Search an up-to-date database of the most inclusive government published watch lists available.

We continuously monitor global sources to ensure the latest published source lists are acquired and implemented to provide the most current, comprehensive and official sources available at all times.

Watch List and Sanction searches are also configurable by subsets to allow you to customize alongside existing background screening packages. This large compilation of records can also be searched by any combination of the sanctions, terrorism, crime, OFAC, financial, medical, and Sam. Gov / EPLS subsets.

This search provides access to the most current and inclusive government published PEP lists available and includes the history of persons of political interest dating as far back as the 1700s. Most financial institutions view a PEP as a potential compliance risk and perform enhanced monitoring of accounts that fall within this category. Official authorities maintain and update target data from over 1,000 sources with more than 3 million records.

A PEP is defined as:

• a current or former senior official in the executive, legislative, administrative, military, or judicial branch of a foreign government (elected or not)
• a senior official of a major foreign political party
• a senior executive of a foreign government-owned commercial enterprise, being a corporation, business or other entity formed by or for the benefit of any such individual
• an immediate family member of such individual (spouse, parents, siblings, children, and spouse’s parents or siblings)
• any individual publicly known (or actually known by the relevant financial institution) to be a close personal or professional associate

Search thousands of global news sources for articles of interest from breaking news, current events, and relevant media dating back to the early 1900s. Enhanced due diligence is available through the utilization of this search on a person or business entity. The Global Adverse Media search is based on a proprietary process that searches for data matches of thousands of adverse keyword strings to obtain results. These data extracts are 100% behavioral and are not based only on a subject’s name. This process exposes any subjects considered as a person of interest, but does not return unwarranted information. Only returning data of concern, it streamlines the adjudication process for the user. This functionality is many times more dynamic than the delimited data files obtained through similar solutions.
