Release Notes – Early 2026 (January–February)

What's new in Business Radar in January and February 2026.

PDF report scraping

PDF reports are commonly used by stock brokers for market updates. These documents will be shown in the same way as articles in the Business Radar feed.

Accessing Chinese news sources for Chinese articles

Specific Chinese news sources were not accessible in the past, which was resolved with the latest update. This enables coverage of Chinese news sources.

Own compliance database

Compliance data on sanctions, PEP, government linked entities, is scraped directly instead of relying on a third-party vendor. We achieve the same data coverage but building our own solution offers more customisation options.

External API update

Sharing changes in company information - such as changes in the company name, corporate structure, address, etc. - through the external API.

Missing company investigations can be raised through the API and compliance integration was improved with the option to check individuals not related to companies.

Automatic false positive rating

Automatically assigned false positives are visible in the screening including a reasoning. These were previously not shown and not accessible. To see the details, click the robot icon.

Automatic false positive ratings can be overwritten by marking the result as a risk confirmed. As previously, the results and actions will be visible in the audit trail.

Compliance entity screening

By selecting one entity to screen and conducting the screening, previous screening results under the same company will not be affected.

Materiality flag

The filter reviews the article and categories identified and determines the material impact the event has on the company under monitoring. This allows the filtering on signals that have a significant impact and therefore reduce the amount of false positives.

The filter is accessible on the articles page and alert settings. It can be applied through the external API.

Articles page: only visible if companies are selected.

Portfolio upload status

Batch registration tracking and overview including dates, companies, status and previous imports.

Frontend changes

Now including economic regions such as the EU, LATAM, UKI, etc. in article filtering and company searches.
