1. Understanding the High-Risk Connections Tag

  • SILO does not include connected profile risk scores in the calculated score of a corporate or trust profile.

  • Each director, shareholder, or beneficial owner must be risk-rated independently.

  • The tag is a visual alert for users to consider EDD or escalation when a high-risk connection exists.


2. Where the High-Risk Tag Appears

The tag appears when a high-risk connection is present—active or historical:

  • Top of Main Profile Page

  • Connections Page

Former connections still trigger the tag, ensuring historical risks remain visible for compliance decisions.


3. Best Practices for Risk Rating Connected Profiles

  • Assign a risk rating to each connected profile:

    • Directors

    • Shareholders

    • Beneficial Owners

  • High-risk connections should inform the compliance officer’s overall risk determination.

For profiles with multiple high-risk connections, escalate to a senior reviewer or consider enhanced due diligence (EDD).


4. Configuring High-Risk Ratings in SILO

To manage and adjust high-risk categories:

  1. Go to Administration > Risk Ratings

  2. Review existing labels for clarity and consistency

  3. Update or add new high-risk categories if needed

Confirm that rating labels reflect your internal risk categorization model.


5. Requesting Configuration Changes

Changes to high-risk rating definitions must follow compliance governance:

  • Obtain written approval from a Head of Compliance or Senior Manager

  • Submit signed authorization for SILO Support to apply changes
