complead (formerly Sanction Scanner) has been recognized as a RiskTech100® 2027 Disruptor by Chartis Research in the Risk Intelligence and Data Management category. Chartis announced the RiskTech100® 2027 ranking and award winners on September 24, 2026, during Risk Live North America in New York.
“Recognition from Chartis matters to us because it reflects how risk technology actually performs inside financial institutions. We built complead on the belief that every compliance decision is only as strong as the data underneath it, and we will keep investing in that foundation as we grow.”
– Fatih Coşkun, Founder & CEO, September 2026
About RiskTech100® 2027
RiskTech100®, published every year by Chartis Research, is one of the most closely followed assessments of the risk and compliance technology market. Alongside its ranked list of vendors, the report names category winners and recognizes specialized firms that Chartis sees driving innovation in their field.
The 2027 edition also introduced new technology categories, among them Risk Intelligence, reflecting how much weight data and its underlying infrastructure now carry across the risk ecosystem. Chartis described this cycle as highly competitive, with broader participation than in previous years.
Why data sits at the center of the recognition
complead was built on the view that compliance decisions are only as good as the data under them. Before any screening result or risk score reaches an analyst, the platform collects and resolves sanctions and watchlist data from 1,500+ lists across 220+ countries, together with PEP data and adverse media.
That data layer feeds screening, monitoring, onboarding and fraud detection on one customer view, so the same resolved picture of a person or company is used wherever a risk decision is made.
Where complead is today
complead is an AI-native compliance, risk and fraud platform used by 800+ financial institutions in 70+ countries. In September 2026, the company completed its rebrand from Sanction Scanner to complead, reflecting a scope that now goes well beyond sanctions screening.
The RiskTech100® recognition follows earlier industry recognition, including being named a RegTech100 company in 2023 and appearing in the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 EMEA.
