Sanctions Screening and AI Risk Assist
The Problem Compliance Managers Face
You're running manual OFAC checks in a spreadsheet, or paying per-screening fees that make you skip visitors. When a name matches partially—like "Mohammed Al-Ahmad" vs "Muhammad Al-Ahmad"—you're not sure if it's the same person or a false positive. You're checking one list at a time, missing BIS affiliates and UN sanctions that could be relevant. When an auditor asks how you verified a visitor six months ago, you're digging through email threads and handwritten notes. There's no audit trail, no proof you actually checked.
SecurePoint USA screens every visitor automatically across multiple global sanctions lists. When a visitor checks in at the kiosk or front desk, the system immediately checks OFAC, BIS, UN, EU, UK, and other official sources. AI-assisted entity matching handles name variations, transliterations, and partial matches—so "Mohammed" matches "Muhammad" and "Al-Ahmad" matches "Al Ahmad" when they should. You get fast results, and unlimited screenings on every plan means you never skip a check because of cost.
Find the data fast. Every screening is logged with timestamps, the lists checked, any matches found, and the final decision. OFAC 50% ownership enforcement is available when enabled per tenant, and BIS affiliate monitoring escalates during the current BIS suspension window. Search by visitor name, date, or screening status. Export complete screening records with all the context an auditor needs. When someone asks about a visitor from last month, you can pull their complete screening history in seconds, not hours.
Prove your controls. Audit logs show exactly which lists were checked, when, and what results came back. AI assists by surfacing matches and highlighting relevant context, but humans make final decisions—and every decision is logged with who made it, when, and why. Export evidence packs that demonstrate your visitor control program screens everyone against multiple sanctions lists as required by ITAR, EAR, and export control compliance programs.

Sanctions screening FAQs
What is sanctions screening for visitor management?
Sanctions screening in visitor management checks visitor identities against official restricted-party and sanctions sources (for example OFAC and BIS) before granting physical access. In regulated facilities, this helps reduce export-control and reputational risk by ensuring your check-in workflow includes a consistent, documented screening step.
Which sanctions lists should regulated manufacturers screen against?
The right set depends on your risk profile and programs, but common sources include OFAC sanctions, BIS restricted-party data, and other government and multilateral sources relevant to your operations. The goal is consistent coverage and traceable evidence of what was checked, when it was checked, and who made the final access decision.
How do you handle false positives in sanctions screening?
False positives are handled with a documented review step: potential matches are flagged for human adjudication, additional context is considered, and the final decision is recorded. For audit readiness, keep the match details, timestamps, decision maker, and rationale—without storing unnecessary personal data.
Do AI tools replace compliance decisions in sanctions screening?
No. AI can assist with match review by surfacing potential matches and summarizing risk signals, but access decisions should remain with authorized personnel. The defensible approach is “assistive, not determinative,” with immutable audit logging of both the recommendation and the human decision.
