Global sanctions data management enables organisations to ingest, govern, and apply sanctions data from multiple authorities across jurisdictions in a consistent and controlled manner. As sanctions regimes expand in scope and complexity, firms must manage a growing volume of lists, formats, and regulatory expectations without fragmenting screening operations.

Within the Facctum platform, global sanctions data management supports solutions such as Customer Screening, Payment Screening, and Transaction Monitoring, ensuring that sanctions controls remain aligned across regions, products, and workflows.

Why Global Sanctions Data Management Is Needed

Sanctions data is published by numerous authorities, including national regulators and international bodies, each with distinct update cycles, data structures, and legal requirements. Managing these sources independently can lead to inconsistent screening, delayed updates, and governance gaps.

Global sanctions data management addresses this challenge by providing a unified approach to handling sanctions sources, enabling organisations to apply consistent controls while respecting jurisdiction-specific obligations.

How Global Sanctions Data Management Works

Global sanctions data management works by ingesting sanctions lists from multiple official sources and applying standardised governance, validation, and enrichment processes. Data is versioned, normalised, and categorised to support accurate downstream screening.

Jurisdictional rules and applicability logic determine how and where specific sanctions sources are applied, ensuring that screening outcomes align with regulatory expectations across regions. This approach supports both real-time and batch screening workflows.

What Makes Facctum’s Approach Different

Facctum’s approach to global sanctions data management is designed to prioritise governance, traceability, and operational consistency. Sanctions data is managed as a shared platform resource rather than fragmented across individual screening systems.

By integrating data management with screening and decisioning capabilities, Facctum helps organisations adapt quickly to regulatory changes without compromising control or transparency.

Where Global Sanctions Data Management Is Used

Global sanctions data management is applied in scenarios such as:

• Screening customers and payments across multiple jurisdictions

• Managing overlapping or conflicting sanctions regimes

• Supporting correspondent banking and cross-border activity

• Maintaining consistent sanctions controls across business units

These use cases rely on reliable, governed sanctions data to maintain regulatory confidence.

How Global Sanctions Data Management Fits Into The Platform

Global sanctions data management integrates with other platform capabilities such as dynamic list normalisation, watchlist delta management, sanctions and PEP screening, and reporting. It can be configured to reflect jurisdictional scope, regulatory requirements, and organisational policy.

This modular integration allows organisations to scale sanctions operations globally without increasing complexity.
