Performing Effective and Comprehensive Denied Party Screening Within Salesforce CRM
Making Sanctions Screening Work at the Scale of Salesforce
At the core of global sanctions compliance screening is a review of information as it flows into and out of a business
Since most companies operate on centralized platforms, such as Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems like Salesforce, screening data within these systems can go a long way towards minimizing an organization’s risk exposure profile.

Your Salesforce Data Keeps Changing. Your Screening Has to Keep Up.
While new leads, contacts, customers, vendors, and opportunities enter Salesforce every day, existing records also continue to change. This means risk can change after an initial screening, too.
A contact that was clear yesterday may require review today because of a new designation, an ownership change, or rules such as the OFAC 50 Percent Rule and BIS 50% Affiliates Rule. Risk can also remain hidden in records already inside Salesforce when screening has been inconsistent, manual, or limited to certain stages of the customer lifecycle.
This whitepaper explores how to build a more continuous, centralized screening process inside Salesforce, including automated rescreening, ownership risk, workflow controls, auditability, and managing false positives.
