Configuring Moody's Analytics Orbis

This is the default behavior for a variant of the Company data check with Moody's Analytics Orbis as the data provider.

This check is performed by sending the company's name, country of incorporation, and company number or Bureau van Dijk Orbis ID number, also known as the bvd_id, to Moody's Analytics and requesting a report.

The check passes when all of the following are true:

When the check passes, the basic company information is imported into the check results. The company information imported into Passfort is displayed differently for each task. See the description of the Company data check for more information. If multiple results are discovered for the same company, they're ordered by the best match for the name, as determined by Moody's Analytics Orbis.

Additionally, when the check passes, a link called Source data is displayed which takes you to the company results in Moody's Analytics Orbis. You'll need to log in with your Moody's Analytics Orbis username and password to view the results.

The check returns a partial match when the company name is found in the registry but one of the following is true:

When the check returns a partial match, the basic company information and Source data link are displayed.

The check fails if the company name or company number can't be found.

An error is displayed when the company's country of incorporation isn't covered by your Moody's Analytics agreement.

Contact your Moody's Analytics account manager to learn what countries your agreement covers.

This check cannot be used to monitor financial data.

When the results are displayed on the Verify company details task, the Nature of business shows any of the following codes that apply: SIC (US SIC), NACE (NACE Rev. 2) and/or NAICS (NAICS 2017). Note that the UK SIC code is not displayed. Moody's Analytics maps the NACE code into the UK SIC code and recommends using NACE because it has international coverage.

When you search for a company during the profile creation process, the search results are retrieved using the Company data check, if you have one set up. If you don't have a Company data check set up, the Company registry check can be used instead.

In Moody's Analytics Orbis registry data, associates are organized into categories and subcategories. Passfort uses these categories to filter associates and return those that are relevant.

Associates displayed in the Identify officers task are taken from the following subcategories under Boards and Committees:

The Assess company ownership task assigns associates with the roles provided by Moody's Analytics Orbis, using the following custom rules:

You can use the following configuration option:

This check is used on the Assess company ownership, Assess financials, Identify officers, and Identify shareholders tasks, which include configuration options to control how the officers and shareholders returned by Moody's Analytics Orbis are verified. Learn more about task configuration options.

Let us know that you'd like to add a variant of the Company data check with Moody's Analytics Orbis and we'll set it up.

We'll also need your Moody's Analytics Orbis secret key. For help getting your secret key, please speak to your Moody's Analytics Orbis account manager.

Additionally, we recommend that you contact your Moody's Analytics Orbis account manager and request that they raise the number of concurrent sessions that can be used by your account to 25 sessions. This enables search to work properly in Passfort, meaning that when you create a new profile via the Passfort portal, you can find companies by typing a company name or number into the search box provided.

If the number of concurrent sessions is not raised, you may see an error message when you type the company name or number into the search box that's displayed when you create a new profile via the Passfort portal. You will still be able to find a company by pasting a full name or number into the search box. Ongoing monitoring is tied to your Moody's Analytics Orbis account. If you switch accounts, ongoing monitoring for existing profiles will be stopped because the connection between Passfort and your Moody's Analytics Orbis account will be broken. To restart ongoing monitoring, re-run the Company data check on your profiles.

We're currently building the tests for this variant.

These are the profile details searched in the Moody's Analytics Orbis sources:

If you use the Moody's Analytics Orbis (monitored) data provider integration option for a Company data check, Orbis sends updates to Passfort of monitored company data on a weekly basis.

The following data is monitored:

When a change to this data is discovered for a company profile, a new task version is created for any of the profile's tasks that include the monitored Company data check. A banner notification is displayed on each of the new task versions. The old task versions expire.

Your smart policy determines what checks are performed when the new task versions are created:

Any new associates discovered through the monitored Company data check are added to the profile's verification list if the relevant tasks are configured for automatic addition. Associates aren't removed from the verification list automatically.

You can view the previous check data by looking at the check history on the expired task version. A banner notification is displayed to tell you when the task version expired. Select View current task version to return to the current results.
