Trusted decisions · Made in Europe

Do you know who you’re dealing with?

What our clients say
Our vision

Why we’re building a strong European solution.

“At Ufenau Capital Partners we rely on thorough risk analysis to safeguard investments, partnerships and hiring decisions. Indicium’s automated, data-driven reports give us efficient, GDPR-compliant and in-depth insight. It strengthens our HR due diligence as much as our pre-employment checks when attracting talent and executives, and empowers us to make well-founded decisions.”

Head of Talent · Ufenau Capital Partners

“I’m impressed by the Complete check. With it, we can quickly identify fraudulent counterparties in transactions and effectively protect our clients from harm. In litigation and internal investigations we use it to expose weaknesses in the parties involved, a considerable advantage for our clients.”

“Indicium helps us assess critical risks efficiently and with legal certainty, at a depth that genuinely convinces us. A real asset to our compliance processes.”

Trusted by

Indicium checks who you’re dealing with, automated, traceable, with a human as the final authority. Built in Europe by design: your most sensitive data stays under European law.

Proof before pitch

See the report before you book anything.

The sample report is a real, anonymized decision record: dated sources, grouped findings, signal separated from noise, human-review notes where relevant — and an explicit statement of what the check cannot see.

Traffic-light assessment with reasoned context — not just “hit / no hit.”
Every source dated, with retrieval time and cut-off date.
Audit trail with identifier — who checked what, in which order, under four-eyes where relevant.
Honest boundary — what the check structurally could not see.

The problem

Sensitive decisions turn on people — and the public record is fragmented.

A hiring decision, an investment, a mandate, a supplier approval: they all depend on whether the picture of a person or company is complete enough to defend. Search results are fragments. Indicium turns them into a decision record.

Fragmented sources
Sanctions, PEP lists, registers, press, ownership structures and digital traces sit in different places — with different dates and reliability.
No reviewable chain
A search result shows what you found. It does not show how you checked, what you missed, or why you decided.
High-stakes ambiguity
The difficult cases are not the obvious hits. They are the near-matches, outdated records, conflicting spellings and unexplained gaps.
The solution

You no longer have to choose.

The software solves most of it alone, fast, reliable, repeatable. Where it gets complex, analysts take over. Together: augmented intelligence.

Augmented Intelligence
Software at the core. People where it counts.
Core · the product
AI software core
Solves most of it alone: seven check categories in parallel, every source dated, a reliable body of facts in minutes instead of days, reproducible at any time.
Augmented where it counts
Human analysis
Lawyers and former investigators take over strategy, context and the final judgment on edge cases, where a database stops.
Human final review
Four-eyes principle where significance is elevated. No solely automated decision with legal effect (Art. 22 GDPR).
EU-Hosting
Queries and reports in the EU. Made in Europe for Europe, an honest line, not an absolute promise.
Reviewable documentation
Dated sources and a traceable audit trail — ready to be presented to Legal, the Board and auditors.
The software in action

From a name to a documented decision record.

The software at work: from the opened case to the reasoned assessment, directly in the product.

Open the case
Name, PDF or ATS import — the software identifies the subject and starts the check.
Check seven categories in parallel
Sanctions, PEP, adverse media, registers/UBO, press, network and social traces.
Date every source
No black-box result. Every statement traces back to source and timestamp.
Assess, don’t dump
Findings are grouped, weighted and separated from noise.
Add human review where it matters
Elevated findings can be reviewed under the four-eyes principle.
Why not Google, ChatGPT or your KYC tool?

A search result is not a process. A chatbot summary is not a decision record.

Google can help you find signals. ChatGPT can order and phrase what exists. Your KYC tool answers whether a name appears on a list. None of them gives you the documented, proportionate and reviewable record you need when someone asks how you decided.

The answer

One report logic, three check depths.

The software solves the repeatable part: source collection, matching, dating, structuring. Where judgement matters, human review is added. The result is a documented basis for decision — not a black box.

Indicium Radar
For executive search

Introduced, not placed, and months later working for your client after all.

Indicium Radar is our monitoring for executive search: it detects when an introduced candidate later starts at your client after all, the quiet hire that costs you your placement fee. Built with a search firm.

Detects quietly completed hires of introduced candidates, monitored over months.
Documents the finding, source, date and evidence: prepared so you can assert your fee claim.
Pays off from the first finding, a single secured fee exceeds the monitoring cost.
Early access · live with first clientsMore on Radar
Continuous monitoringPlacement book · live
Monitored candidatesHit · hired after all
The circle keeps turning even after the process seemed over for you, and flags the moment your candidate starts after all.
"Radar pays for itself on the first detected backdoor hire. One saved placement fee exceeds an entire year of monitoring."

Built for your context

The same report logic — tuned to the decision you have to defend.

The question “who am I dealing with?” looks different in every role. The report is the same, what matters in it differs.

Indicium integrates with all major Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) — the ten leading European platforms and beyond. We handle the integration for you — setup is done within 2 weeks maximum. Time-to-value: from kickoff to your first check in under 14 days.

Real voices, or none at all

What clients say when the report has to hold up internally.

We’d rather show a few verifiable voices than many logos no one can check. What appears here is the approved, original wording.

Disclosure: Prof. Schenker uses Indicium as a client and is also President of the Board of Indicium Technologies AG. We disclose this dual role, his opinion counts as that of an involved party, not an independent third party.

Our confidence rating per report is an internally defined metric for how robust the sources are, with a disclosed scale and method, not an external industry rating and not a star score.

Pricing

Transparent per report. Scoped where judgement adds depth.

The Software-Report starts at €79 per report. Most reports land around €150–250, depending on depth. Hybrid and Boutique are scoped in a call because analyst-led work depends on scope, deadline and audience.

FAQ & method

The questions a reviewer asks first.

What does “reviewable” mean — and what doesn’t it mean?+
Five things: traceable methodology, dated sources reproducible as of the cut-off date, immutable documentation, a qualified author and an explicit statement of limits. It does not mean an outcome guarantee.
Which lists and sources do you check?+
Sanctions, PEP and watchlists of the relevant regimes, commercial and ownership registers, court and press research, and a structural look-through to beneficial ownership where open and licensed sources allow.
What can the check structurally not see?+
What is registered nowhere cannot be seen from open and licensed sources: cash, unregistered offshore trusts without a register, hidden holdings. Every report delineates what it covers — and what it does not.
How does human final review work?+
At defined trigger thresholds, the case goes to a qualified analyst under the four-eyes principle, documented in the audit trail. A decision with legal effect is never made by the machine alone.
Where does my data sit?+
Your query and report data is hosted on AWS infrastructure within the EU. We chose AWS for its security capabilities and compliance tooling — and we name the known CLOUD Act residual risk openly instead of hiding it behind a sovereignty label.
Are you ISO 27001 / SOC 2 certified?+
Until an attestation is issued, we don’t claim it. Available for review: our technical and organizational measures.
Why Indicium instead of World-Check, Dow Jones, LexisNexis or a law firm?+
The large data providers give you hits; analysis is on you. A law firm gives you judgment at an hourly rate. Indicium gives you the finished, reviewable report — with human review where judgement matters.
