The Cost of Non-Compliance
Sanctions violations carry
severe consequences

Regulators worldwide impose heavy penalties for sanctions breaches — even when no harm was intended.

$968M

Financial penalties

OFAC's settlement with Binance in November 2023, for apparent sanctions violations. Smaller firms regularly face penalties in the tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Criminal liability

Personal & criminal risk

Wilful violations can lead to criminal prosecution of the individuals responsible, not only the business.

Reputational damage

Loss of banking & trust

Banks may freeze accounts or terminate relationships upon detecting sanctions exposure. Clients, partners and regulators may permanently withdraw trust.

⚠ Strict Liability Regime

A civil penalty does not need intent

The US (OFAC) and, since June 2022, the UK (OFSI) can impose civil penalties for a sanctions breach even when the business did not know or intend it.

Regulators look for a documented screening process, an audit trail of the checks performed, and evidence of due diligence against current lists. A screening process is also what they weigh when deciding a penalty.

What regulators expect you to have:

  • A documented sanctions screening process
  • Regular checks against up-to-date sanctions lists
  • An audit trail of every screening decision
  • Evidence of due diligence at onboarding and ongoing
  • Coverage of all relevant sanctions jurisdictions
  • A process for handling potential matches

Your data
What happens to what you screen

Plainly, so you can tell your own clients and auditors.

🖥️

Searches run in your browser

A name typed in the dashboard is matched on your own device. It is then sent to our server only to be written to your audit trail.

🗂️

Kept for your audit trail only

Searches, batch reports and monitored clients are stored so you can prove screening took place. Never sold, never shared, never used for anything else.
