In the global fight against financial crime, few areas are as critical or as complex as the screening of Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) and sanctioned individuals. For financial institutions, from global banks to boutique wealth management firms, the failure to identify and properly manage relationships with these high-risk individuals isn\u2019t merely a compliance oversight. It\u2019s a direct path to severe regulatory fines, reputational ruin, and potential complicity in the very illicit activities and financial crimes the global financial system is designed to prevent.<\/p>\n

Consider the stakes: In 2023 alone, global financial institutions paid over \u00a34.2 billion in AML-related fines, with a significant portion stemming from failures in PEP and sanctions screening. One major European bank faced a \u00a31.1 billion penalty for processing transactions involving sanctioned entities transactions that proper screening would have prevented. Non-compliance can also result in financial penalties and significant reputational risk, further underscoring the importance of robust compliance measures.<\/p>\n

PEP and sanctions screening forms the cornerstone of any effective Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Financing of Terrorism (CFT) compliance programme. It\u2019s the systematic process by which financial institutions check their customers against various official lists of individuals and entities who are either subject to economic sanctions, including sanction screening and financial sanctions, or who hold prominent public positions that make them vulnerable to corruption.<\/p>\n

From Our Experience: In our work with over 500 financial institutions across Europe and Switzerland, we\u2019ve seen the compliance landscape transform dramatically. What was once a quarterly manual review process has evolved into real-time, AI-powered screening that happens seamlessly during customer onboarding. The increasing complexity of sanctions regulations and the introduction of new restrictive measures have been key drivers for this technological change. Institutions that embrace this evolution reduce their compliance costs by up to 60% whilst simultaneously improving their detection rates.<\/p>\n

This comprehensive guide provides a deep dive into PEP and sanctions screening in 2025. We\u2019ll define what constitutes a PEP, explore the myriad sanctions lists and sanction lists that institutions must navigate, and outline best practices for building a robust, risk-based screening programme. We\u2019ll also examine the critical role of technology from automated screening software to AI-powered risk assessment in managing this complex compliance challenge.<\/p>\n

Finally, we\u2019ll explore how integrated platforms like InvestGlass<\/a> are revolutionising compliance by embedding seamless PEP and sanctions screening directly into the digital onboarding<\/a> and client lifecycle management process.<\/p>\n

Understanding the High-Stakes World of Screening<\/h2>\n

To appreciate the importance of PEP and sanctions screening (screening for both PEPs and sanctions), you must understand the two distinct but related categories of risk it\u2019s designed to mitigate. Effective screening not only helps prevent financial crime and regulatory penalties, but also protects your business reputation by ensuring your institution remains trustworthy and compliant in the marketplace.<\/p>\n

Sanctions Screening: Adhering to Economic Embargoes<\/h3>\n

Sanctions are political and economic measures taken by countries and international organisations to achieve specific foreign policy objectives. They can target entire countries (such as North Korea or Iran), known as sanctioned countries, or specific individuals, entities, and groups involved in activities like terrorism, nuclear proliferation, or human rights abuses. Identifying sanctioned countries is crucial for compliance and risk management.<\/p>\n

When a person or entity appears on a sanctions list, financial institutions are generally prohibited from dealing with them. This isn\u2019t a suggestion it\u2019s a legal obligation with severe consequences for non-compliance. To meet these obligations, institutions must perform sanction checks and sanctions checks during customer onboarding and ongoing monitoring to ensure they do not engage with sanctioned individuals, entities, or countries.<\/p>\n

Critical Compliance Point: Sanctions screening is a strict liability obligation. There\u2019s no room for error. A single transaction with a sanctioned individual even if unintentional can result in severe penalties and criminal prosecution. Sanctions screening is also essential for managing risk in any business relationship with customers or partners.<\/p>\n

PEP Screening: Managing Corruption Risk<\/h3>\n

According to the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the global standard-setter for AML\/CFT, PEPs include:<\/p>\n

\u2022Heads of state or government<\/p>\n

\u2022Prime ministers<\/p>\n

\u2022High ranking government officials<\/p>\n

\u2022Senior politicians and government officials<\/p>\n

\u2022Senior judicial or military officials<\/p>\n

\u2022Senior executives of state-owned corporations<\/p>\n

\u2022Important political party officials<\/p>\n

The definition also extends to their family members (spouses, partners, children, parents) and close associates (individuals known to have joint beneficial ownership or close business relationships). The risk is not limited to only the PEP; it also includes business associates and business partners, who may pose significant AML compliance risks.<\/p>\n

Important Distinction: PEPs are not criminals, and it\u2019s not illegal to have a PEP as a customer. However, their position and influence make them more susceptible to involvement in bribery and corruption. As a result, the FATF recommends that financial institutions apply Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) to relationships with PEPs. Identifying PEPs is a critical part of compliance and due diligence processes.<\/p>\n

There are increased risks when conducting business with PEPs and their associates, as these relationships can expose organizations to potential corruption, money laundering, and other financial crimes.<\/p>\n

Regulatory Insight:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 12-month rule for former PEPs is a minimum, not a maximum. In our regulatory examinations, we expect institutions to apply a risk-based approach. A former head of state may pose elevated risk for many years after leaving office, particularly if they maintain political influence or connections.\u201d<\/p>\n

Former FCA Senior Examiner, now Compliance Advisor at InvestGlass<\/p>\n

It is important to monitor for status changes in PEPs as part of ongoing customer screening. This ensures that any new risks or changes in risk status are identified promptly and the risk is reassessed appropriately throughout the customer lifecycle.<\/p>\n

The Challenges of Modern Screening<\/h2>\n

In theory, screening customers against PEP and sanctions lists seems straightforward. In practice, it\u2019s fraught with challenges that can overwhelm even well-resourced compliance teams. These screenings encompassing PEP, sanctions, and KYB\/KYC checks are essential steps in the compliance process.<\/p>\n

To address these challenges effectively, organizations must implement robust diligence checks and customer due diligence procedures. These measures are critical for verifying identities, identifying risks such as corruption or financial crime, and ensuring ongoing regulatory compliance.<\/p>\n

Challenge 1: The Sheer Volume of Data<\/h3>\n

There are hundreds of sanctions and PEP lists worldwide, containing millions of names. As part of the screening process, it is also necessary to identify and verify beneficial owners to comply with regulatory requirements such as AML and KYC, including those set by FinCEN and the Corporate Transparency Act. These lists are constantly changing, with new names added and removed daily. The OFAC SDN list alone contains over 10,000 entries and is updated multiple times per week. Efficiently screening new customers during onboarding is a significant challenge for financial institutions aiming to meet compliance standards.<\/p>\n

Challenge 2: Poor Quality Data<\/h3>\n

Data on sanctions and PEP lists can be incomplete or inaccurate, with:<\/p>\n

\u2022Variations in spelling and transliteration from different languages<\/p>\n

\u2022Use of aliases and multiple names<\/p>\n

\u2022Incomplete date of birth or identification information<\/p>\n

\u2022Outdated addresses or nationality information<\/p>\n

These data quality issues can result in false negatives during screening, where individuals or connections that should be flagged are missed, increasing compliance risk.<\/p>\n

Challenge 3: The False Positive Problem<\/h3>\n

One of the biggest operational challenges in screening is the high number of false positives legitimate customers incorrectly matched to a name on a watchlist. Reducing false positives is crucial for improving compliance efficiency, as it allows teams to focus resources on genuine risks rather than unnecessary investigations.<\/p>\n

Real-World Impact: A mid-size UK wealth management firm we worked with was generating over 1,200 screening alerts per month, of which 98.5% were false positives. Their compliance team was spending 80% of their time investigating alerts that posed no actual risk. After implementing InvestGlass\u2019s AI-powered screening, false positives dropped to 2.3%, freeing the team to focus on genuine risks.<\/p>\n

Common Causes of False Positives:<\/p>\n

\u2022Common names (e.g., \u201cMohammed Ali,\u201d \u201cJohn Smith\u201d)<\/p>\n

\u2022Partial name matches<\/p>\n

\u2022Variations in spelling or transliteration<\/p>\n

\u2022Incomplete data in customer records<\/p>\n

Challenge 4: Risk-Based Approach Implementation<\/h3>\n

Not all PEPs pose the same level of risk. A local councillor in a low-corruption country is fundamentally different from a government minister in a high-corruption-risk jurisdiction. Certain PEPs or jurisdictions present increased risk of financial crimes, such as money laundering and corruption, and therefore require more stringent controls. Yet implementing a truly risk-based approach one that differentiates appropriately whilst remaining compliant can be difficult without the right technology and frameworks.<\/p>\n

Challenge 5: Real-Time and Ongoing Screening<\/h3>\n

Screening isn\u2019t a one-time event at onboarding. It must be an ongoing process, with:<\/p>\n

\u2022Periodic rescreening of existing customers (typically quarterly or monthly)<\/p>\n

\u2022Real-time transaction screening to catch sanctioned parties attempting to use intermediaries<\/p>\n

\u2022Event-driven screening when lists are updated or customer information changes<\/p>\n

Ongoing due diligence is essential to ensure compliance, especially when monitoring PEPs. Financial institutions should implement procedures to monitor PEPs and their associates for any changes in risk, as part of a robust compliance framework.<\/p>\n

Best Practices for PEP and Sanctions Screening<\/h2>\n

To overcome these challenges and build a robust, effective screening programme, financial institutions should implement the following best practices. Customer due diligence and thorough diligence checks are essential components, helping to identify Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) and mitigate risks such as corruption and financial crime.<\/p>\n

1. Implement a Centralised, Automated Screening Solution<\/h3>\n

Manual screening is no longer viable. A centralised, automated screening solution is essential for managing the volume and complexity of modern screening requirements.<\/p>\n

Your Solution Should:<\/p>\n

\u2022Provide comprehensive list coverage across global and local sanctions and PEP lists<\/p>\n

\u2022Automate the screening process and integrate with onboarding and transaction monitoring workflows<\/p>\n

\u2022Enable screening politically exposed persons (PEPs) and conduct PEPs checks as part of compliance with AML and KYC regulations<\/p>\n

\u2022Use sophisticated matching algorithms including fuzzy logic, phonetic matching, and AI-powered disambiguation to reduce false positives<\/p>\n

\u2022Update lists automatically in real-time as sanctions authorities publish changes<\/p>\n

\u2022Maintain a complete audit trail of all screening activities for regulatory examinations<\/p>\n

2. Adopt a Risk-Based Approach<\/h3>\n

A risk-based approach allows you to focus compliance resources on areas of highest risk whilst maintaining regulatory compliance.<\/p>\n

Implementation Framework:<\/p>\n

Step 1: Develop a Clear PEP Policy Your policy should define:<\/p>\n

\u2022What constitutes a PEP in your business context<\/p>\n

\u2022Risk levels for different PEP categories<\/p>\n

\u2022EDD requirements for each risk level<\/p>\n

\u2022Approval authorities for establishing PEP relationships<\/p>\n

Step 2: Conduct Thorough Risk Assessments Assess PEP and sanctions risk based on:<\/p>\n

\u2022Customer risk factors: PEP status, nationality, source of wealth, occupation<\/p>\n

\u2022Product risk factors: Cash-intensive products, international transfers, complex structures<\/p>\n

\u2022Geographic risk factors: Corruption Perception Index scores, sanctions regimes, political stability<\/p>\n

When conducting risk assessments, it is essential to evaluate the potential for financial crimes and criminal activities, such as money laundering, fraud, and corruption, to ensure robust compliance and protect your institution.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Apply Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) to High-Risk Customers<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

3. Integrate Screening with Your CRM and Onboarding Platform<\/h3>\n

Screening shouldn\u2019t be a standalone process. It should be seamlessly integrated with your Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and digital onboarding<\/a> platforms. Integrating screening into the onboarding process ensures compliance and customer due diligence from the very start.<\/p>\n

Benefits of Integration:<\/p>\n

\u2022Single Source of Truth: All customer data, including risk profile and screening results, stored centrally<\/p>\n

\u2022Seamless Customer Experience: Screening conducted in the background during onboarding without creating friction<\/p>\n

\u2022Improved Efficiency: Compliance teams access all investigation information in one place<\/p>\n

\u2022Automated Workflows: Alerts automatically routed to appropriate compliance officers<\/p>\n

\u2022Real-Time Risk Scoring: Customer risk scores update automatically based on screening results<\/p>\n

Technology Insight:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe future of compliance is invisible compliance. Customers shouldn\u2019t experience delays or friction because of necessary screening processes. With proper integration, screening happens in milliseconds during onboarding, and customers only experience a smooth, professional onboarding journey.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Elena Rodriguez, Chief Technology Officer at InvestGlass<\/p>\n

4. Establish Clear Workflows for Alert Investigation and Management<\/h3>\n

When a potential match is identified, a clear and efficient workflow is essential for investigating and resolving the alert.<\/p>\n

Effective Alert Workflow Should:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Automatic Alert Generation with risk scoring and priority assignment<\/li>\n
  2. Intelligent Alert Routing to appropriate compliance officer based on expertise and workload<\/li>\n
  3. Investigation Dashboard providing all necessary information:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u2022 Customer profile and documentation<\/p>\n

    \u2022 Details of potential match<\/p>\n

    \u2022 Historical screening results<\/p>\n

    \u2022 Related alerts or investigations<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Escalation Protocols for high-risk alerts requiring senior management review<\/li>\n
    2. Disposition Options with clear audit trail, as required by regulatory bodies for documentation and oversight:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \u2022 True positive (confirmed match)<\/p>\n

      \u2022 False positive (no match)<\/p>\n

      \u2022 Possible match (requires further investigation)<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Regulatory Reporting Integration for confirmed sanctions matches<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        7.Case Management tracking investigation status and actions taken<\/p>\n

        5. Leverage AI and Machine Learning to Reduce False Positives<\/h3>\n

        Modern screening solutions use AI and machine learning to dramatically reduce false positives whilst maintaining high detection rates.<\/p>\n

        AI-Powered Capabilities:<\/p>\n

        \u2022Contextual Analysis: Evaluating additional data points (nationality, date of birth, address) to disambiguate matches<\/p>\n

        \u2022Learning Algorithms: Learning from previous disposition decisions to improve future matching accuracy<\/p>\n

        \u2022Network Analysis: Identifying hidden relationships between customers and sanctioned parties<\/p>\n

        \u2022Adverse Media Screening: Automatically scanning news sources for negative information about customers<\/p>\n

        \u2022Predictive Risk Scoring: Assigning risk scores based on multiple factors beyond simple name matching<\/p>\n

        InvestGlass employs advanced AI algorithms that learn from your compliance team’s decisions, continuously improving matching accuracy and reducing false positive rates by up to 95%.<\/p>\n

        6. Continuously Monitor and Review Your Screening Programme<\/h3>\n

        The regulatory landscape and risk environment constantly evolve. Your screening programme must be continuously monitored and reviewed to ensure effectiveness.<\/p>\n

        Ongoing Programme Management:<\/p>\n

        \u2022Stay Current with Regulatory Changes: Monitor FATF guidance, local regulations, and industry best practices<\/p>\n

        \u2022Regular Risk Assessment Updates: Quarterly or when significant changes occur<\/p>\n

        \u2022Ongoing Due Diligence and Status Changes Monitoring: Continuously perform ongoing due diligence and monitor for status changes in customer profiles to identify new risks or changes in risk status<\/p>\n

        \u2022Effectiveness Testing: Annual independent testing of screening controls<\/p>\n

        \u2022Quality Assurance: Sample-based review of alert dispositions<\/p>\n

        \u2022Staff Training: Ongoing training on new risks, regulations, and system capabilities<\/p>\n

        \u2022Technology Updates: Ensure screening software and list sources remain current<\/p>\n

        Regional Compliance Requirements: A Global Perspective<\/h2>\n

        PEP and sanctions screening requirements vary by jurisdiction, though they\u2019re increasingly harmonised through international standards. Financial sanctions implementation is typically managed by government agencies in each region, such as the UK’s Office for Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI), which compile and publish sanctions lists under various legal frameworks.<\/p>\n

                    \u201cBefore InvestGlass, our PEP screening was a manual quarterly process that took our team two weeks to complete. We were always operating with outdated information. Now, screening happens automatically during onboarding and continuously in the background. We\u2019ve reduced our compliance costs by 65% whilst simultaneously improving our detection capabilities. The ROI was evident within the first quarter.\u201d<\/p>\n

                    Common Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them<\/h2>\n

                    Even well-intentioned screening programmes can fall short. Here are common pitfalls and how to avoid them.<\/p>\n

                    Pitfall 1: Over-Reliance on Technology Without Human Oversight<\/h3>\n

                    The Problem: Automated screening is essential, but technology alone isn’t sufficient. Algorithms can miss nuanced risks or generate alerts that require expert judgment.<\/p>\n

                    The Solution: Maintain skilled compliance professionals who understand the context behind alerts and can make informed risk decisions. Use technology to enhance, not replace, human expertise.<\/p>\n

                    Pitfall 2: Inadequate Documentation<\/h3>\n

                    The Problem: Failing to document screening decisions, risk assessments, and EDD measures leaves you vulnerable during regulatory examinations.<\/p>\n

                    The Solution: Implement comprehensive documentation requirements for all screening activities. InvestGlass automatically maintains complete audit trails of all screening and investigation activities.<\/p>\n

                    Pitfall 3: Static Risk Assessments<\/h3>\n

                    The Problem: Conducting risk assessments at onboarding but failing to update them as circumstances change (new sanctions, customer behaviour changes, geopolitical events).<\/p>\n

                    The Solution: Implement continuous monitoring and periodic rescreening. Set triggers for risk reassessment based on specific events or time periods.<\/p>\n

                    Pitfall 4: Inadequate Training<\/h3>\n

                    The Problem: Front-line staff who don’t understand PEP definitions or screening requirements can onboard high-risk customers without appropriate due diligence.<\/p>\n

                    The Solution: Provide comprehensive, role-specific training on PEP and sanctions screening. Include real-world scenarios and case studies. Conduct annual refresher training.<\/p>\n

                    Pitfall 5: Siloed Compliance Functions<\/h3>\n

                    The Problem: PEP screening conducted separately from transaction monitoring, KYC, and other compliance functions leads to incomplete risk assessment.<\/p>\n

                    The Solution: Implement an integrated compliance platform like InvestGlass that provides a holistic view of customer risk across all compliance functions.<\/p>\n

                    The Future of PEP and Sanctions Screening<\/h2>\n

                    As we look ahead, several trends are shaping the future of screening. Enhanced screening technologies will not only improve compliance but also play a crucial role in maintaining international security by enabling more effective enforcement of financial sanctions.<\/p>\n

                    1. Increased Use of AI and Machine Learning<\/h3>\n

                    AI will continue to improve matching accuracy, reduce false positives, and identify hidden relationships between customers and high-risk individuals. Natural language processing will enhance adverse media screening, automatically categorising and prioritising news articles.<\/p>\n

                    2. Real-Time Global Data Sharing<\/h3>\n

                    International cooperation on sanctions and PEP information will improve, with more standardised data formats and real-time sharing between jurisdictions. This will reduce the burden on individual institutions whilst improving global effectiveness.<\/p>\n

                    3. Blockchain for Sanctions Compliance<\/h3>\n

                    Distributed ledger technology may enable real-time, transparent sanctions screening for cryptocurrency and digital asset transactions, addressing a current gap in many screening programmes.<\/p>\n

                    4. Predictive Risk Analytics<\/h3>\n

                    Beyond identifying current PEPs and sanctioned individuals, future systems will predict which individuals or entities are likely to become high-risk based on behavioural patterns, network analysis, and geopolitical developments.<\/p>\n

                    5. Regulatory Technology (RegTech) Standardisation<\/h3>\n

                    Industry-wide standards for screening data formats, risk scoring methodologies, and reporting will emerge, making it easier for institutions to demonstrate compliance and for regulators to conduct examinations.<\/p>\n

                    Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n

                    PEP and sanctions screening is a critical component of any financial institution’s compliance programme. The stakes are high, but with the right approach and technology, you can build an effective programme that protects your institution whilst providing a seamless customer experience.<\/p>\n

                    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)<\/h2>\n

                    1. What is the difference between a PEP and a sanctioned individual?<\/h3>\n

                    A PEP is someone who holds or has held a prominent public function, making them more vulnerable to corruption. Having a PEP as a customer is legal but requires Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD). A sanctioned individual is someone specifically designated by a government or international body as subject to economic restrictions. Dealing with sanctioned individuals is generally prohibited by law, and violations can result in severe penalties.<\/p>\n

                    2. How long does someone remain classified as a PEP after leaving office?<\/h3>\n

                    According to FATF guidance and most regulations, an individual must be treated as a PEP for at least 12 months after leaving their prominent public function. However, this is a minimum requirement. Many institutions apply a risk-based approach and continue to treat former senior officials (such as former heads of state) as PEPs for much longer periods, sometimes indefinitely, depending on their continued influence and connections.<\/p>\n

                    3. Are family members and close associates of PEPs also considered PEPs?<\/h3>\n

                    Yes. The FATF definition of PEPs includes family members (spouses, partners, children, parents) and close associates (individuals known to have joint beneficial ownership or close business relationships with the PEP). These individuals should be subject to the same EDD measures as the PEP themselves, as they may be used as conduits for corruption or bribery.<\/p>\n

                    4. How often should we rescreen existing customers?<\/h3>\n

                    Best practice is to conduct periodic rescreening at least quarterly, with more frequent screening (monthly or even daily) for higher-risk customers. Additionally, you should implement event-driven screening that automatically rescreens customers when sanctions lists are updated or when customer information changes. InvestGlass automates this process, conducting continuous background screening without manual intervention.<\/p>\n

                    5. What should we do if we identify a customer as a PEP after onboarding?<\/h3>\n

                    If you identify a customer as a PEP after the relationship has been established, you should immediately apply Enhanced Due Diligence measures. This includes obtaining senior management approval to continue the relationship, establishing source of wealth and source of funds, and implementing enhanced ongoing monitoring. Document the circumstances of the late identification and the remedial actions taken. InvestGlass’s continuous screening capabilities help prevent late identifications by automatically rescreening customers as new PEP data becomes available.<\/p>\n

                    6. How do we reduce false positives in our screening programme?<\/h3>\n

                    False positives can be reduced through several strategies: (1) Use advanced matching algorithms that incorporate fuzzy logic, phonetic matching, and contextual analysis; (2) Collect complete customer data at onboarding, including full name, date of birth, nationality, and address; (3) Implement AI and machine learning that learns from your disposition decisions; (4) Use risk-based thresholds that adjust matching sensitivity based on customer risk profile; (5) Leverage platforms like InvestGlass that employ sophisticated AI to achieve false positive reduction rates of up to 95%.<\/p>\n

                    7. What are the penalties for sanctions violations?<\/h3>\n

                    Sanctions violations can result in severe penalties, including: (1) Civil monetary penalties ranging from thousands to millions of pounds per violation; (2) Criminal penalties including imprisonment for individuals involved; (3) Loss of banking licences or regulatory permissions; (4) Reputational damage and loss of correspondent banking relationships. In the US, OFAC can impose penalties of up to $20 million or twice the transaction value per violation. In the EU, penalties can reach \u20ac5 million or 10% of annual turnover.<\/p>\n

                    8. Do we need to screen for domestic PEPs or only foreign PEPs?<\/h3>\n

                    Requirements vary by jurisdiction. The FATF recommends mandatory EDD for foreign PEPs and risk-based EDD for domestic PEPs. However, many jurisdictions (including the EU under 5AMLD) now require EDD for both foreign and domestic PEPs. Even where not strictly required, best practice is to identify domestic PEPs and apply a risk-based approach to determine the appropriate level of due diligence. InvestGlass screens against both foreign and domestic PEP lists, allowing you to implement jurisdiction-specific policies.<\/p>\n

                    9. How does GDPR affect PEP and sanctions screening in Europe?<\/h3>\n

                    GDPR requires that you have a lawful basis for processing personal data, including for screening purposes. For sanctions screening, your lawful basis is typically “legal obligation” (compliance with sanctions laws). For PEP screening, your lawful basis may be “legal obligation” (compliance with AML regulations) or “legitimate interests” (preventing financial crime). You must be transparent about your screening activities in privacy notices, allow individuals to access their data, and maintain appropriate security measures. InvestGlass is built with GDPR compliance at its core, including data minimisation, purpose limitation, and Swiss data sovereignty.<\/p>\n

                    10. Can we outsource PEP and sanctions screening to a third party?<\/h3>\n

                    Yes, you can outsource the technology and data aspects of screening to a third-party provider. However, you cannot outsource the ultimate responsibility for compliance. You remain accountable for ensuring that screening is conducted effectively and that appropriate action is taken on alerts. When outsourcing, ensure that: (1) The provider has comprehensive list coverage; (2) The technology meets your accuracy and performance requirements; (3) You maintain access to audit trails and documentation; (4) You have clear SLAs for list updates and system availability; (5) The provider complies with data protection regulations. InvestGlass provides a fully managed screening solution whilst ensuring you maintain complete control and visibility over your compliance programme.<\/p>\n
