🔍 Purpose
The platform screens your suppliers against OpenSanctions, a database consolidating over 80 government and institutional watchlists into a single searchable source. Coverage includes formal sanctions programmes from OFAC, the EU, the UK, and the UN Security Council; PEP registries drawn from national parliament records; INTERPOL and FBI watchlists; and procurement debarment lists from the World Bank and Asian Development Bank.
The purpose is to support procurement compliance and modern slavery reporting by giving your organisation a documented record that its suppliers have been checked - without needing to source or manage any lists directly.
🛠️ Prerequisites
Before running a screening, confirm that the organisation profile has the correct name, country, and business identifier recorded. The platform uses these details to improve match accuracy.
The platform checks each supplier name against the full OpenSanctions dataset. Generic legal suffixes such as "Pty Ltd" or "Inc" are stripped automatically before querying. If an ABN or other business identifier is included in your supplier list, it will be used in the query and carries more weight than a name match alone.
📝 Step-by-Step Guide
Navigate to the Organisation Profile screen and select the Sanctions tab to view results.
Review your results by confidence tier:
Confirmed hits have scored above the confirmation threshold and are flagged automatically.
Possible matches fall in the mid-range and are queued for human review.
Low-scoring results are discarded and do not appear.
For each confirmed hit or possible match, either dismiss it as a false positive or escalate it as a genuine match. Your decision is recorded and will carry over to any future re-screening of the same supplier.
