Vigilance 2.0 Monitoring: Transforming Fraud Detection
Available from April 8th, 2026, Vigilance 2.0 Monitor is a major upgrade to our platform, designed to help you stay ahead of fraud in an increasingly AI-driven world.
Recently recognised at the CICM British Credit Awards 2026, this enhanced solution gives you deeper, smarter visibility into suspicious company behaviour by aligning directly with Anomaly Behaviour Indicators (ABIs).
What’s New in Vigilance 2.0 Monitor?
The biggest improvement? More power and precision.

- Over 10,000 “too good to be true” accounts
- More than 230,000 non-UK boards
