About Verifex
Verifex is built by Sadat Nazarli, a software engineer focused on making enterprise-grade compliance tools accessible to startups and fintech teams.
The product was built after seeing firsthand how compliance tools at $75,000/year price points lock out the startups that need them most — exactly the fintechs operating in high-risk corridors where accurate screening matters.
Verifex screens against 43 global sanctions, PEP, and enforcement lists with a 4-stage matching pipeline (exact, fuzzy, phonetic, LLM cascade) that achieved a 100% F1 score on a 145-case adversarial benchmark. Every match includes a structured explanation object and automated adjudication recommendation — capabilities typically reserved for enterprise platforms.
Verifex is bootstrapped, independently operated, and committed to transparency — including publishing our full benchmark dataset so any customer can verify our accuracy claims independently.

Infrastructure
Verifex is hosted on IONOS dedicated infrastructure in Frankfurt, Germany (EU). The API runs behind TLS 1.3 with AES-256 encryption at rest. PostgreSQL stores all screening records with cryptographic hash chaining for tamper-evident audit logs. API keys are hashed with SHA-256 (never stored in plaintext).
- Backup strategy: Daily PostgreSQL backups to separate storage
- Recovery time objective (RTO): < 4 hours
- Recovery point objective (RPO): < 24 hours
- Multi-region deployment planned for Q3 2026
Security & Compliance
We are actively pursuing SOC 2 Type II certification with an expected completion of Q4 2026. Annual penetration testing is planned as part of the SOC 2 preparation. See our Security page for detailed technical controls, and our Data Processing Agreement for GDPR compliance details.
