The Challenge
No centralized way to assess risk across vendors, partners, and DeFi integrations
Manual, reactive risk tracking slowing down partnerships and exposing vulnerabilities
The Chaindots Solution
Chaindots deployed a multi-layered compliance and risk management suite, tailored specifically for crypto and digital finance operators.
The platform integrated four key Chaindots products:
KYC for Global Retail Onboarding
Using Chaindots’ KYC solution, the company:
Verified users through email, phone, and SSN validation
Added biometric verification with selfie + ID matching to reduce synthetic identity risk
Enabled real-time screening against sanctions lists, PEPs, and negative media
Segmented users with a dynamic KYC Risk Matrix to flag high-risk profiles at the point of onboarding
Automated user onboarding workflows, cutting manual processing time by 70%
KYB for Institutional Onboarding
The company also needed to onboard and manage institutional clients, liquidity providers, OTC desks,
and business partners.
With Chaindots’ KYB solution, they:
Verified businesses with Secretary of State and TIN data, domain analysis, and web presence checks
Identified ultimate beneficial owners (UBOs) and screened them in real-time
Applied a KYB Risk Matrix to determine risk levels based on industry
(e.g., unregulated exchanges, gambling, offshore structures)
Created automated onboarding workflows for business clients, ensuring consistent, auditable processes
Outcome: Faster institutional onboarding with stronger controls for reputational and regulatory risk.
Holistic Vendor & Partner Due Diligence
With growing integrations and vendor dependencies (custodians, oracles, wallet providers, cloud partners), the company needed a full view of third-party risk.
With Chaindots’ Holistic Partner & Vendor Due Diligence, they:
Implemented multi-dimensional risk assessments for third parties, covering AML, InfoSec, fraud, continuity,
privacy, legal, and financial risks
Used the EDD Risk Matrix to score inherent risk vs. control strength
Automated workflows for vendor onboarding, review, and monitoring
Set up continuous due diligence with dynamic review schedules and alerts on risk changes
Outcome: Complete visibility across the partner ecosystem, with the ability to respond quickly to changes in vendor or partner risk profiles.
Program & Policy Shop: Rapid Compliance Deployment
To meet growing regulatory expectations (MiCA, BSA/AML, GDPR), the company tapped into Chaindots’ Program & Policy Shop to quickly establish robust internal policies.
Downloaded ready-to-deploy programs covering AML, InfoSec, Privacy, Business Continuity, and Fraud
Customized templates to fit the company’s structure, business model, and regulatory jurisdictions
Ensured alignment with global standards (FATF, ISO, NIST, GDPR, etc.)
Integrated policies into internal compliance training and third-party documentation
Outcome: Within days, the company had a complete compliance program, ready for audits and investor due diligence.
