Blackguard, Inc.

BLACKGUARD provides a next generation, technology tool as a highly effective, simple to use, cost-effective and secure means to quickly identify and respond correctly to potential risks and compliance tasks while actively participating in section 314(b) (USA PATRIOT Act) information sharing program as encouraged by FinCEN. BLACKGUARD is an easy to use cloud-based relational database coupled with a proprietary technology (patent pending, and published) of facial data storage and matching engineering, quick field data logging, and real time updates for more effective risk management and robust AML compliance at reduced operating costs. Using the latest image recognition technology, BLACKGUARD assists in many areas of your AML program, including, but not limited to, complete and accurate CIP, KYC and monitoring results to conduct more timely account review, active transaction monitoring, smurf logging, fraud alerts, and PEP screens. BLACKGUARD is a cloud-based, facial-biometric matching relational database with internal and external applications for senior level anti-money laundering, OFAC, BSA and risk management professionals. BLACKGUARD is accessible only by a limited number of qualified users within pre-screened organizations to ensure data quality and security. Housed in a secure data center requiring a security clearance for access, the facial recognition and relational database matching technologies of Blackguard are monitored 24/7 to reduce downtime and data breaches. A simple and easy to understand user interface allows for record creation, image upload, and matching results within approximately 2 minutes from log on. Encryption features, without reverse engineering capabilities, mask sensitive user login passwords, customer account numbers or social security numbers.
