Why monitoring matters
Risk changes after onboarding.
A customer cleared today may be sanctioned tomorrow. Continuous monitoring closes the gap between onboarding screening and ongoing compliance obligations.
Sanctions lists update
OFAC, UN, EU, and other authorities publish updates regularly. Entities can be added, modified, or removed.
Aliases change
New aliases, alternative spellings, and transliterations are discovered and published over time.
Entities get newly listed
A previously unknown individual or company may be designated months or years after your first screen.
Counterparties need review
Regulators expect ongoing diligence, not just onboarding checks. Monitoring demonstrates continuous oversight.

Capabilities
What monitoring delivers.
Scheduled re-screening
Entities on your watchlist are re-screened automatically when configured sanctions lists are updated.
List change monitoring
Verifex monitors official government feeds and syncs changes automatically. Update frequency varies by source.
Webhook alerts
Receive near real-time webhook notifications when a watched entity's risk status changes due to list updates.
Portfolio monitoring
Monitor hundreds or thousands of entities in a single watchlist. Filter by risk level, source, and review status.
Delta review
Review only what changed — new matches, elevated risk, or newly sanctioned entities — without re-screening the entire portfolio manually.
Evidence export
Export monitoring history and evidence capsules in JSON or CSV for regulatory reporting and audit review.
Audit log
Every re-screening event is logged with timestamps, list versions, and the delta that triggered the alert.
Alert example
Webhook alerts when risk changes.
When a watched entity's risk status changes due to a sanctions list update, Verifex sends a structured webhook payload with the full context — previous status, new status, source, match score, and audit ID.
- Structured JSON payload with entity_id
- Previous and new risk status
- Exact source list that triggered the change
- Match score and structured rationale
- Audit ID for cross-reference and evidence retrieval

}Expectations
Near real-time, not instant.
Verifex monitors configured sanctions lists and sends webhook alerts when risk changes are detected. Alert timing depends on list update frequency, ingestion pipelines, and your webhook endpoint availability. We recommend implementing retry logic and monitoring your webhook delivery health.
