Overview

Sanctions settings control how Strise screens entities against sanctions lists. Strise uses Dow Jones as the sanctions data provider, covering over 1000 sanctions lists from jurisdictions worldwide. These settings determine which sanctions lists are included, how name matching works, and how matches are scored and categorized.

You can find these settings under Settings > Sanctions in the app. Only team managers can modify these settings.

1. Sanctions screening

Every screening page has the same first step; setting up your fundamental screening settings. Who/what would you like to be screened? Screening settings control which entities are included when Strise screens across different all available risk categories. When Strise screens a company or person, it doesn't only screen the entity itself — it also screens connected entities such as beneficial owners, board members, shareholders, and subsidiaries. This gives you a broader risk picture by surfacing hits on related parties.

Screening settings are configured independently per risk category, meaning you can have different entity scope for PEP screening versus Sanctions screening, for example.

You can find these settings under Settings > Screening headline in the app. (In the Sanctions, PEP, AMS, Geographical & Structural screening pages). Only team managers can modify these settings.

Risk categories

Screening settings are available for 6 risk categories, each configured independently:

The "Screens" column indicates which types of entities are checked for that category. For example, PEP screening only checks persons (not companies themselves), while Sanctions screening checks both.

2. Sanctions sources

Strise uses Dow Jones as the data provider for sanctions screening, giving you access to over 1000 sanctions lists from jurisdictions and regulatory bodies worldwide.

These lists are organized into provider groups for easier management:
