What is an OFAC risk assessment?

An OFAC risk assessment is a structured evaluation of your organization's exposure to sanctions violations. It considers your customer base, geographic footprint, product types, transaction volumes, and distribution channels to identify where sanctions risk is highest.

Key risk factors

• Geographic risk: Do you serve customers in comprehensively sanctioned jurisdictions?
• Customer risk: Do your customers include politically exposed persons or entities in high-risk industries?
• Product risk: Do your products enable anonymous or cross-border transactions?
• Agent risk: Can your AI agents initiate payments without human review?
