Diversion Risk Engine

SecurePoint Trade

Detect re-export routing before it becomes a violation.

Most systems tell you what happened. The Diversion Risk Engine tells you what might happen — flagging suspicious routing patterns, sensitive end-use keywords, and military end-user indicators before shipment release.

Third-country transit detection through 14 tracked high-risk hubs.

Semiconductor and dual-use keyword scanning in end-use descriptions.

Military end-user and military intelligence end-use indicators.

Reason for Control tagging: National Security, Regional Stability, Anti-Terrorism.

Route Analysis

Third-country transit pattern detection

The engine analyzes declared routing against known re-export hubs and flags transactions where the shipping path suggests potential diversion through sanctioned or high-risk jurisdictions.

  • China/Hong Kong re-export route pattern analysis
  • UAE, Turkey, and Central Asian hub monitoring
  • Multi-hop transit route detection
  • Reason for Control (RFC) tagging on every flag
Detection Capabilities

What the Diversion Risk Engine catches

Each rule targets a specific class of sanctions evasion pattern identified through BIS enforcement actions and industry intelligence.

Transit Hub Detection

Flags shipments routing through 14 known re-export hubs associated with sanctions evasion.

Dual-Use Keyword Scan

Scans end-use descriptions for semiconductor, nuclear, and controlled technology keywords.

Military End-User

Identifies military end-user and military intelligence end-use indicators in counterparty data.

Route Anomaly

Detects when declared routes deviate from typical commercial shipping patterns for the product class.

Sensitive Destination

Applies heightened scrutiny to destinations under comprehensive or sectoral sanctions programs.

Risk Aggregation

Combines multiple weak signals into composite risk scores that surface transactions needing review.

Keyword Intelligence

Dual-use keyword scanning with regulatory context

The engine scans end-use descriptions for controlled technology keywords and automatically tags each flag with the applicable Reason for Control — giving analysts regulatory context, not just keyword matches.

  • Semiconductor and dual-use technology keyword detection
  • Military end-user and military intelligence end-use indicators
  • Reason for Control tagging: NS, RS, AT on every flag
  • Highlighted keywords in context for rapid analyst review

Enforcement context

BIS added 400+ entities to restricted lists in 2024 alone

The Bureau of Industry and Security is expanding its restricted party lists at an accelerating pace, with a focus on semiconductor diversion, military end-use violations, and transshipment through known evasion hubs. Companies without proactive diversion detection face escalating exposure.
