Silbad's products sit at the intersection of finance, law, security engineering and AI. Decision-makers, practitioners and interested members of the public arrive with very different starting points — and sometimes with partial or outdated information about the same terms. This Knowledge Base is the short, neutral, professionally accurate ground that every Silbad page can link back to.
Each entry is intentionally brief — the goal is to bring readers up to speed quickly, not to substitute for the regulatory texts or the ISO documents themselves. Authoritative source links are at the bottom of every entry.
The terms that name the problem space and the methods we work with.
The legal frame within which European financial-defence work is actually carried out — and that Silbad's products are built to satisfy by design.
The intergovernmental bodies whose standards anchor the EU AML/CFT framework and the wider global financial-crime regime.
Non-EU national rules and supervisors that are not legally binding on EU institutions but that any holistic financial-defence team encounters in practice — through correspondent relationships, USD or GBP clearing, listed-issuer status, or cross-border investigations.
The international standards that anchor information security, privacy management and financial messaging.
Marengo's second core capability and the optional supervisory modules that extend the Marengo platform beyond the SFMA core.
Knowledge Base entries are working summaries, not legal advice. The authoritative reading of any rule remains in the official EU, national or ISO document — and, where uncertainty bears on a real decision, in advice from qualified counsel.
