Sanctions Investigations

Sanctions lists are only the start of effective sanctions investigations. Complex corporate networks, opaque jurisdictions and nominee directors can all obscure beneficial ownership.

Videris helps investigators cut through the noise to identify and resolve hidden sanctions risk.

Understand sanctions exposure with OSINT

Changing sanctions regimes and evolving evasion tactics are making sanctions investigations harder. Investigators must go beyond watchlists to form an accurate picture of an entity’s sanctions exposure.

Open source intelligence (OSINT) enhances sanctions investigations by allowing teams to gain a fuller picture of network risk.

Future-proof sanctions capability

Sanctions teams need to understand where a subject might be sanctioned by extension or using evasion tactics. Watchlists only provide a fraction of the full picture and are constantly changing.

Videris lets investigators supplement watchlists with live internet data to ensure that teams can always stay ahead of sanctions evasion.

Harness the power of OSINT

OSINT is key to effective sanctions investigation, but large volumes of data and security concerns can make it hard to implement.

Videris allows regulated entities to use OSINT securely, accurately and efficiently in a single intelligence platform.

Meet regulatory requirements

Ensuring adherence to sanctions regimes is easier with OSINT. Guarantee more accurate results by consulting more sources and making effective use of automation.

Identify less obvious connections to sanctioned entities to meet regulatory requirements as they continue to change and tighten.

Group Head of Suspicious Activity Reporting at Danske Bank

“Videris has allowed us to take on clients and assignments which we would otherwise have to decline or outsource. Elsewhere, investigations that would previously take us days can now be done in hours.”

Jacob Magnusson

Head of Operational Analysis at CERTA

“Previously our team spent 70% of its time searching for data, and only 30% understanding it. With Videris, those numbers have been reversed.”
