Your intelligence partner
for a compliant Africa
Stodacom Africa gives compliance teams the verified data, risk intelligence, and investigative depth to meet regulatory obligations — across all 54 African countries.
Compliance in Africa is complex. We make it manageable.
Africa's 54 jurisdictions come with 54 different regulatory environments, record-keeping standards, and risk landscapes. Off-the-shelf global tools miss the nuance — and regulators are not forgiving.
Whether you're onboarding a new client, vetting a supplier, or responding to a regulatory audit, you need intelligence that is verified, defensible, and Africa-specific.
Fragmented records
Court records, company registries, and identity databases are rarely digitised across African markets.
Regulatory divergence
AML, FATF, and local regulations vary widely — what passes in one country may fail in another.
PEP & sanctions gaps
Generic global databases miss thousands of African PEPs, SOEs, and sanctioned entities.
Reputational blind spots
Local media, court filings, and investigative reports in 200+ languages go unseen without ground-level researchers.
Three pillars of compliance support
Our services are built around the core obligations every compliance officer faces — KYC, due diligence, and background screening.
Know Your Customer (KYC)
Meeting KYC obligations across African markets requires more than a database lookup. Our KYC support combines identity verification, sanctions screening, PEP identification, and adverse media research — all physically verified where electronic records are absent.
Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD)
When standard checks aren't enough, our Enhanced Due Diligence reports go deeper — investigating corporate structures, beneficial ownership, financial exposure, litigation history, and reputational risk across 30 defined risk categories.
Background Screening
Compliance teams are increasingly accountable for who enters the organisation — not just external counterparties. Our background screening programme gives you a defensible, documented record of every pre-employment check, at any scale, across Africa.
Built for audit trails. Designed for accountability.
Every report we produce is documented, timestamped, and defensible — so you can demonstrate regulatory compliance with confidence.
Defensible Reports
Every report includes source citations, researcher notes, and a clear audit trail — ready for regulatory review or board presentation.
Real-Time Risk Monitoring
StodacomDesktop® alerts you when a counterparty's risk profile changes — new sanctions, adverse media, or PEP status updates — without waiting for a periodic review cycle.
Africa-Specific Intelligence
Our database covers 5M+ African entities across 30 risk categories — PEPs, SOEs, sanctions, fraud, corruption — unavailable in any generic global provider.
Dedicated Account Support
A named account manager handles your programme — tracking turnaround times, escalating complex cases, and ensuring your team is never left waiting on critical checks.
ISO 27001 Certified
Your data and your subjects' data are handled under certified information security management — encrypted in transit and at rest, with strict access controls.
GDPR & Local Law Compliant
We operate in full compliance with GDPR, applicable African data protection laws, and require proper consent frameworks — so your programme is compliant from end to end.

Screen names against our proprietary database of 5M+ African records across 30 risk categories — sanctions, PEPs, SOEs, fraud, corruption, and more. Updated daily. Accessible independently or integrated via API into your existing compliance workflow.
