Sanctions screening

World-Check sanctions-screening data contains comprehensive coverage of all known sanction bodies and includes 300+ sanction programmes.

• Access accurate data, quality data - our specialist research unit monitors major sanction lists 24/7, 365 days of the year. On an annual basis our sanctions processes undergo ISAE 3000 design-effectiveness certification.
• Significantly reduce your sanctions-screening workload, as our records are deduplicated - each subject has a unique record.  All information by the sanction issuers are available on that record, together with official sources for verification, reducing the number of records needing to be screened.
• Filter keyworded records easily and choose which records to screen against to match your own risk-based approach, policies, procedures and regulations for sanction compliance.
• Tackle the challenges of complying with narrative, implicit and sectoral sanctions when there is no finite sanctions list to follow. We have applied significant further qualitative research to uncover those entities and individuals who fall within the scope of these sanctions.

To fully understand your exposure to indirect sanctions you need to go one step further and uncover in-depth ownership structures of entities and/or ​the source of wealth of certain individuals.

• Get detailed insights and background checks on any business or entity with a range of due diligence reports.
• Designed to provide deep intelligence and tailored to your use-case and situation - whether you require quick, affordable data-driven reports that deliver essential information on more entities, or detailed integrity and advanced background on known high-risk customers, vendors or business interests.
• We leverage our unrivalled propriety and partner data, and global network of human expertise to provide deep insight that can help you pinpoint risk and provide protection from potential regulatory, reputational and financial damage.

Our Managed Services team can help you to stay on top of any profile changes and avoid backlogs with ongoing monitoring.

• This cost-effective solution will allow you to reduce false positives and identify changes in risk levels in the face of the rapidly changing sanctions landscape.
