How to Conduct a Sanctions Risk Assessment

A framework for evaluating your organization's sanctions exposure and prioritizing compliance efforts.

Risk factors

Consider your geographic exposure, customer types, transaction volumes, products/services, and distribution channels.

Risk rating

Rate each factor as low, medium, or high. Your overall risk profile determines the intensity of screening needed.

Mitigation

Implement screening controls proportional to your risk. High-risk businesses need real-time screening and enhanced due diligence.
