C6’s kyC6 solution has been specifically designed for compliance professionals as unique, modular KYC Portal, facilitating rapid and accurate on-boarding and monitoring of clients, vendors and employees.

kyC6 combines multiple data sources within an easy-to-use SaaS (Software as a Service) application. The application provides access to all the base line data required to initiate a search including Corporate Registry Data and ID&V data but builds on this with an additional seven data sets, including a unique C6 ID Fraud database which contains over 400 million records of individuals and corporations currently being sold or offered for sale on the Dark Web.

Darren Innes, C6 Intelligence’s Chief Operating Officer, said: “The risk of fraud, money laundering and ID theft has never been greater as criminals seek to expose the weaknesses around personal and organisational data and systems. kyC6, has the capability to expose, monitor and report on the risks associated with forming new business relationships, protecting clients against damage to the financial, legal and reputational status of their organisation.

C6 Fraud Intelligence

Due to massive advances in technology, electronic fraud is becoming an ever-increasing threat. We combat the criminals who are constantly using new technology to improve their ability to conduct fraudulent activity, by gathering data for our own very unique database which contains 400 million records.

We constantly disclose personal information every time we join a website, buy something online and link with friends. When we submit our name, address, email or credit card details we increase our chance of being the victim of ID fraud.

As criminals become increasingly sophisticated so must our information gathering techniques. Other identity security organisations use spidering technology, which only captures the compromised IDs once they have been used and released onto the Worldwide Web by criminals. But we believe early detection is the key to minimising exposure and the consequences of identity theft.

We gather data by penetrating the dark web by knowing where to look and what to look for. We know where to look and what to look for. Our cutting-edge technology and constantly evolving collection techniques allow us to stay abreast of the technological advances of criminals, keeping us at the forefront of the fight against cybercrime.

Our unique database includes over 400 million records of individual and corporations currently being sold or offered for sale in the last three years. It is growing by an average of 300,000 records a day.

The most powerful part of our ID fraud prevention is our ability to find the risk while the criminal is still building a profile, alerting you early and significantly reducing your exposure
