There’s no benchmark for sanctions screening in many industries. That’s the problem. Unlike finance, where the Wolfsberg Principles set the global standard, other industries have been left without a clear yardstick.

This white paper gives you that benchmark and shows how Descartes Visual Compliance™ not only aligns with Wolfsberg but exceeds it.

Regulators and partners don’t care what industry you’re in. They care whether your sanctions screening is defensible, auditable, and risk-avoidance focused. Wolfsberg was designed for financial institutions, a heavily scrutinised sector.

If your organisation can show it meets that same level of rigour, you’ve just minimised compliance risk and signalled maturity to everyone watching.

• Why Wolfsberg matters outside finance and why it’s becoming the de facto benchmark for non-financial sectors.

• The 16 core principles explained from governance and scope to alert handling and independent testing.

• How Descartes Visual Compliance maps to each principle and where it goes further, with false positive reduction, enhanced risk data, and advanced matching logic.

• How to build your business case using Wolfsberg as a recognised framework to justify investment in stronger screening.

• Trade compliance teams needing a benchmark to measure against 

• Companies preparing for government scrutiny 

• Organisations with global supply chains  

• Businesses managing international partnerships  

By accessing the whitepaper you will and learn how Wolfsberg can be your benchmark and how Descartes helps you exceed it.
