Global Sentry Module

The Global Sentry Module matches your records against government watch lists so that you can identify countries, individuals, and organizations in your data that have financial sanctions imposed on them by governments around the globe. The Global Sentry Module addresses the specific requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act and similar laws.

The Global Sentry Module identifies matches between your records and entities on the following government watch lists:

• Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade
• Bank of England
• European Union - Common and Foreign Security Policy
• Office of Superintendent of Financial Institutions of Canada
• U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security - Denied Persons List
• U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security - Unverified List
• U.S. Treasury – Office of Foreign Assets Control
• U.S Department of State Directorate of Defense Trade Controls - List of Statutorily Debarred Parties

Global Sentry provides optimized rules for matching and scoring, along with a knowledge base of names from 120 cultures and associated gender and name variant data to identify matches between your data and the watch lists. Matches are performed against sanctioned country names, names, addresses, ID numbers, and other information such as date of birth to provide an overall risk score. This information allows your organization to make a decision on whether or not to block a particular transaction.

The Global Sentry Module uses stages from the Universal Name Module, Data Normalization Module, and Advanced Matching Module.
