Operational challenges
A risk management system demands consistency
SARLAFT and SAGRILAFT ask for documented criteria, not isolated checks each analyst stores their own way.
The risk profile goes stale
Initial segmentation loses accuracy once new signals appear after the client is onboarded.
Reports need backing
Without dates, results and history, supporting a decision before internal audit takes longer than it should.
One place for compliance
Turn onboarding into a repeatable process
Configure due diligence around your risk segmentation and keep the final call with the compliance officer.
Verify people and companies
Run KYC and KYB flows, capture documents and confirm identity with liveness during onboarding.
Review PEP, sanctions and adverse media
Check international lists and negative news from the same case, with the detail behind every match.
Monitor the onboarded portfolio
Re-run screenings periodically to catch risk changes after the initial relationship is established.
Keep the evidence
Centralize results, reviews and decisions with date and owner for audits and internal control.

Frequently asked questions
KYC and AML in Colombia
- What is the difference between SARLAFT and SAGRILAFT?
- SARLAFT applies to entities supervised by the financial superintendency; SAGRILAFT is the self-control regime for real-sector companies overseen by the corporate superintendency.
- What does onboarding due diligence require?
- Identifying and knowing the client and their beneficial owner, understanding the source of funds and segmenting risk with documented criteria.
- Does the platform cover PEP and sanctions lists?
- Yes. Screening checks politically exposed person and sanctions lists, and shows the detail behind each match.
- Does it support transaction monitoring?
- The platform covers risk-profile monitoring through periodic re-screening. Transaction monitoring depends on the systems where the operations actually happen.
- Does it work as audit support?
- It keeps evidence of each control with date, result and owner. Whether the support is sufficient is for each entity to determine with professional advice.
- Does Legal Talent guarantee regulatory compliance?
- No. The platform provides operational tooling; each entity must define and validate its own duties and controls.
