Service Overview

A screening of the candidate against global watchlists, sanctions lists, and databases of politically exposed persons (PEPs).

What's checked?

Whether the candidate appears on international sanctions lists, PEP databases, or watchlists linked to criminal or terrorist activity. A PEP is someone who holds, or has held, a prominent public position, along with their close associates and family members, a status that can carry added financial or reputational risk.

How does it work?

The candidate's identifying information is checked against continuously updated global databases covering sanctions, watchlists, and PEP status. A match is flagged for review rather than treated as automatic disqualification, since common names can produce false positives that require confirmation.

When to use it?

Built for roles involving financial transactions, regulatory compliance, or elevated risk exposure, where confirming a candidate has no ties to sanctioned entities or watchlisted activity is part of due diligence.
