DOKS

What DOKS does

DOKS is a compliance automation platform operated by Alma Insights, a division of Alma Media Oyj (Nasdaq Helsinki: ALMA), a publicly listed Finnish media and digital services group. The platform serves reporting entities obligated under Finnish anti-money laundering legislation — primarily financial institutions and other designated regulated businesses — by automating customer due diligence, KYC procedures, sanctions screening, and electronic identification. DOKS is structured as a three-module SaaS platform accessible via data.doks.fi: DOKS AML automates anti-money laundering law compliance including sanctions list monitoring, PEP database screening, electronic identification, and customer risk assessment; Pakoteseuranta provides continuous automated sanctions screening against official lists with immediate notifications; and the ESG Profile (Vastuullisuustiedot) module collects sustainability data from business partners using the EU's VSME (Voluntary SME Sustainability Reporting) standard. The platform reports an installed base of over 5,000 users, processes more than 10,000 electronic identifications and data requests per month, and performs approximately 8 million sanctions list checks per month.

The underlying technology integrates electronic identification (eID), PEP and sanctions database feeds, and ESG data collection into a single workflow platform. DOKS operates as part of Alma Insights' broader product portfolio alongside B2B sales intelligence, expert services, legal databases, real estate data, and financial sector information products, which provides cross-sell distribution within the Finnish business information ecosystem. Revenue is generated through subscription-based SaaS contracts with annual billing cadence; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is delivered through a contact-request sales motion, indicating quote-based, segmented pricing tailored to customer needs. Marketing and distribution run primarily through the almainsights.fi website, the data.doks.fi self-service portal, and Alma Media's existing B2B channels. Geographic scope is currently Finland-only, with no disclosed international expansion, partnerships, certifications, or external funding events.

• Encompass Corporation: Provider of automated KYC/KYB and regulatory onboarding solutions for financial institutions. Highly comparable to DOKS' AML and customer identification workflows, including corporate registry verification and beneficial ownership checks.
• Napier AI: AML and financial crime compliance technology platform offering transaction monitoring, KYC, and sanctions screening. Direct competitor to DOKS AML and Pakoteseuranta modules.
• Onfido: Identity verification and electronic KYC provider used by financial institutions for customer onboarding. Comparable to DOKS' electronic identification and customer risk assessment capabilities.
