IMTF has once again been recognized as a Category Leader in the latest Chartis RiskTech Watchlist and Adverse Media Monitoring Solutions 2026 report, achieving Category Leader status in both:
- Name & Transaction Screening Solutions
- Adverse Media Monitoring Solutions
What Chartis Recognized
Commenting on the recognition, Sean O’Malley, Research Director at Chartis, highlighted several strengths of the Siron®One platform.
“IMTF’s Category Leader placement in our 2026 Name and Transaction Screening quadrant reflects Siron One’s multilayer matching methodology, which combines rules-based logic, fuzzy matching, phonetic techniques, statistical scoring and machine-learning based models. Moreover, Siron One also supports multiple deployment and hosting options, including on-premise, private cloud and managed services, and includes regulatory-ready reporting in standard XML and PDF formats.”
“IMTF’s Category Leader recognition in Chartis’ 2026 Adverse Media Monitoring quadrant reflects the quality of Siron One’s workflow and analytics capabilities, which include data quality and traceability reports, audit reports, data ingestion reporting, screening results and outcomes. We also recognized Siron One for its speed, volume and performance: there is no trade-off between speed/velocity and accuracy as the platform is fully scalable – which means that increases in complexity and volume can be offset by hardware.”
This recognition highlights IMTF’s continued innovation in AI-powered financial crime compliance and reinforces the strength of the Siron®One platform in helping institutions detect, assess, and manage financial crime risks more effectively.
This achievement reflects IMTF’s long-standing focus on combining advanced technology with human expertise. Through Siron®One, organizations benefit from AI-powered screening, intelligent alert prioritization, adverse media monitoring, and integrated case management capabilities designed to improve both effectiveness and operational efficiency.
A key differentiator of the Siron®One platform is its human-centred design philosophy. Rather than replacing compliance professionals, AI is used to augment investigations, reduce repetitive workloads, improve alert quality, and provide richer context for decision-making. This ensures that institutions can leverage the power of artificial intelligence while maintaining transparency, control, and trust.
Sebastian Hetzler, Co-CEO of IMTF, commented:
The recognition also underlines the growing market adoption of IMTF’s solutions across financial institutions and other regulated industries worldwide. Today, more than 1,500 organizations in over 90 countries rely on IMTF technology to support their anti-financial crime and compliance operations.
As financial crime threats continue to evolve, IMTF remains committed to helping organizations stay ahead through a holistic, AI-powered approach to financial crime compliance, enabling faster detection, better decision-making, and more effective risk management.
