CapabilityRisk & Compliance

Screen against sanctions, PEP and adverse media.

Point-in-time screening and follow-up may support onboarding and ongoing review. Available lists, sources and monitoring frequency depend on the agreed scope.

  • Financial services and fintech
  • Compliance and MLRO teams
  • High-trust marketplaces
  • Any team under AML / KYC obligations

What it does

Right-sized list coverage

Coverage may include sanctions, politically exposed persons, adverse media or watchlists. Confirm the relevant jurisdictions, sources and update frequency for the service scope.

Context, not just a hit

A possible match should be reviewed in context and distinguished from a confirmed finding before a decision is made.

Ongoing monitoring

Re-screening or monitoring may be configured where supported. Frequency and coverage depend on the selected sources and service scope.

Defensible audit trail

Record the sources used and the resolution where this information is available for the requested check.

What this verifies

Evidence held together under one defensible record.

  • Global sanctions (OFAC, UN, EU, UK)
  • Local sanctions and watchlists
  • Politically exposed persons (PEP)
  • Adverse media
  • Ongoing monitoring
  • Ultimate beneficial ownership screening

How it works

  1. Step 01

    Purpose and subject defined

    Identify the subject, state the purpose and establish applicable consent or other authority for any individual checks.

  2. Step 02

    Point-in-time screen

    Run the agreed screen against the sources available for the requested scope and return possible matches for review.

  3. Step 03

    Resolution

    Possible matches can be reviewed against available identifiers and context. Unresolved or inconclusive items should remain distinct from confirmed matches.

  4. Step 04

    Configure follow-up where available

    Where monitoring is supported and configured, define the source coverage and review frequency.

Results and exceptions

What you receive

Depending on the agreed scope, the verification record may include request status, check-level findings and available supporting evidence in a report or other decision-ready output.

When evidence needs attention

Mismatches, incomplete information or unavailable sources may require clarification or review. An unresolved item should be distinguished from a confirmed result.

Access and delivery

The available route depends on the solution, request scope and agreed operating model.

FAQ

Risk & Compliance: frequently asked questions

Coverage varies by jurisdiction and service scope. Ask Datapoint which sanctions, PEP, adverse-media or watchlist sources and update methods are available for your use case.

Re-screening or monitoring may be configured where the relevant sources support it. Confirm coverage, frequency and alert behaviour for the agreed scope.

Business, director or beneficial-ownership screening may be combined where relevant, subject to source availability and applicable authority for individual checks.

Compare possible matches with available identifiers and context. If a result cannot be resolved, record it as unresolved rather than treating it as a confirmed match or no-match.
