Dow Jones Risk & Compliance is an enterprise data provider for sanctions, PEP, relatives-and-close-associates and adverse-media screening, sold through a sales-led demo and quote. Prometiam is narrower: official registry data for six European countries plus sanctions screening (beta) against the EU, UN, OFAC, UK OFSI and French lists and the US Consolidated Screening List, priced from a free tier. It has no adverse media, no global PEP, no state-owned-enterprise data.
You need PEP screening with relatives and close associates across many countries, adverse-media screening in the same platform, state-owned-enterprise exposure data, or a named enterprise vendor delivered through APIs, batch feeds or a case-management partner with a sales-managed onboarding.
You need official registry data for Spain, France, the UK, Ireland, Poland or Norway alongside sanctions-list screening (beta) against the EU, UN, OFAC, UK OFSI and French lists plus the US Consolidated Screening List, want to see the price before you start, and do not need global PEP, RCAs or adverse media.
Sanctions screening is beta. PEP screening is beta, Spain only, sourced from Wikidata by occupation, with no relatives or close associates — it does not by itself satisfy a full FATF PEP obligation. Prometiam has no adverse-media screening and no state-owned-enterprise data. Beneficial ownership is UK PSC register data only; other registries return officers, not beneficial owners.

Two derived signals on the Prometiam side, neither of them a rating: registry_compliance, which marks companies still on the register that stopped meeting their filing duties (Spain, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Norway), and public procurement — Spanish contract awards by supplier, buyer, tax id, CPV code and date, plus a beta score for the contracting body itself in Spain and France. Both are dated facts with their source, on the published price and in the free tier; a score is a prompt to look, never a finding of wrongdoing. Public-buyer risk · Procurement screening
