Ongoing Monitoring keeps your client due diligence current by running daily checks on individual clients against PEPs lists, sanctions lists, and hundreds of other data sources. When a change is detected, Legl generates an alert so your compliance team can review it and record any action taken.

Run daily automated checks on clients against PEPs lists, sanctions lists, and watchlists

How Ongoing Monitoring works
Legl runs daily automated checks on each monitored client against a wide range of data sources, including politically exposed persons (PEPs) lists, sanctions lists, and adverse watchlists.
If a match or change is detected, Legl generates an alert and notifies the relevant compliance contact by email. Your team can then review the alert, record any action taken, and update the client's risk status directly in Legl.
A weekly summary email is also sent to the designated compliance contact, giving a consolidated view of monitoring activity across all monitored clients. You can update which email address receives these alerts in Monitoring Settings.
