The Minerva App is our primary web-based application that provides an intuitive way to learn about how your screening program is performing, review potential matches, adjudicate alerts, manage your ongoing monitoring program, and conduct risk assessments as needed.

Getting Access

Minerva is a private platform and access is currently managed by the Minerva team:
  • New users are added during your organization’s onboarding process
  • Additional users can be added upon request - please ask your administrator to email [email protected] for access
  • Role-based permissions are not currently supported — all users have the same level of access

UI Overview

The Minerva User Interface has three main sections:
  1. Dashboards
  2. Screening
  3. Risk Assessments
This guide walks through the features and workflows of each.

1. Dashboards

The Overview section is designed to provide a high-level overview of both your screening program and risk assessments. The main overview tab shows profiles with risk and profile statuses requiring attention. The section below shows recent risk assessments, making it easy to get a sense of what’s been happening in Minerva from a risk perspective. The Screening Analytics section (coming soon) is designed to provide you with a detailed view of screening system performance and key metrics like hit rates, risk exposure, true and false positive rates, and more.

2. Screening

Minerva screening workflow is designed for compliance teams that want to reduce false positives, work more efficiently, and easily meet evolving risk management requirements at scale.

Profiles

Profiles can be created one at a time in the UI, via the Onboarding API as part of an integration, or via batch upload (UI/API). Profiles can be screened in real-time for Sanctions, Political Exposure (PEP), and Adverse Media (ADM) according to your organization’s policies. Each organization has a configuration in Minerva to determine which risk feeds (Sanctions, PEP, ADM) should be used for screening and at what cadence (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Annually). The main profile page shows a table view of all your organization’s profiles. Profiles are visible to everyone who has access to your organization in Minerva. By default, the profile table is filtered to show profiles with risk.

Potential Matches

Each profile with risk will have potential matches to review:
  • A criteria match score (how closely the result matches your search parameters)
  • Source and context for each data point
Analysts can easily review each match in detail, evaluate associated risk indicators, mark matches as true or false, leave comments, and take action directly in the Minerva App.

3. Risk Assessments & Reports

The risk assessment section is used to perform enhanced searches and generate detailed risk reports which can be exported as a PDF.

Conducting a Risk Assessment

  1. Choose Individual or Organization
  2. Enter the relevant details
    • Full name is required, but including a date and location will provide optimal results
  3. Select the data categories you want to include:
    • Sanctions
    • Political Exposure
    • Adverse Media
    • Criminal
    • Legal Cases
    • Offshore Assets & Leaks
    • Open Source Intelligence
    • Social Media
    • Ownership

Select and Review Potential Matches

Potential matches are ranked by criteria match score which indicates how closely the information provided matches the information Minerva was able to find about the subject. If you’re interested in saving the results of your risk assessment as a PDF, you can use the Generate Report button to save the report for later.
