About Moody's Grid

Moody's Grid is a global risk data source that helps identify potential issues related to financial crime, compliance, and reputational risk. It brings together information on companies and individuals linked to events such as sanctions, PEP designation, fraud, corruption, money laundering, and other high‑risk activities.

Moody's Grid continuously monitors, reviews, researches, and analyzes information from a variety of sources throughout the day:

  • Monitored lists

    Moody's tracks government and regulatory lists from around the world. These include sanctions and embargo lists, exclusion and debarment lists, enforcement actions, fraud warnings, and other official classifications that may indicate risk.

  • Global adverse media

    Moody's Grid monitors hundreds of news sources across multiple languages to identify risk‑related events reported in the media. This includes local and regional news coverage, which often reports early risk developments that are not yet covered in global outlets.

  • Public records and open sources

    Moody's Grid also draws from publicly available records and sources to capture relevant information that may not appear in lists or media reporting.

As a data provider, Moody's Grid provides entity information that supports screening tasks and decisions with the most current and relevant risk data.
