Case Study: DyStar achieves centralized global embargo screening and reputation protection with FICO Siron®KYC

Business Partner Due Diligence with Siron® KYC at DyStar

DyStar, a global supplier of textile colors and related chemicals with subsidiaries in more than 50 countries, needed a reliable way to centrally monitor person and organization embargoes (OFAC and EU) to protect its reputation and ensure legal compliance. Manual, local weekly matching of business contacts was unsustainable given the company’s international scope and regulatory risk.

DyStar implemented FICO TONBELLER’s Siron®KYC integrated with SAP BW to automate worldwide embargo screening, using exact and fuzzy matching, positive/white lists, and an audit‑proof history. The solution minimized manual effort and false positives, improved data consistency and usability, and enabled the Cologne compliance team to centrally manage controls and support the company’s international expansion.
