Vantage AI Solutions Sanctions Screener Tool
Tool Description
Turn your uploaded documents into screened, decision-ready profiles. The tool reads your files, extracts the people and organizations inside them, and checks each one against 330+ global sanctions, watch list, and politically-exposed-person sources, and for global adverse media.
Overview
What Vantage AIS Sanctions Screener Does
Vantage AIS Sanctions Screener is a document-based screening platform that helps you check individuals and organizations against global sanctions lists, watch lists, and adverse media — so you can meet your compliance obligations quickly and with confidence.
When you upload a document, the platform automatically:
- Reads the document and identifies every individual or organization named in it, using AI-powered extraction.
- Screens each of them against 330+ official sanctions and watch list sources, including major lists such as OFAC, UN, EU, and UK HM Treasury.
- Expands each profile's network to surface indirect relationships to sanctioned entities that a name-only check would miss.
- Checks for adverse media — negative news, fraud reports, or regulatory action — across 235,000+ global news sources, with an additional AI verification step to filter out false matches.
Every result is presented clearly, with supporting evidence, so your team can make the final call quickly.

Review & export
Confirm hits, explore related networks, and export clean results to PDF or Excel.

Profile review
Every profile, reviewed before you screen
Triage extracted profiles at a glance and fix anything before screening runs.
Confidence at a glance
- A color-banded confidence indicator on every profile — high, medium, or low — for quick visual triage.
- Calibrated to how reliably each document was read, including handwritten and scanned files.
Extraction warnings, in context
- Per-field warnings shown directly beneath the affected field — for example an expired document, an issue date later than an expiry date, or a value that doesn't match elsewhere.
- A warning-count indicator on each profile, so you can see instantly which profiles need a closer look.
- Handwritten documents are extracted on a best-effort basis. As handwriting is harder to read reliably, always verify handwritten entries against the original document.
- Edit any field — including the subject's name — before screening, with a complete edit trail.
Control
Stay in control of every run
Long-running batches, on your terms — with results you can verify at the source.
Run it your way
- Pause, resume, or cancel long-running screenings at any time.
- Keep viewing your earlier results while a new screening run is in progress.
- Filter results by flagged, clear, or all profiles.
Clear, verifiable results
- High-confidence sanctions hits and lower-confidence name similarities are labelled and color-coded distinctly, so strong and weak matches are never confused.
- Every match links directly to the corresponding official sanctions listing, so you can verify it at the source.
Coverage
Screened against the sources that matter
Backed by a continuously updated, aggregated dataset of official sanctions, watch list data, and global media sources.
Entities covered is the roughly 2 million people, companies, and organizations that appear across these sanctions and watchlist sources — the pool every profile is matched against.
Includes leading lists such as OFAC SDN, the UN Security Council consolidated list, the EU consolidated list, UK HM Treasury, and politically-exposed-person (PEP) data — alongside hundreds of additional regulatory and watchlist sources.
Global adverse media screening spans 235,000+ news and media sources worldwide. An additional AI verification step filters out false positives before results are presented to your team.
Trust & privacy
Your data stays yours
Clear, plain-language commitments about how your information is handled.
Never used to train AI
Nothing you upload — documents, profiles, or results — is used to train, fine-tune, or improve any AI model, by us or anyone else.
We share only what's needed
Sanctions and adverse-media checks run against specialist data providers over encrypted connections. We send only the details needed to screen a person — name, and where provided date of birth, nationality, and ID numbers — never your full documents, and never to be sold or used to train AI.
You control retention
You decide what's kept. Delete any screening — along with its uploaded documents and extracted profiles — from your screening list at any time. Account owners can permanently delete the entire organization and all its data from Profile settings. Deletions are immediate and cannot be undone.
Reading your documents
To extract profiles, document text is processed by a trusted AI provider under agreements that exclude it from training and delete it after a brief security window.
Please don't upload
Payment card or bank account numbers, medical or health records, biometric data, information about anyone under 18, or passwords and login credentials. The tool is built for business-context screening data only.
Usage
Understanding your token allowance
Tokens are the unit the system uses to measure usage. Your organization's plan includes a fixed token allowance, shared across your team, for its duration.
Two things draw from your token allowance:
- Document processing — every document you upload for extraction uses tokens.
- Profile screening — every individual or organization identified within your documents is screened for sanctions, network relationships, and adverse media, which also draws from the same allowance.
Because of this, your actual usage will vary depending on:
- How many pages each document has.
- How many individuals or organizations are identified per document — a single incorporation document, for example, may contain several related profiles.
- How many of those profiles require deeper adverse-media verification.
The capacity figures on your plan are a general guide based on typical usage patterns, not a guaranteed document count. Your remaining token allowance is always visible from your dashboard.
Built for volume
Ingest thousands of KYC documents in bulk batches.
*You can process up to 5,000 documents. Profile figures are a guide based on typical usage.
Once your token allowance is used, no further documents can be processed until you renew or upgrade your plan. You can monitor your remaining usage anytime from your dashboard.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What counts as a "document"?
Any file you upload for screening — a passport, a KYC pack, incorporation documents, and so on.
What is a "profile"?
An individual or organization identified within a document. A single document can contain more than one profile — for example, an incorporation document listing several directors.
Can I check my remaining usage?
Yes — your remaining token allowance is always visible from your dashboard.
What if I need more capacity than my plan provides?
You can upgrade anytime, or contact us to discuss a custom solution for your needs.
Are the screening results final?
No. Every result must be independently reviewed and validated by qualified compliance personnel or legal counsel before any determination is made or acted upon.
