Sigma360 and Rippling Partner to Modernize Sanctions Screening for High-Growth Workforces

The collaboration brings Sigma360’s real-time, AI-driven sanctions screening to Rippling’s AI-native HR, IT, and Finance platform, helping compliance teams focus on the risks that matter most

Sigma360, the AI-powered risk intelligence platform for financial crime prevention and compliance, announced a strategic partnership with Rippling, the modern intelligence system for running HR, IT, and Finance, to bring enterprise-grade sanctions screening and risk monitoring into Rippling’s global payments infrastructure.

The partnership unites Sigma360’s real-time screening, advanced entity resolution, and continuous monitoring  with Rippling’s AI-native workforce platform to deliver faster, more accurate financial crime controls at scale. Sigma360 now powers screening and monitoring for Rippling’s transactions, helping reduce false positives while improving the quality and actionability of high-risk alerts.

“Sanctions risk is not a neat, box-checking exercise. It’s a highly-dynamic problem that requires speed, signal and trusted delivery to solve,” said Stuart Jones Jr., Founder and CEO of Sigma360. “Rippling moves quickly, and its customers expect their controls to keep up. By building our data, core tech and AI risk tools directly into Rippling’s AI-native platform, we help them sort issues faster, spot problems earlier, and show regulators that rapid growth and strong protections against financial crime can go hand-in-hand.”

Sigma360’s platform consolidates sanctions and watchlist screening, adverse media, and risk monitoring into a single enterprise-grade system, enabling organizations to move from periodic reviews to continuous, real-time risk assessment. The platform leverages advanced entity resolution, global data coverage, and AI-driven analytics to reduce false positives, prioritize high-risk alerts, and deliver explainable, auditable decisions that support regulatory compliance.

For Rippling, the implementation delivered a structural upgrade to its financial crime architecture. Together, Rippling and Sigma360 designed a program that combined advanced matching, configurable controls, and close coordination between Sigma360’s client and partner solutions team and Rippling’s risk, engineering, and compliance leaders. The result is a screening and monitoring environment that maintains strong performance while significantly reducing the investigative workload created by low-quality alerts.

“When you’re scaling globally, your compliance infrastructure has to scale with you,” said JT DeNicola, Global Head of Sanctions at Rippling. “We needed more than a vendor. We needed a trusted partner that could work side-by-side with our teams, understand our unique challenges, and help us build for the future. Behind that partnership was a powerful, full-stack risk intelligence platform designed to support far more than sanctions screening.

Sigma360 brings unique risk intelligence data that isn’t available through traditional screening providers, advanced AI capabilities, along with broader risk intelligence solutions that help us manage risk more proactively as we continue to scale globally. The result is a sanctions program that’s faster, more accurate, data-driven and built for where Rippling is going.”

The modernization of Rippling’s sanctions screening and financial crime controls was completed over a nine-month period, from initial vendor selection through full retirement of the legacy system and go-live with Sigma360. Beyond the immediate implementation, Sigma360 and Rippling plan to collaborate on continued innovation around AI-driven risk intelligence, including expanded use of advanced adverse media, geographic risk modeling, and transaction-level analytics. By integrating Sigma360’s AI Investigator and risk intelligence capabilities deeper into Rippling’s workflows, the companies aim to further accelerate alert triage, strengthen global coverage, and support new products and services as Rippling grows.
