Programmatically access sanctions, PEP, and adverse media screening, alert queues, case decisions, and ongoing monitoring from LexisNexis Bridger Insight with a stable REST API. Supergood builds and operates production-grade, unofficial Bridger Insight integrations so your team can automate AML/KYC workflows without heavy custom engineering.

Plain English: LexisNexis Bridger Insight is compliance software used by banks, fintechs, lenders, and other regulated businesses to screen customers and counterparties against sanctions lists, politically exposed persons (PEPs), law enforcement, and adverse media sources, and to manage alerts and cases for AML/KYC decisions. An unofficial API lets you pull screening results, alerts, and case history—and push new parties to screen, update dispositions, attach evidence, and enroll customers in ongoing monitoring.

For a tech company integrating with Bridger Insight, this means you can ingest real-time screening outcomes to power onboarding decisions, sync alert queues to your case management or ticketing systems, publish decisions and audit trails back to Bridger Insight, and trigger rescreens when profile data changes. You can build features like automated customer risk scoring, continuous monitoring with webhooks into your platform, transaction beneficiary screening, and unified compliance dashboards spanning multiple data providers.

What is LexisNexis Bridger Insight?

Bridger Insight (https://bridger.lexisnexis.com/) is an AML/KYC screening and compliance platform that helps organizations identify sanctions and PEP exposure, detect adverse media risk, manage alerts and investigations, and maintain regulatory audit trails. It leverages curated watchlist and risk intelligence datasets to support onboarding, periodic reviews, and ongoing monitoring.

Core product areas include:

  • Screening & Monitoring (Sanctions, PEPs, Enforcement, Adverse Media)
  • Case Management & Investigations (Alert queues, dispositions, escalations, audit trail)
  • Data & Watchlists (Global sanctions and regulatory lists, PEP profiles, media categories)
  • Matching & Rules (Fuzzy name matching, transliteration, geographies, identifiers, thresholds)
  • Batch Processing & Ongoing Monitoring (Bulk import, scheduled rescreens, delta updates)
  • Reporting & Compliance (Decision logs, evidence, exports, QA)

Common data entities:

  • Parties/Subjects (Individuals and Organizations: names, aliases, DOB/incorporation, addresses, identifiers)
  • Screenings (On-demand checks, parameters, match candidates, scores)
  • Hits/Matches (Watchlist entity, list/source, match score, risk factors)
  • Alerts (Group of hits requiring review with severity and status)
  • Cases (Investigations combining related alerts, assignments, notes, evidence)
  • Watchlist Sources (OFAC, UN, EU, HMT, PEP tiers, adverse media categories)
  • Users/Roles & Queues (Analyst assignment, permissions)
  • Documents/Evidence (KYB/KYC docs, screenshots, memos)
  • Audit Events (Who did what, when, with before/after values)

The Bridger Insight Integration Challenge

Compliance teams rely on Bridger Insight daily, but turning portal-centric screening and casework into API-driven automation can be challenging:

  • Fuzzy matching nuance: Name parsing, aliases, transliteration, and identifier weighting impact results and require consistent parameterization
  • Dynamic lists: Frequent watchlist and media updates trigger rescreens and new alerts that must be correlated back to your customers
  • Long-running workflows: Batch uploads, monitoring enrollments, and hit investigation span minutes to days and need asynchronous handling
  • Authentication complexity: SSO/MFA and session lifecycles complicate headless automation
  • Entitlements & segregation: Role-based access and queue ownership must be respected across teams and regions
  • Audit rigor: Every action requires traceability, idempotency, and evidence capture for regulatory review

How Supergood Creates Bridger Insight APIs

Supergood reverse-engineers authenticated browser flows and network interactions to deliver a resilient API endpoint layer for your Bridger Insight tenant.

  • Handles username/password, SSO/OAuth, and MFA (SMS, email, TOTP) securely
  • Maintains session continuity with automated refresh and change detection
  • Normalizes screening, alert, and case objects so you can integrate once and rely on consistent schemas
  • Aligns with customer entitlements and role-based permissions to ensure compliant access
  • Supports high-volume operations (bulk screens, monitoring) with polling or webhooks for long-running jobs

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which Bridger Insight modules can this integration cover?

Supergood supports workflows commonly used for AML/KYC, including Screening & Monitoring (sanctions, PEP, adverse media), Alerts & Case Management (queues, dispositions, evidence), and Reporting/Audit (decision logs, exports), subject to your licensing and entitlements. We scope coverage during integration assessment.

Q: How are MFA and SSO handled for automation?

We support username/password + MFA (SMS, email, TOTP) and can operate behind SSO/OAuth when enabled. Sessions are refreshed automatically with secure challenge handling and monitoring for session expiry.

Q: Do you support ongoing monitoring and batch screening?

Yes. We can enroll parties into ongoing monitoring and deliver newly generated alerts via webhooks or polling. For batch screening, we support high-volume uploads with job status polling and normalized per-record results.

Q: How do you standardize match scores and risk ratings?

We normalize match scores, hit types (sanctions, PEP, adverse media), severities, and common factors (DOB/ID/name similarity) into a consistent schema while preserving raw source data for audit.

Q: Can we attach evidence and maintain an audit trail?

Yes. We support uploading attachments via signed uploads, linking them to alerts or cases, and capturing rationale, approver, and timestamps with immutable audit records.
