The Unified Risk Taxonomy & Data Model
One risk taxonomy across trade surveillance, communication surveillance and conflict of interest — built on the Behavox Financial Data Model, so every risk, situation and control speaks the same language.
One taxonomy, three products
A single, consistent view of risk across your organisation
Conflict of interest, trade surveillance and communication surveillance have traditionally lived in separate systems, each with its own definitions, scoring and language. The Behavox Unified Risk Taxonomy brings them together into one coherent model — every risk, situation and control mapped to a shared schema.
That means consistent coverage, no blind spots between products, and a common vocabulary your compliance, risk and data teams can all rely on.
Built on the Behavox Financial Data Model
The Behavox Financial Data Model (BFDM) is the common data foundation beneath the taxonomy — normalising trades, communications and reference data across 10 asset classes.
- One schema spanning all three products
- Multi-asset coverage — equities to digital assets
- Risks, situations and controls fully cross-referenced
Layered defence
Three products, one risk language
Preventive and detective controls working in concert — unified under a single taxonomy.
Prevent
Identifies and manages conflicts of interest before they turn into misconduct — institutional and personal CoI across the firm.
Detect on trades
Surfaces market abuse and trading misconduct across 10 asset classes — from manipulation to insider dealing.
Detect in communications
Surfaces risk across voice, chat and email — covering the full range of risk categories, including market abuse, price manipulation, information disclosure and conduct.
Why a unified taxonomy
Coverage you can prove, in language everyone shares
No blind spots
Risks map cleanly across prevention and detection, so nothing falls between products or definitions.
One shared schema
Every risk, situation and control follows the same backward-compatible data model — consistent and auditable.
Built for global teams
Support across a wide range of global languages, asset classes and jurisdictions — with risk mapped to the regulations that apply in each market.
