Frequently Asked Questions

Which sanctions lists does the compliance screening tool cover?

Compliance Screening checks OFAC (US), EU Consolidated Sanctions List, UN Security Council Sanctions, UK OFSI, SECO (Switzerland), and additional national lists. Coverage spans 200+ jurisdictions and includes both primary and secondary sanctions designations.

How does the tool handle name variations and transliterations in sanctions screening?

The screening engine applies fuzzy matching to catch common name variations, transliterations from Arabic, Cyrillic, and Chinese scripts, and known aliases. Each match is returned with a confidence score so you can assess whether a hit is a true match or a false positive.

Can I use the company lookup tool for non-UK jurisdictions?

Company Lookup covers the UK (Companies House), US (SEC EDGAR and state registries), and major EU jurisdictions through the European Business Registry Association. For offshore jurisdictions like BVI, Cayman Islands, and Panama, information is limited to what has been publicly filed.

How current is adverse media from the news tool?

The News tool searches current news sources in real time. For historical adverse media going back several years, Deep Research combines live news with archived web content and legal databases. For the most comprehensive adverse media, run both tools and combine results.

Can the phishing email checker confirm a BEC attack with certainty?

Phishing Email Checker provides strong indicators — domain registration age, authentication failures, known malicious patterns — but cannot make a definitive legal determination. Treat the analysis as investigative evidence to support your professional judgment, and always involve IT security and legal counsel before taking action.
