Decision-ready intelligence on state ownership, defence links, sanctions exposure, and critical-technology connections. Delivered as a structured report in 48 hours, no integration required.
Identifying who is behind a Chinese counterparty is harder than it looks.
Traditional providers tell you a shareholder's name. They cannot tell you whether that shareholder is a state-linked investment vehicle, whether ownership routes through a military-civil fusion structure, or whether a nominally private company is operationally directed by a provincial state-owned holding entity.
Three signals. One determination.
A name on a sanctions list is not a risk assessment. State ownership reaches counterparties through layered structures, minority aggregations, and parent chains the headline name will not reveal.
Direct flags
01The submitted entity itself carries a state, defence, or government end-user tag in our database. The clearest case. Roughly half of risk-tagged entities in a typical batch resolve here.
Ownership chain
02Risk inherits from any entity in the investment chain at any depth. Includes minority shareholdings that aggregate above the 50% covered-person threshold, patterns routine providers cannot compute.
People links
03Personnel associated with the submitted entity are linked to risk-tagged entities elsewhere in our network. Often the only signal available where structures terminate offshore.
Three risk dimensions. One structured output.
Every entity in your batch is matched, classified across three independent risk dimensions, and returned as part of a structured report ready for legal review.
State ownership
SOEMulti-layer UBO scoring against any threshold. Identifies state-linked investment vehicles and provincial SASAC structures that conventional providers miss.
Defence linkage

Where teams use Entity Screening today.
28 CFR Part 202: covered person determinations under the DOJ Data Security Program.
Since October 2025, US persons engaging in covered data transactions must screen counterparties for covered-person status. Civil penalties reach $368,000 per violation. Wilful violations carry up to 20 years' imprisonment. Our screening produces the determinations the rule requires, with the analyst commentary needed to support legal review.
Resolve end-users on licence applications. Flag dual-use and military-civil fusion connections.
Resolve target ownership through Chinese intermediaries. Identify state and PLA links before signing.
Screen Tier 1 through Tier 3 suppliers. Make your supplier list defensible.
