Dun & Bradstreet Unveils New Agentic AI Capabilities for Compliance Workflows

Dun & Bradstreet announced yesterday that it has introduced new agentic AI capabilities designed to operate directly inside compliance workflows, a move the company says can reduce processing times by 70 to 90 percent and help organizations turn risk mitigation into a business advantage.

The capabilities are now available within the D&B Risk Analytics platform and through fully agentic integration with the company’s Model Context Protocol server. The update allows organizations to embed verified D&B data, models and workflows into AI assistants and custom agents, accelerating onboarding, screening and due‑diligence processes.

“As the pace and complexity of regulations accelerate and bad actors find new ways to exploit businesses, compliance teams are at a breaking point,” said Alex Zuck, General Manager of Risk at Dun & Bradstreet. He said companies have struggled to implement the data needed to power AI systems, adding, “That changes today.”

The D&B Risk Analytics platform, built on decades of domain expertise and the company’s Commercial Graph, already supports continuous KYC and KYB monitoring. With embedded AI and MCP integration, the platform now extends beyond analysis to automated execution across onboarding, screening, due diligence and monitoring tasks.

Zuck said processes that traditionally take days or weeks, such as determining a company’s ultimate beneficial owner, can now be completed in seconds and delivered directly into client workflows without human intervention.

Dun & Bradstreet says the new capabilities allow compliance teams to shift from fragmented manual processes to more consistent and efficient execution while maintaining policy alignment and traceability. Routine tasks such as entity identification, screening prioritization and false‑positive resolution can be automated, freeing teams to focus on higher‑value decisions.

Industry benchmarks cited by the company show improvements including up to a 20‑fold increase in review capacity, processing‑time reductions of 70 to 96 percent, false‑positive reductions of 50 to 90 percent and resolution speeds up to seven times faster.

Patrick Reymann, Research Director for Procurement Applications and Agents at IDC, said the automation potential could be especially valuable for smaller companies that lack the resources to maintain full compliance programs.

Zuck said client feedback played a central role in shaping the new capabilities. “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.”

The new features are available immediately within the D&B Risk Analytics platform and through MCP integration in Anthropic’s Claude, with additional integrations planned for Microsoft Copilot, Google platforms and other leading AI ecosystems.
