Who Should Take this Training
This training is designed for anyone who could inadvertently expose your business to sanctions risk – whether through shipments, payments, contracts, or communications. It's especially critical for companies operating in or near high-risk regions, or dealing with dual-use goods, sensitive industries, or cross-border transactions. Courses are tailored by industry, region, and risk profile, so every employee gets the content that's relevant to their role – and their exposure.
What Your Teams Will Master
Sanctions violations can happen without warning. This training helps employees recognize restricted parties, prohibited activities, and embargoed regions – before deals go through.
Global Sanctions Frameworks
Understand how OFAC, UN, EU, and UK sanctions differ, and how to stay compliant across jurisdictions.
Restricted Parties and Denied Lists
Learn how to screen customers, suppliers, and third parties correctly, using up-to-date lists and re-screening practices.
Sanctioned and Embargoed Destinations
Identify which countries are subject to sanctions or embargos and understand how these rules apply to goods, services, and technical information.
Red Flag Indicators
Spot evasive language, unusual payment terms, or end-use concerns that may signal a hidden sanctions violation.
Licensing
Understand when licenses are required, what general licenses allow, and how to apply for authorization when needed.
Smarter Imports. Stronger Compliance.
Avoid Catastrophic Fines
Sanctions violations can lead to multi-million-dollar penalties – even when unintentional. Our training teaches employees how to spot problems before they escalate.
Real-Time Regulatory Updates
Our courses are updated continuously to reflect the latest changes from OFAC, EU, and other authorities – so your team never operates on outdated knowledge.
Tailored by Industry and Geography
Whether you're a financial institution, a manufacturer, or a defense contractor, your team learns based on where they operate and what they do – not generic content.
