Sanctions Policy Monitor is an AI worker that tracks changes to sanctions and export controls in real-time.
It filters regulatory updates through your business context and alerts on changes requiring action.
What is Sanctions Policy Monitor?
- Regulatory Intelligence Engine. The Sanctions Policy Monitor is an AI worker that continuously tracks changes to sanctions regimes, export control lists, and trade restrictions across global jurisdictions. It alerts when changes affect your business.
- The Compliance Velocity Problem. Sanctions and export controls change constantly - new designations, license requirements, and policy guidance emerge daily. Manual tracking is impossible. A single missed update can result in violations carrying criminal penalties.
- Beyond List Checking. The agent doesn't just screen against current lists. It monitors proposed rules, enforcement trends, and policy statements that signal upcoming changes, enabling proactive compliance adjustment.
- Business Context. Generic regulatory feeds are overwhelming. The agent filters changes through your business context - products, markets, counterparties - alerting only on changes that require action.
Replaces:
- Manual monitoring of Federal Register and foreign government publications.
- Consultant updates that arrive after changes take effect.
- Reactive compliance adjustments after violations occur.
- Generic regulatory feeds that overwhelm without context.
- Missed updates from changes published in foreign languages.

Why Sanctions Policy Monitor?
- Proactive Compliance. Changes take effect immediately upon publication. The agent alerts within hours of announcements, enabling compliance adjustment before transactions proceed under outdated rules.
- Risk Reduction. Sanctions violations carry severe penalties including criminal prosecution. Early awareness of changes prevents inadvertent violations from processing transactions under outdated compliance parameters.
- Competitive Intelligence. Understanding how sanctions affect competitors and markets informs strategy. The agent provides context on how changes impact your industry and trade lanes.
- Efficiency. Manual regulatory monitoring requires dedicated compliance staff. The agent automates surveillance across dozens of sources, freeing compliance teams for analysis and implementation.
How It Works
Workflow Automation
How Sanctions Policy Monitor integrates with your systems
Crawls OFAC and BIS updates on a schedule, uses AI to parse policy changes, and distributes advisory briefs to the compliance team.
- Source Monitoring. The agent monitors official sources - OFAC, BIS, EU, UN - plus secondary sources like industry publications and enforcement actions. It processes updates in multiple languages.
- Change Detection. Natural language processing identifies substantive changes - new designations, license requirements, policy guidance, enforcement actions - distinguishing from routine administrative updates.
- Business Relevance Filtering. Changes are analyzed against your business profile - products, markets, counterparties. Only relevant changes requiring attention are surfaced as alerts.
- Impact Analysis. For relevant changes, the agent provides impact summaries explaining what changed, why it matters, and recommended compliance actions.
