Illicit finance and sanctions risk
Where threat-finance and sanctions exposure sits in a counterparty, a transaction, or a portfolio — and what a defensible screening and escalation posture looks like.
Sanctions and threat-finance exposure rarely announces itself. It sits in the ownership structure behind a counterparty, in a payment routed through an intermediary jurisdiction, or in a portfolio company whose customer base shifts after acquisition. Identifying it requires more than a name-screen against a list.
Sanctir applies a node-control and beneficial-ownership methodology to commercial risk questions: mapping where exposure concentrates, classifying counterparties by the reliability of what is actually known about them, and designing screening and escalation that holds up when a regulator or an acquirer asks how a decision was reached.
Engagements range from a single counterparty review to the design of a screening and escalation program aligned with the OFAC framework for compliance commitments.
