Government Sanctions and Terrorist Watch Lists

Checking government sanctions and terrorist watch lists help companies to meet federal requirements in an increasing number of industries.

  • Protect Company Reputation - Government sanctions checks allow companies to uncover any federal sanctions that have been levied against potential and/or current employees.
  • Protect Safety of Employees & Public - Screening applicants against terrorist watch lists is absolutely critical for companies who deal with sensitive information, hazardous materials, or any other item that if compromised could pose a threat to the health and welfare of company employees or the general public.
