The scoring

How the score works

10 questions, 4 options each (0–3 points), 30 possible total. Add them up, find your tier, get your playbook. Easy.

  1. At Risk

    0–9

    Minimal screening, no systematic monitoring, ad hoc SAR handling.

  2. Developing

    10–17

    Screening at onboarding, but cadence, monitoring and alert handling have gaps.

  3. Solid

    18–24

    Automated screening and monitoring; false positives are the main cost.

  4. Best-in-Class

    25–30

    Continuous, tuned, audit-ready AML operations.

FAQ

Common questions

What is the AML & Sanctions Readiness Score?
An AML readiness assessment is a structured scoring of how mature your anti-money-laundering programme is across sanctions screening, PEP and adverse-media coverage, transaction monitoring, alert handling and SAR-readiness. Zyphe's free 10-question assessment scores you out of 30 and places you in one of four tiers - At Risk, Developing, Solid, or Best-in-Class - with tier-specific next steps.
How does the score work?
Each of the 10 questions has four answer options worth 0, 1, 2 or 3 points. The maximum total is 30. Scores are mapped to one of four tiers - At Risk (0-9), Developing (10-17), Solid (18-24), Best-in-Class (25-30) - each with concrete next steps.
