Outsourced AML Officer (AML Governance as a Service)
For many regulated and compliance-driven businesses, maintaining an effective AML program is mandatory – but hiring and retaining a full-time AML Officer can be expensive and operationally heavy. SafeData Outsourced AML Officer gives you access to an experienced AML professional who can support your organization on an outsourced basis, helping you meet governance expectations while controlling cost.
This service is designed for companies that want practical, real-world AML leadership – without building a large internal compliance function from day one.
Why outsource an AML Officer?
An in-house AML Officer often requires:
- senior-level salary and long-term commitment
- continuous training and regulatory awareness
- time-consuming policy maintenance and reporting
- coordination across operations, onboarding, and management
Outsourcing allows you to reduce fixed costs, scale support based on your needs, and still maintain strong AML oversight and documentation.
What the outsourced AML Officer can cover
Depending on your scope and regulatory environment, SafeData’s AML Officer can support core AML governance activities such as:
- AML program oversight and risk-based approach implementation
- Policies, procedures, and internal controls (creation, review, updates)
- Customer due diligence (CDD/EDD) guidance and escalation decision support
- Sanctions/PEP/adverse media process alignment and control design
- Internal reporting, documentation, and audit readiness
- Staff guidance and operational support for day-to-day compliance questions
- Periodic reviews to keep your AML framework current as your business evolves
The goal is simple: keep your AML program consistent, defensible, and workable in real operations.
A practical model: expert oversight + SafeData tooling
Outsourcing works best when expert oversight is combined with structured workflows. SafeData helps you centralize onboarding, screening, KYB, adverse media, reporting, and communication – so the AML Officer’s work is easier to document and your compliance process remains traceable.

- startups and growing companies that need AML leadership without a full-time hire
