Dun & Bradstreet, a business data and analytics provider, has launched agentic AI capabilities within its D&B Risk Analytics platform, enabling organisations to reduce compliance and third-party risk processing times by between 70% and 90%.
The new capabilities are now available within the D&B Risk Analytics platform and through its Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, allowing businesses to embed verified D&B data, models and workflows directly into AI assistants and custom agents. The integration is designed to accelerate onboarding, screening and due diligence processes, with early results indicating a reduction in processing time of between 70% and 96%, a cut in false positives of between 50% and 90%, a review capacity increase of up to 20 times, and false positive resolution speeds up to 700% faster than current benchmarks.
The platform draws on the D&B Commercial Graph to support continuous KYC/KYB compliance monitoring. With the addition of MCP integration, the platform now extends beyond risk analysis to agentic execution across onboarding, screening, due diligence and monitoring workflows. Routine compliance tasks, including entity identification, screening prioritisation and false positive resolution, can be automated with full traceability and policy alignment retained. The capabilities are currently available via Anthropic’s Claude, with further integrations planned for Microsoft Copilot and Google ecosystems.
Dun & Bradstreet general manager of risk Alex Zuck said, “As the pace and complexity of regulations accelerate and bad actors find new ways to exploit businesses, compliance teams are at a breaking point. The typical approach of throwing investment into fragmented software, data and services isn’t sufficient, especially as the talent and roles needed to fight back have never been harder to keep or to hire. While AI has been offered as the silver bullet, companies have struggled to implement the data they need to fuel it. That changes today.”
Dun & Bradstreet is a provider of business data and analytics with decades of domain expertise codified across data, models and software. Its D&B Risk Analytics platform helps companies monitor compliance and make faster decisions using verified commercial data. The new agentic capabilities are intended to serve organisations across all levels of AI maturity, lowering the barrier to compliance for smaller businesses that have historically lacked the resources to support such programmes.
IDC research director, procurement applications and agents Patrick Reymann said, “Limited resources often prevent small and midsize companies from committing to compliance programs. Automating workflows to surface risk events represents an outstanding opportunity to expand access to compliance operations. I tend to think that is absolutely something smaller companies would be very hungry for.”
Dun & Bradstreet general manager of risk Alex Zuck said, “Traditional KYB onboarding takes days and sometimes weeks. Even tasks like determining the ultimate beneficial owner of a company require searching registries, validating documents and piecing ownership together manually. D&B can now complete that process and more in seconds, delivering all of it into clients’ onboarding workflows without human intervention.”
Dun & Bradstreet general manager of risk Alex Zuck said, “We heard and worked with clients of all sizes and program maturity to provide this solution to a key problem: the need for a better way to understand who they’re doing business with.”
