The company said the agent is designed to cut case handling time by up to 87% and EDD costs per case by up to 90%.

## How the Sigma360 EDD Agent Works

The agent collects internal and external data, summarizes findings across structured modules, identifies risk factors and mitigants, recommends next steps and generates a fully cited narrative ready for regulatory review, according to the company. The analyst remains the decision-maker, and every risk rating and action is documented and traceable. Configurable modules cover industry risk, source of wealth and source of funds, beneficial ownership analysis and geographic risk, with options set by institutional risk appetite. Customers can review the agent prompt directly to see what it does at each step.

"EDD has been a significant pressure point for compliance teams for years, and is one that we believe is ripe for disruption," said Stuart Jones, Jr., Founder and CEO of Sigma360. "We built this agent to deliver on that opportunity for our market and clients."

The company said a single EDD case consumes four hours of analyst time, 85% of it on data gathering alone, and that at a mid-sized firm processing thousands of cases annually, EDD costs consume an estimated $2 million in analyst capacity each year. The agent draws on Sigma360's global risk intelligence dataset, including sanctions and watchlist data, corporate registry and beneficial ownership records across more than 230 countries, and curated intelligence on high-risk financial crime networks. It is available now within the Sigma360 platform alongside sanctions and watchlist screening, adverse media monitoring, entity resolution, perpetual KYC and network risk detection.

## Sigma360's Funding and Platform Scale

According to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), Sigma360 has raised $26.4 million in total funding at Series B stage, with its last round dated April 28, 2026. The same records list seven funding rounds on file, including a $17.3 million Series B in March 2026 led by Moderne Ventures and a $6 million seed in October 2020 led by Hearst's Financial Venture Fund. The records state the platform protects over $2 trillion in assets and company value, and that the company reached profitability in 2025.

## Sigma360's Run of Partnerships and Launches

Sigma360 and Rippling announced a strategic partnership in June 2026 to integrate real-time, AI-driven sanctions screening and risk monitoring into Rippling's global payments infrastructure, PR Newswire reported. Sigma360 also announced a strategic partnership with Evidencity on June 24, 2026, integrating Evidencity's illicit network intelligence covering 80+ jurisdictions into the Sigma360 platform, according to PR Newswire. In May 2026, Sigma360 launched its Adverse Media Agent, a generative-AI feature that reduces irrelevant negative-news content by up to 95% and was validated on 4 million news events across 250 entities, according to akta.pro company records.
