# Business Risk

> Manage business risk across compliance, fraud, credit, and operations with Sardine's Business Risk OS.

Business risk in financial services refers to the potential financial loss or exposure a financial institution or payment processor faces due to the actions or failures of a business. This includes risks such as fraud (for example, using stolen cards or submitting fake transactions), chargebacks (when customers dispute and reverse charges), insolvency (where a business is unable to fulfill orders or refund payments), and non-compliance with legal or regulatory requirements. Effectively managing business risk involves robust onboarding, continuous monitoring, and using data-driven models to detect and mitigate anomalies.

There are many types of business risk, the key types that Sardine covers are:

* **Compliance Risk:** Legal/regulatory violations.
* **Third Party Fraud:** Accounts based on stolen/synthetic identity.
* **First Party Fraud:** Valid ID used with intent to defraud.
* **Credit Risk:** Business insolvency or bankruptcy.
* **Reputational Risk:** Association with illegal activities.
* **Operational Risk:** Poor business practices or technical failures.
