THE PAIN

Where sanctions programmes quietly go wrong.

Screening engines are only as good as the lists that feed them. Vendor files arrive on the vendor's schedule, not the regulator's. Nobody can prove the vendor file matches what the source published. Internal lists live in spreadsheets with no approval trail. When a designation wave hits, the first warning is the alert spike, and when an auditor asks for the list as it stood on a given date, the lookback becomes a project. Every one of those gaps is a control gap with a regulator's name on it.

THE MODULE

From list administration to list intelligence.

Direct from source, in near real time. FabriK monitors regulatory sources directly including EU, OFAC, HMT and UN publications, and ingests updates within minutes of publication rather than waiting on data-provider lead times.

Reconciliation you can show an auditor. Vendor lists are reconciled against sanctions lists at source, so you can evidence that what you screen against is what the regulator published: no silent gaps, no silent duplicates.

Data quality before it becomes alert noise. Comprehensive profiling and quality checks on every list, with transformations applied before ingestion, so bad entries are fixed before they generate a week of false positives.

Internal lists, properly governed. Global and local internal lists with full data segregation, validation at entry, and multi-level approval workflow with four-eye checks. No more spreadsheet lists with no owner.

Versioning and point-in-time retrieval. Record-level history on every list. Retrieve the exact list as it stood on any date, with field-level changes, which turns lookback projects into a query.

List landscape governance. One view of every list in use, with rationale and approvals recorded. The governance trail exists because the system creates it.

INTELLIGENCE LAYER

Know the impact before the lists land.

Simulate what a list change will do to your alert volumes before it goes live: forecast spikes from designation waves, surface the likely top-hitting entries, and flag data quality issues while they are still upstream of your screening engines. One consistent methodology, one comparable view across all engines, captured and auditable.

The first warning of a designation wave should not be the alert spike. It should be a forecast that gives your operations team time to prepare.

VESSEL INTELLIGENCE

See the network risk behind the names.

Screening a name tells you whether it is listed. It does not tell you that a counterparty in your book is two ownership hops from a sanctioned entity, or that a vessel connected to your customer's trade finance exposure has just gone dark in a high-risk zone.

FabriK fuses licensed maritime and ownership data with your own customers, lists and transactions to produce customer-anchored alerts: not "this vessel entered a high-risk zone" but "this vessel matters to you, here is the customer, the exposure and the linkage, with the evidence attached." A lookup tells you about the vessel. This tells you about your risk.

The data providers answer "tell me about this vessel." The Watch List Management module answers "which of my customers is exposed, and why."

DEPLOYMENT

Runs standalone, in front of whatever you screen with.

Watch List Management sits upstream of your screening engines and is engine-agnostic: it imports from any source and exports to any filter, in whatever format your engines expect. It does not require any other FabriK module. Integration is via the Integration Hub's standard connectors and APIs; typical deployments are live in weeks, configured self-service by your own team.

BETTER TOGETHER

What it gains when the platform is connected.

With Transaction Filtering and Name Screening

List changes flow straight into screening with zero handoff, and impact assessment reads your real matching context rather than a sample.

With KYC & Client Risk

A list change that touches one of your customers can trigger a risk rating reassessment automatically.

With Case Management

Every list decision and every network-intelligence alert lands in the same case record and audit trail as the rest of your financial crime operation.

With AEGIS

Agents handle the routine of list operations under your SOPs: triaging delta alerts, drafting impact summaries, preparing the evidence pack for the human approver.

Take it alone today. Everything above is configuration later, not a new project.

GOVERNANCE

A control environment, not just a console.

Immutable audit trail

Every import, transformation, approval and export is logged.

Four-eye checks

Approval workflows enforce four-eye checks on internal list changes.

Point-in-time evidence

Versioned exports give you point-in-time evidence for auditors and lookbacks.

List landscape view

Documents why every list is in use and who approved it. When the regulator asks, the answer is a report, not a reconstruction.

Bring your worst list problem.

Designation-wave spikes, vendor-file doubts, spreadsheet internal lists, lookback dread: pick one and we will show you how a leading European bank runs it instead.
