Global Sanctions & Compliance Screening.

Hiring someone who appears on sanctions lists, watchlists, or regulatory databases exposes employers to massive legal, financial, and reputational risk.

Ensure total compliance before any hiring decision is made.

Get Started

1. What We Verify

We screen candidates against global databases to identify security, regulatory, or integrity risks.

Global sanctions lists (OFAC, UN, EU, UK HMT)

Politically Exposed Persons (PEP) databases

Global watchlists

Anti-Money Laundering (AML) lists

Counter-terrorism and national security lists

Law enforcement and regulatory databases

Criminal network and fraud intelligence sources

Adverse media coverage (negative news)

Identity flags and cross-border risk indicators

This screening provides a complete compliance overview for employers operating locally or globally.

2. How Sanctions & Compliance Screening Works

We combine identity verification, sanctions intelligence, and global data sources to deliver accurate, up-to-date results.

2.1 Identity Confirmation Before Screening

We verify the candidate's identity to ensure the sanctions results correspond to the correct individual, using:

Name and alias matching
Date of birth
Address history
Document verification

This prevents false matches or misidentification.

2.2 Global Sanctions Database Search

We screen candidates across numerous international databases, including:

OFAC (U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control)
EU Consolidated Sanctions List
UN Security Council Sanctions List
UK HMT Sanctions List
Global PEP directories
International watchlists
National regulatory and law enforcement lists

Results are updated continuously to ensure real-time accuracy.

2.3 Politically Exposed Person (PEP) Screening

We identify whether the candidate is a:

Current or former political figure
Immediate family member of a political figure
Close associate of political leadership

PEPs require elevated due diligence due to corruption and bribery risk.

2.4 Adverse Media & Reputation Monitoring

We analyse global media sources for:

Fraud allegations
Financial crime involvement
Corruption links
Civil or criminal accusations
Regulatory violations
Ethical or reputational concerns

This identifies risks not captured in official databases.

2.5 International Credit Checks (Optional)

If candidates have lived abroad, we conduct equivalent checks using:

Local credit bureaus
Government insolvency records
International financial registries
