One workflow for sanctions due diligence

Sanctions Checklist brings document extraction, screening, investigation, reporting and monitoring into one connected workflow. Teams screen counterparties against global sanctions, export-control and risk sources, then keep a record they can revisit when lists change.

1

Document extraction

Upload or paste text to extract people, organisations and countries mentioned in a document. Extraction can run locally in the browser so the document does not leave the device. Use the extracted names as the starting point for screening rather than retyping every party.

2

Sanctions screening

Screen individuals, organisations and countries across 26+ sanctions, export-control and risk sources in one query - or batch-screen a list of counterparties. See what sanctions screening is and which source types are involved.

3

Match investigation

When a result needs review, open the entity detail: official source data, identifiers, related context and enrichment that help you decide whether it is a match found, a false positive or something to escalate. Investigation here means reviewing screening matches - not mapping research networks.

4

Checklist Reports

Record match and no-match outcomes in a timestamped checklist. Add notes, arrangement context and research templates, then export PDF or CSV evidence for internal review, auditors or funding bodies. A no-match result still belongs in the record.

5

Ongoing monitoring

Enable alerts or watchlists so previously screened names are checked against list updates. When a status changes, you receive notice and can update the documented decision.

How the stages connect

Extract → Screen → Investigate → Document → Monitor is one due diligence path. You can start from a name search, a document or a batch list; the same checklist and monitoring tools sit at the end of the workflow. For the practical sequence of a check, use the step-by-step screening guide.

Who it is for

Research institutions, exporters and cross-border businesses, and professional services firms use the same platform with different counterparties and escalation paths. See sanctions screening by sector for tailored use cases.

What Sanctions Checklist supports - and what still requires judgement

The platform supports searching published lists, investigating matches, recording decisions and monitoring changes. It does not certify compliance, interpret the law for your transaction, or replace ownership analysis and wider due diligence where those are required. Users make their own determinations.

Sanctions Checklist is due diligence research software. It is not legal advice and does not constitute an official sanctions determination. Users remain responsible for their own due diligence decisions.
