Industry Classification

Middesk's Industry Classification (IC) product is an enterprise-grade, scalable solution for discovering what every business makes and sells. With a single request, Industry Classification can retrieve the web presence of a business entity, extract and analyze its content, and determine the industry of the business.

On top of flagging businesses operating in prohibited/risky industries, Middesk's Industry Classification provides full coverage across all of North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes at the 6-digit level, the equivalent Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes, and all Merchant Category Codes (MCC).

Product Flow

Different classifications may be returned depending on the account configuration. Industry Classifications are no longer dependent upon a website URL being provided through Middesk Dashboard or Business API.

If the account is configured to receive only Prohibited classifications, the customer will receive only Prohibited classifications when found.

By default an account will be configured to receive both Prohibited and Hierarchical (NAICS, SIC, MCC) classifications when found.
