Entities in Strise are dynamic — all data and relationships can be updated as new information becomes available.
You can edit existing data, delete them entirely, or add new information to an entity.
All changes are automatically reflected across Strise:
Your team members will see the updates immediately.
The entity page, completed reviews, and generated PDF reports are all updated in real time.
💡Whenever you modify data, Strise also updates its connected processes. Eg:
All new companies and people added to an entity are automatically screened against sanctions lists.
If you change an entity’s jurisdiction to one considered high-risk in your settings, the entity will be re-evaluated accordingly.
New beneficial owners are automatically checked for PEP (Politically Exposed Person) status. </aside>
Each edit is attributed to the user who made it, so your team can always see who changed what and when.
If you don’t need to make structural edits but still want to leave context, you can now add comments directly on ownership details — a quick way to communicate key information right where it’s most relevant.
💡Note: Strise always keeps the original version of any data field. As a user, you have peace of mind knowing that there’s always an original copy.
Editing Beneficial Owners

Adding New Beneficial Owners
You can add beneficial owners either without ownership or with ownership.

With ownership:
In the Ownership Chart, enter edit mode, add or edit an owner, and toggle “Is beneficial owner” on before saving.
Editing Beneficial Owner Status of Existing Owners
You can update an entity’s beneficial owner status directly from either the list view or the ownership chart.
Locate the entity you want to edit — in the list or the ownership chart.
Click the pencil icon (in the list) or open edit mode using the pencil icon in the top-right corner of the chart.
In the side panel, toggle “Is beneficial owner” on or off.
Click Save to confirm the change.
Editing Beneficial Owner Status of Indirect Owners
When an entity owns the root company through one or more subsidiaries, you can choose how the beneficial owner status applies:
Beneficial owner of the root company: The entity is marked as a beneficial owner only for the root company.
Beneficial owner of the first direct subsidiary: The entity is marked as a beneficial owner of the subsidiary, and this relationship will appear in that subsidiary’s entity page and other ownership relations linked to it.
