How to Ensure Sanctions Compliance in Today’s Geopolitical Climate

Recent geopolitical developments have prompted the United States and other countries to expand economic sanctions, increasing the urgency for organizations to prevent dealings with sanctioned individuals, associated entities, and beneficially owned companies under OFAC’s 50% Rule. The sanctions landscape is described as rapidly evolving, with lists potentially extending beyond prominent figures to their contacts, enablers, and connected businesses, creating heightened regulatory, reputational, and operational risks. Organizations are advised to conduct immediate risk assessments, brief leadership, ensure onboarding screening is properly configured, and shift from periodic rescreening to at least daily or ideally continuous real-time monitoring as sanctions lists change. Socure promotes its Global Watchlist with Monitoring service as a tool for continuous sanctions screening across OFAC, SDN, FinCEN, global enforcement lists, politically exposed persons, and adverse media, and invites readers to a March 8, 2022 webinar about managing new sanctions-related risks.
