Sanction Finder

The project

Sanctions Finder is a compliance platform that lets businesses check whether an individual, a company, a vessel or a category of goods appears on sanctions lists, reducing regulatory risk and keeping operations lawful.

Sanctions screening is a domain where being approximately right is worse than useless. A missed match is a violation with criminal exposure. A false match blocks a legitimate transaction and costs the customer a client. Meanwhile the underlying data is a moving target: dozens of authorities publish separately, in different formats, with different naming conventions, transliterations and entity identifiers, and they update on their own schedules. The product's core promise is not search. It is that the data behind the search is current and complete.

What we did

DForce supports the product and the technology behind it.

• Screening search across individuals, organisations and goods, built as the primary surface of the platform.
• A Sanctions Tracker for ongoing monitoring, because compliance is not a one-time check: an entity that was clean at onboarding may be listed later, and the customer needs to know when that happens.
• Daily-updated data sourced from official global authorities, stated openly on the platform, since data freshness is the product claim a compliance buyer actually evaluates.
• An insights section and a consultation flow aimed at enterprise buyers, who do not purchase screening tools from a pricing page.
• A clear product structure separating Product, Company, Support and Legal, which matters for a buyer running a vendor assessment.

Engineering notes

• Names are the hard problem. The same person appears across lists in different transliterations, spellings and orderings, so matching cannot be string equality and cannot be so loose that it floods the customer with false positives.
• Many sources, one answer. Each authority publishes in its own format and on its own cadence, and all of it has to reconcile into a single result the customer can act on.
• Freshness is a feature that must be demonstrable. "Updated daily" is a claim a compliance officer will test, so it is surfaced in the interface rather than asserted in marketing copy.
• Enterprise UX means audit trails, not delight. The people using this need to show what they checked and when, which shapes the interface more than aesthetics do.

Highlights

• Built for compliance teams where accuracy and data freshness are critical
• Positioned as an enterprise screening solution
• Trust-driven UX around authoritative, frequently updated data
