Introducing: SESAMm MCP Server

July 28, 2026
5 mins read

We are excited to announce the SESAMm MCP Server, a new integration that brings SESAMm's ESG controversy data directly into your preferred AI assistant. You can now get answers on a company's ESG risk without leaving the AI assistant: no switching platforms, no extra logins, just one workflow.

The MCP server is built on the Model Context Protocol, an open standard originally developed by Anthropic and now supported by all major AI assistants. Setup takes less than five minutes.

Ask Your Portfolio Anything

The SESAMm MCP Server gives your AI assistant direct access to SESAMm data. From there, the AI can retrieve the right information and synthesize it into a clear, contextualized answer, not just hand back raw data. Ask about a company's top controversies over the last 12 months, compare CES scores across a shortlist, or run a UNGC screen on a portfolio: the assistant handles everything and returns a contextualized, source-linked answer in seconds. Every result traces back to the underlying SESAMm cases and documents, so you can verify the output.

Standardized  Reports Made Easy

Once you have a workflow that delivers the output you need, you can save it as a Skill, whether that's a standardized ESG summary, a deal-ready risk table, or a customized controversy brief. It's a fast, easy way to customize reports and standardize workflows across your team.

For example, if your Sustainability team builds a customized ESG report, they can save it as a Skill and share it internally with the rest of their organization. From there, every colleague on your organization's SESAMm MCP, whether they sit in Sustainability, Credit, or Deal teams, runs the exact same report, in the exact same format.

Key Benefits of the SESAMm MCP Server

  • Standardized, shareable reports and processes: Save any query as a Skill and share it with the team. Everyone runs the same trusted process, in the same format, every time.
  • Portfolio screening at conversational speed: Rank an entire portfolio by peak CES, flag UNGC violations, and surface high-risk names, all from one query and with no manual aggregation.
  • ESG answers without leaving your workflow: Query any company's controversies, CES score, or UNGC status directly from your AI assistant and get a clear, contextualized answer in seconds, with no platform login required.

Following the success of SESAMm’s AI-Powered Deal Screening Reports, we’re expanding our due diligence suite with a new addition: the AI-Powered Legal Risk Report. Built for private equity, M&A, and legal teams, it delivers a rapid, data-driven view of a company’s litigation, regulatory, reputational exposure and all public compliance documentation and disclosures, helping professionals identify red flags early and make faster, more informed decisions.

Accelerating Legal Due Diligence

In private equity transactions, time is limited but the stakes are high. Traditional legal research can take weeks of reviewing court filings, disclosures, and media coverage. SESAMm’s Legal Risk Report automates this process, scanning millions of documents to surface potential risks in less than an hour.

Each report is generated automatically in less than 15 minutes and backed by verifiable sources, giving legal and compliance teams the transparency they need to validate findings and support defensible due diligence.

The Legal Risk Report helps professionals accelerate and strengthen their assessments at every stage of a transaction:

  • Reduce blind spots: Uncover litigation, compliance, or reputational issues that manual research might miss.
  • Strengthen documentation: Support client memos and audit findings with verifiable, AI-extracted evidence.
  • Reduce costs and time: Cut research hours while maintaining defensible, high-quality standards.

SESAMm’s technology is trusted by leading financial institutions to enhance their understanding of ESG, reputational, and regulatory risks. The new Legal Risk Report builds on this foundation, extending SESAMm’s AI capabilities to help law firms, compliance officers, and corporate legal teams uncover litigation and reputational exposures with speed and transparency.

A Growing Suite of AI Reports

These new Legal Risk reports are the latest addition to SESAMm’s expanding portfolio of AI-generated reports. Other reports include ESG assessments, supply chain screening, secondaries screening, and deal screening.

By combining AI-powered text analysis with structured risk categorization, SESAMm enables professionals to go from question to insight  - and from risk to response - faster than ever.

SESAMm is pleased to announce that Nathalie Wallace is joining our Advisory Board. Nathalie brings more than 20 years of experience at the intersection of investment management, sustainability strategy, and executive leadership. She has built a career helping global investment organizations integrate sustainability into investment decision-making and capital allocation.

Commenting on the appointment, Sylvain Forté, CEO of SESAMm, said, “Nathalie brings a rare combination of investment experience, strategic vision, and deep understanding of how sustainability considerations translate into real-world investment decisions. Her perspective will be invaluable as SESAMm continues to support financial institutions navigating increasingly complex risk and regulatory environments.”

She previously served as Chief Sustainability Officer at Edmond de Rothschild, where she contributed to the firm’s sustainability strategy across asset classes. Prior to that, Nathalie was Global Head of Sustainable Investment at Natixis Investment Managers, where she was a member of the executive, investment, and seed committees, chaired the CSR–Sustainable Investment committee, and served on the boards of Mirova and Ostrum Asset Management. Earlier in her career, she was Global Head of Strategy and Business Development at Mirova, supporting its growth and positioning as a leading sustainable investment platform.

As Senior Advisor to SESAMm, Nathalie will support the company’s strategic direction, bringing her perspective on sustainable finance, investor expectations, and the evolving role of data and AI in risk analysis and investment processes.

“SESAMm’s approach to risk and sustainability intelligence reflects how investment teams are evolving their processes,” said Nathalie Wallace. “I’m excited to contribute my perspective as the firm continues to support investors with timely, decision-relevant insights.”

We are delighted to welcome Nathalie to SESAMm and look forward to working together as we continue to support financial institutions with forward-looking risk and sustainability insights.

New partnership equips customers with real-time intelligence from over 4 million sources to strengthen due diligence and monitoring across global supply chains

WASHINGTON, D.C. – September 26, 2025 – Sayari, a leader in corporate risk intelligence and supply chain transparency, today announced a new data partnership with SESAMm, a global provider of AI-driven controversy risk data. This collaboration integrates SESAMm’s real-time, AI-driven controversy risk data into the Sayari platform, providing users with unprecedented insights into hidden ESG risks across global supply chains. By combining our unique datasets, we are closing the information gap on hard-to-assess private entities and their suppliers, a critical blind spot in traditional ESG and supply chain monitoring.

The partnership directly addresses the growing need for procurement and risk teams to have comprehensive insight into emerging reputational risks as global ESG compliance requirements intensify. By integrating SESAMm’s data, Sayari's solution now monitors over 650,000 suppliers, allowing customers to proactively identify and mitigate risks from small, hard-to-assess private entities that are typically excluded from traditional ESG coverage.

The data partnership is powered by SESAMm’s advanced AI, which analyzes content from over 4 million sources in more than 100 languages. This real-time analysis provides actionable decision intelligence that can detect red flags like human rights violations, environmental scandals, and governance failures, often days or even weeks before they surface in traditional data sets, transforming reactive risk management into strategic foresight. This powerful analysis offers a unique advantage, complementing traditional ESG metrics and strengthening due diligence and ongoing monitoring efforts. The data is available across all of Sayari's platforms, including API, bulk, and visually in both Sayari Graph and Sayari Map.

“For the first time, our customers can gain a truly holistic, interconnected view of every entity in their ecosystem, from tier-1 suppliers to hidden sub-tier partners,” said Chris Brazdziunas, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Sayari. “By integrating SESAMm's real-time, AI-driven insights, we're empowering our clients to proactively identify and mitigate hidden risks on a global scale, fundamentally changing the way they approach due diligence and supply chain transparency.”

“For more than a decade, we’ve advanced AI to reveal hidden ESG and reputational risks in companies worldwide. We’re excited to partner with Sayari to bring these insights into procurement and supply chain risk management, enabling teams to detect issues earlier and address them more effectively,” said Sylvain Forté, CEO and co-founder of SESAMm.

The future of risk management demands a holistic, interconnected view of every entity within an organization's ecosystem. This partnership, powered by AI-driven analysis of more than 4 million sources, lays the foundation for a comprehensive, integrated risk management solution that will revolutionize the quality, efficiency, speed, and scale at which organizations can identify and manage third-party risk. The ability to transform deep analysis into strategic foresight is the key to empowering customers to act with confidence in an increasingly complex global economy.
