What is the change?
The UK government has streamlined its sanctions data by consolidating the UK Sanctions List and the OFSI Consolidated List into a single new UK Sanctions List (UKSL).
What this means
This structural change simplifies sanctions reporting. However, data providers have needed to update their systems to correctly ingest and map this information.
Important notes
This change only affects UK sanctions data. There is no impact on:
- Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs)
- Adverse media screening
- Non-UK sanctions lists
Our proactive response
We have worked closely with our data providers to ensure this transition is handled with precision. Our technical and compliance teams have already integrated the updated UKSL data structure into our platform, ensuring that every search you conduct is undertaken against the correct data sources and removing the risk of screening against outdated or incomplete UK sanctions data.
Zero action required from you
No action is required from you. You do not need to change your workflows, update settings, or take any steps. These changes have been automatically applied to your account to ensure seamless service continuity.
Early compliance implementation
The regulatory deadline for these changes is January 28, 2026. However, these updates have already been deployed across our platform, ensuring your business experiences no compliance gap.
This proactive approach means you can continue using our services with full confidence that all regulatory requirements are already met.
Why automated screening beats manual searching
In a constantly shifting regulatory landscape, manual searching on government portals is not only time-consuming but carries a significant risk of human error, especially when data structures change.
By using our automated platform, you benefit from:
- Audit-ready results: Instant, timestamped reports for every check.
- Horizon scanning: We actively monitor global regulatory shifts and changes, making platform updates and improvements proactively so you don’t have to.
- Reliability: Our technology is built to handle complex data migrations like the UKSL update, ensuring your business remains protected 24/7.
