Global Risk Screening with Compliance for Good™

Ongoing List Refresh

Watchlists are refreshed on a defined cadence to capture new sanctions, removals, and status changes. Update handling reduces reliance on static lists and helps programs maintain consistent screening posture over time. Documentation supports compliance teams during audits and regulator inquiries.

Match Verification

Potential matches are reviewed using identity signals to prevent misattribution across similar names or entities. Verified outcomes are separated from potential matches to reduce unnecessary escalations. Reports document match handling steps for defensible decisions.

Secure Handling and Access Controls

Access controls limit watchlist results to authorized reviewers and defined programs. Data handling practices support retention requirements and reduce unnecessary exposure of sensitive screening outputs. Documentation supports privacy reviews and compliance oversight.
