Firms Partner To Streamline AI-driven Compliance

Dun & Bradstreet, a global provider of business data and analytics, has announced a collaboration with Anthropic to integrate its commercial risk data into Claude, Anthropic’s artificial intelligence assistant, to improve enterprise compliance and onboarding processes.

Disclosing this in a statement on Monday, the company said that the partnership will embed Dun & Bradstreet’s Commercial Graph™, a global database of business identities and risk indicators, into Claude, enabling organisations to automate due diligence and compliance workflows using AI.

The company said the integration is designed to simplify corporate onboarding, which has traditionally depended on manual verification and lengthy processing times. Financial institutions and other regulated organisations will be able to automate Know Your Customer (KYC) and Know Your Business (KYB) processes through a single AI-powered interface.

Speaking on the collaboration, group director, Products, Dun & Bradstreet South Asia, Middle East and Africa, Nauman Lakhani, said the partnership combines artificial intelligence with trusted business data to improve decision-making. “The value of this collaboration lies in connecting AI with trusted business context, making it usable in real-world decision environments where accuracy and confidence matter. Embedding verified data directly into workflows can help organisations strengthen governance and make decisions with greater clarity,” he said.

“The platform is built around the globally recognised D-U-N-S® Number, which provides a standardised method of identifying businesses across markets and supports consistent risk assessment and compliance activities,” the statement read.

Dun & Bradstreet said the collaboration reflects the growing adoption of intelligence-led workflows across enterprise operations as organisations seek to improve efficiency while meeting regulatory requirements.
