How often should I rescreen customers?

Daily batch against updated SDN list for all customers. Event-triggered rescreening for major SDN updates and customer profile changes.

Should low-risk customers be rescreened?

Yes. At minimum monthly, or when SDN updates occur. All customers should be in daily batch rescreening for best practice.

What triggers immediate rescreening?

Major SDN list updates, customer profile changes, adverse media alerts, and regulatory changes.

Can rescreening be automated?

Yes. Daily batch rescreening via API eliminates manual work and ensures no customer is missed.

Customer rescreening frequency for sanctions compliance

Onboarding screening is not enough. The SDN list changes constantly. Here is the recommended rescreening frequency by risk tier.

Risk-based rescreening schedule

Event-triggered rescreening

Beyond scheduled rescreening, rescreen immediately when: (1) major SDN list update occurs, (2) customer profile changes (new ownership, new geography), (3) adverse media alert, (4) regulatory change affecting the customer's industry or geography.

Risk tier	Rescreening frequency	Customer profile
High	Daily (batch against updated SDN)	High-risk jurisdiction, PEPs, complex structures
Medium	Weekly or bi-weekly	Moderate-risk profiles, standard customers
Low	Monthly or on SDN updates	Low-risk individuals, domestic retail

Best practice: Daily batch rescreening of ALL customers against the updated SDN list. This catches every new designation regardless of risk tier. Use an automated API for this.
