Five Things That Break Screening in SaaS

These five decide whether screening holds up as you grow. Select one to see what fixes it.

Interactive

Score your SaaS screening coverage

Set your model, the points in the lifecycle where screening runs today, and the markets you serve. The scorecard updates live: your coverage band, the list set behind the API request, and every gap left open.

Screening Across the Full Cycle

Six moments where a restricted party can reach your product, your data or your revenue. Select one to see what gets screened, and what it costs to miss it.

One API Call, in Your Product and in Your CRM

Screening at signup, even on a bare email domain

Trial accounts often give you one data point. Domain screening puts a check at the start of the journey, roughly 350 ms inside the signup call rather than behind it.

Restricted jurisdictions blocked at the edge

High-risk jurisdiction data as defined by FATF, FinCEN and OFAC, used to refuse signups or keep your IP blocking lists current automatically.

Continuous monitoring of customers and vendors

Lists refresh every 60 minutes and your base is re-screened automatically. A webhook fires the moment a customer, partner or processor is designated.

Audit trail procurement and auditors accept

Every alert, clear and override timestamped against the list snapshot used, exportable to CSV or JSON. Batch endpoints cover periodic sweeps of the account base.

The practical guide to sanctions screening

How screening programmes are built, tuned and defended: list selection across OFAC, EU, UN and HMT/OFSI, thresholds you can defend, false-positive management, and the evidence examiners ask for.

Selecting a Suitable Screening Vendor

The evaluation criteria that separate providers: list coverage and refresh cadence, match-quality benchmarking, latency under load, data residency, and the commercial terms that bite at volume. Includes an RFP question set.
