Supplier Risk Screening Evidence for Sanctions, Debarment & KYB
Procurement and supply-chain teams are asked to prove — not just claim — that a supplier was screened. Verifex batch-screens suppliers against sanctions, watchlist, and debarment sources, adds KYB company identity and UBO ownership context, and records an audit-ready Evidence Capsule for every decision. Evidence-first infrastructure, not just a cheap sanctions lookup.

Who it's for
Procurement & vendor management teams
Screening new and existing suppliers before onboarding and at contract renewal, with a defensible record for each decision.

Fintech & marketplace vendor onboarding
Verifying business sellers, payout recipients, and partners before money or goods move.
B2B marketplaces & platforms
Screening third-party suppliers and merchants as part of a risk-based onboarding workflow.
Trade & export-compliance teams
Adding sanctions, ownership, and jurisdiction context to UFLPA-style and EU due-diligence files.
What it does
- Screens suppliers against sanctions, PEP, and watchlist sources, and against debarment / procurement-exclusion lists.
- Adds KYB company identity via the GLEIF LEI registry — legal name, directors, and registration context.
- Traverses UBO / beneficial-ownership context with OFAC 50% rule logic to surface who ultimately controls a supplier.
- Attaches country and jurisdiction risk context to inform supply-chain and export due diligence.
- Batch-screens a full supplier list and records each check as a retrievable Evidence Capsule (JSON/CSV export).
What it does not do
- Does not certify a supplier as legitimate, approved, or forced-labor-free, and does not guarantee a UFLPA, EU, or other regulatory outcome.
- Does not replace a full corporate registry filing or a risk-based third-party due-diligence program.
- Does not provide legal or compliance advice — it produces screening infrastructure and data-derived, reviewable results.
Use the dashboard first. Integrate the API when ready.
Upload a supplier list, screen the batch, review and resolve any hits, then export a supplier dossier (JSON/CSV) for the procurement file.
POST suppliers to /v1/screen/batch, retrieve the Evidence Capsule per supplier, and export results into your vendor-management system. SDKs for Python, Node.js, Go, and Rust.

# → one screening result + retrievable Evidence Capsule per supplierEvery supplier check produces an Evidence Capsule: the exact source list versions and hashes, the screened_at timestamp, the match rationale, the reviewer action, and an audit ID — exportable as JSON or CSV for procurement files and examiner review. Sanctions/debarment risk records are kept distinct from KYB company-data lookups, so you can show the difference between a real hit and a routine identity check.

Frequently asked questions
What is supplier risk screening?
Supplier (or vendor) risk screening checks the companies you buy from or transact with against sanctions, watchlist, and debarment sources, and adds company identity and ownership context. Verifex focuses on producing reviewable evidence for each supplier decision, not just a pass/fail flag.
Does it cover debarment and procurement exclusion?
Yes. Alongside sanctions and watchlists, Verifex screens configured debarment and procurement-exclusion sources so a supplier that is excluded from public contracting or debarred can be surfaced during onboarding and review.
Can Verifex help with UFLPA and EU supply-chain due diligence?
Verifex provides the sanctions, ownership, and jurisdiction context and the audit-ready evidence that support UFLPA-style and EU due-diligence files. It is decision-support infrastructure — it does not certify a supply chain as forced-labor-free or guarantee a regulatory outcome.
Can I screen a whole supplier list at once?
Yes. Upload a supplier list in the dashboard or POST it to the batch API. Each supplier is screened and gets its own retrievable Evidence Capsule, and you can export the full set as JSON or CSV for the procurement file.
What is in the supplier evidence export?
Each Evidence Capsule records the query input, the source list versions and hashes that were active at screening time, the screened_at timestamp, the match rationale, the reviewer action, and an audit ID — exportable as JSON or CSV.
Does UBO / beneficial-ownership context come with it?
Yes. Verifex traverses ownership relationships with OFAC 50% rule logic to surface beneficial owners and controlling parties behind a supplier. See the UBO screening API for the ownership-graph workflow.
Is a clear supplier result a guarantee?
No. A clear result means no match was found in the screened sources at screening time. Verifex provides screening infrastructure and data-derived results, not legal or compliance advice, and does not certify or approve a supplier.
