Shortly after the events of September 11, 2001 the USA PATRIOT Act was signed into law to deter and punish terrorist acts in the United States and around the world and to enhance law enforcement investigatory tools to strengthen U.S. measures to prevent, detect and prosecute international money laundering and financing of terrorism.

IST's OFAC and PATRIOT ACT compliance solution performs specialized search services designed to process published terrorist search list data.The overcomes the infinitely numerous techniques used to disguise real identities and needed to process quickly. Utilizing our advanced, multicultural fuzzy search and matching technology, the solution overcomes significant variations such as missing words, out-of-sequence errors, nicknames, abbreviations, phonetic variations, multi-national sources, concatenations and truncations while reducing the incident of false matches.

Our ISTwatch software component suite is a compliance solution that enables systems to quickly search and match individuals against OFAC’s Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list and other denied parties lists, such as the FBI’s most wanted, Canada’s OSFI terrorist lists, the Bank of England’s consolidated lists and Financial Action Task Force data on money laundering countries among other lists. OFAC posts new entities whenever a new individual or organization has been identified as a threat to the United States. Within 24 hours of posting, we make any and all updates available for inclusion into the ISTwatch software components.
