Monitoring
Ownership monitoring
A company's status can stay 'active' while its ownership structure changes entirely underneath it. Ownership monitoring watches the structure directly, not just the entity's headline status.
Definition
Ownership monitoring - Re-resolving a company's shareholding graph on a recurring basis and comparing it to what was last recorded - narrower than company monitoring, which also covers filings and status; broader than UBO monitoring, which is concerned specifically with who clears the beneficial-owner threshold.
Why ownership can change invisibly
A share transfer between two existing shareholders, a new holding company inserted between a company and its ultimate owner, a shift in percentage that doesn't change who's involved but does change who controls what - none of these necessarily produce a headline-level event like a status change or a flagged filing. Ownership monitoring means specifically re-resolving the shareholding graph, not inferring a change from other signals.
Where this sits relative to the other monitoring terms
Company monitoring is the broadest scope - everything about the entity. Ownership monitoring narrows that to the shareholding graph specifically. UBO monitoring narrows further still, to whether the specific set of people who clear the beneficial-owner threshold has changed - a smaller, more compliance-relevant question than tracking every shift in the underlying graph.
How it's actually detected
Keizu re-runs the same resolution engine described in how Keizu determines a UBO against fresh register data, and compares the new result to what was last recorded. See how Keizu monitors for change for exactly how that comparison is structured and what counts as a recorded change.
