New: Sanctions Delta Monitor — OFAC, UK OFSI & UN Change Alerts — scheduled change-alerts for the major sanctions lists

What it does

Sanctions Delta Monitor watches the official OFAC SDN, UK OFSI Consolidated, and UN Security Council Consolidated lists, canonicalizes every entity, and compares each run against a stored snapshot. In delta mode it emits only what changed since the previous run — additions, removals, and amendments — so recurring KYC/AML screening sees signal, not the whole list again. If one source is briefly unavailable the run still processes the others and logs a partial-results warning.

Who it's for

KYC/AML teams, trade-compliance and export-control teams, fintechs and payment providers, marketplaces, banks, and vendor/supplier onboarding teams who need recurring watchlist screening rather than one-off downloads.

Sample fields / output

list, change_type (added / removed / amended / program_changed / alias_changed / address_changed / identifier_changed), changes (every dimension that changed), entity_name, entity_type, aliases, program, ids, addresses, nationalities, source_url, matched_watch, and snapshot_date.

Example use cases

  • Run nightly in delta mode and route new/changed entities into your case-management or alerting queue.
  • Pass a watchlist of customer or supplier names (optionally with fuzzy matching) to monitor only the parties you care about.
  • Baseline once in full mode for an export-control audit, then keep a continuous change log for evidence.

FAQ

Does it return the whole sanctions list every run?

No. In delta mode the first run per list records a baseline and emits nothing; every run after that emits only added, removed, or amended entries. Use full mode if you want the entire current list.

Which lists are covered?

OFAC SDN (US Treasury), UK OFSI Consolidated, and the UN Security Council Consolidated List. Interpol Red Notices, World Bank debarment, and the EU consolidated list are planned but not in this version.

Can I rely on a match as a compliance decision?

No — it is an alerting and filtering tool, not legal or compliance advice. A match or change is a signal to review against the official register, following your own compliance procedures.
