Built on a Security-First Architecture
Facctum’s technology stack is designed around the principle of least privilege and data minimisation. Every component of the system, from ingestion to screening, operates under strict security protocols. Sensitive data is encrypted both in transit and at rest using advanced cryptographic standards, ensuring it remains secure throughout the compliance process.
Use Case: End-to-end encryption of customer and sanctions data.
Benefit: Protects data confidentiality and integrity across all screening workflows.
Outcome: Reduced risk of unauthorised access or data leakage.
This foundation ensures that data protection is embedded into every stage of the AML lifecycle.
ISO 27001-Certified Infrastructure
Facctum’s infrastructure is independently audited and certified under ISO 27001:2022, the global standard for information security management. This certification validates the company’s commitment to maintaining robust controls over data confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Use Case: Secure cloud deployment and operational resilience.
Benefit: Demonstrates adherence to international best practices.
Outcome: Stronger assurance for financial institutions and regulators.
This certification reflects Facctum’s dedication to continuous improvement in cybersecurity and risk management.
Access Control and Identity Management
Strict access control policies ensure that only authorised personnel can view or interact with sensitive data. Facctum uses multi-factor authentication, role-based permissions, and session-level tracking to safeguard system access.
Use Case: Controlled data access for compliance analysts and system administrators.
Benefit: Prevents insider risk and enforces accountability.
Outcome: Complete visibility over data access and user activity.
These measures align with global data protection frameworks, ensuring compliance with regional privacy laws such as GDPR.
Data Residency and Regulatory Compliance
Facctum enables organisations to deploy within specific jurisdictions to meet regional data residency requirements. This ensures compliance with local data protection laws while maintaining operational efficiency.
Use Case: Regional deployment for compliance with data localisation laws.
Benefit: Supports global operations while respecting local regulatory frameworks.
Outcome: Reduced legal exposure and enhanced governance.
This approach aligns with evolving expectations from supervisory authorities, including the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).
Continuous Monitoring and Threat Detection
Facctum’s infrastructure incorporates automated monitoring, anomaly detection, and incident response protocols. These controls help identify unusual activity or potential threats before they impact system integrity.
Use Case: Real-time infrastructure and application monitoring.
Benefit: Early detection of potential security risks.
Outcome: Enhanced resilience and faster remediation.
Continuous security oversight ensures that the platform adapts to emerging risks without disrupting compliance workflows.
Transparent Governance and Accountability
Every screening action, data update, and user interaction is recorded to create a complete audit trail. This transparency allows institutions to demonstrate compliance with both internal governance policies and external regulatory expectations.
Use Case: Automated generation of system and access logs.
Benefit: Simplifies regulatory reporting and internal review.
Outcome: Strengthened trust and operational integrity.
