Sanctions & Compliance Monitoring
Automated Risk Detection Powered by Open Sanctions Data
As global compliance regulations evolve, organizations need real-time visibility into exposure—not after an audit, but as transactions and relationships unfold. DataDock makes this possible by offering direct API access to continuously updated open sanctions data and policy sources from around the world
.
With intelligent data extraction, correlation, and risk flagging built into our platform, developers can embed compliance capabilities directly into products, workflows, or monitoring systems—without relying on traditional GRC dashboards.
- Extract zoning, ownership, and transaction details from public records
- Identify investment trends across commercial and residential markets
- Analyze historical valuations and location-based performance indicators
What We Monitor
Our platform integrates data from publicly available and ethically sourced sanctions and regulatory enforcement lists across:
- International bodies (e.g., UN, EU)
- National agencies (e.g., U.S. OFAC, UK OFSI, Canadian sanctions authority)
- Financial conduct regulators
- Emerging policy frameworks tied to ESG, human rights, and trade restrictions
This data is continuously normalized, enriched, and exposed through our APIs to power proactive compliance and anomaly detection.
How It Works
1. Real-Time Sanctions List Monitoring
Continuously updated APIs give you access to the latest global watchlists. Query by name, alias, address, country, or custom metadata to check for exposure or match risk.
2. Intelligent Correlation & Pattern Detection
We connect structured and unstructured data across sources to reveal hidden connections between sanctioned entities, affiliates, shell companies, and transaction behavior.
3. Alerting and Rule-Based Tagging
Use prebuilt or custom rules to flag high-risk patterns—such as repeated interactions with flagged jurisdictions, rapid beneficiary switching, or indirect connections to embargoed parties.
4. Workflow Integration via API
Our endpoints are built for flexible integration. You can embed them in onboarding systems, payment gateways, third-party monitoring tools, or internal audit pipelines.
