including registers that charge for or restrict access.

02

Structure and normalise

Native formats, languages and scripts are parsed into a common schema. The original value is retained alongside the normalised one.

03

Resolve the entity

Matched on registration identifiers first, then name, address, officer and ownership signals. Below threshold, candidates are surfaced rather than merged.

04

Attach provenance

Register, document class and retrieval timestamp are bound to the field, not to the record. Modelled values are labelled at this step and never later.

05

Deliver and retain

Served through API, platform, bulk or Regis. Every prior state is kept, which is what makes a point-in-time reconstruction possible.

No single holding breaches the threshold. Together, they do.

A designated person rarely holds a majority stake in their own name. They hold minority positions through several vehicles in several jurisdictions, each individually below the line. Screening the bidder against a list returns clean. Resolving the graph does not.

The questions that decide a public-sector purchase.

We already have our own national registry. What are we buying?

Everything outside it. Your registry is authoritative for entities incorporated in your jurisdiction and silent on everything else, which is exactly where the risk sits, because a bidder incorporates domestically and is controlled from abroad. We hold the other 400+ registries, resolve entities across them, and compute the ownership chain end to end.

Where does the data actually come from?

Directly from official government registries and statutory filings. We do not resell a third party's compilation and we do not blend in unattributed sources. Every record carries its registry, its filing reference and its retrieval date. Anything we compute rather than source is labelled as modelled wherever it appears.

Which jurisdictions do you cover, and how do we check before committing?

400+ government registers across 200+ countries. Coverage is never uniform, so we send a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction, field-by-field matrix before contract — including where a register publishes beneficial ownership, where it publishes only directors and officers, and where it publishes neither. If a country you depend on is thin, you will see that in the matrix rather than after signature.

How current is it?

Registry data is synced daily. We do not describe registry data as real-time, because registries themselves are not real-time — a filing appears when it is filed. What we commit to is a stated sync cadence per source, and change events when a record moves.

Do you keep checking after we have screened an entity?

Yes. Every entity in the file is re-checked daily, along with every node above it in the ownership graph, across 38 change types covering ownership, officers, standing, identity, financial filings and screening. A public contract runs for years; a check at award is a snapshot, and the changes that matter usually arrive afterwards.

Can we use it in decisions that may be appealed or reviewed?

That is what the provenance model is for. Every value traces back to the source document and the date it was read, which is the difference between a finding you can defend and a score you cannot explain. We supply the evidence; the determination remains yours.

What about data protection and residency?

The core dataset is company information from public registers. Where records contain personal data such as directors and beneficial owners, handling is governed by the contract, and residency and processing constraints are scoped with your information governance team before deployment rather than assumed.

Can we run it inside our own environment?

Where policy prevents outbound calls, the dataset can be delivered for processing entirely within your own estate rather than queried across a network boundary. Deployment shape, residency and processing location are scoped with your security team before anything is agreed, not assumed afterwards.

What happens to the data if we stop the contract?

Records key on the registration number held by the source register, plus the Legal Entity Identifier where one exists. We publish no proprietary company key, so identifiers in data you already hold keep resolving at the register after the contract ends. Exit provisions — the format of the final extract and the notice period — are written into the agreement rather than negotiated at the point you want to leave.

How do we buy it?

Direct contract, priced on the jurisdictions, fields and volumes you actually need rather than a bundled enterprise tier. We scope a pilot on a live use case — a real tender, a real screening backlog — before anyone signs anything longer.
