Problem
Businesses face challenges in navigating the complex and often opaque economic landscape of China, struggling to identify hidden risks, understand corporate relationships, and comply with evolving regulations. This lack of transparency hinders informed decision-making and exposes organizations to potential risks related to sanctions, export controls, and illicit activities.
Solution
WireScreen provides an open-source intelligence (OSINT) platform that delivers comprehensive data and analytics on corporate ownership, investments, and relationships within China. The platform aggregates and structures data from over 50 primary sources, including corporate records, government documents, financial exchanges, and commercial transactions, creating a searchable network of over 14 million organizations and 25 million individuals. WireScreen's entity resolution technology automatically identifies and flags risks across subsidiaries, joint ventures, and related entities, enabling users to uncover hidden connections, assess potential exposures, and make informed decisions. Users can access the data through a web application for network visualization and industry exploration, via the WireScreen API for integration into existing applications, or through specialized data feeds focused on military end-use and forced labor.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes government agencies involved in national security, enforcement, and policy, as well as law firms, think tanks, and private-sector compliance teams focused on understanding and mitigating risks associated with business in China.
