Through OFAC, the U.S. Treasury Department administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions based on U.S. foreign policy and national security goals. Of specific interest to OFAC are countries and individuals engaged in terrorism, international narcotics trafficking, those engaged in activities related to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and other threats to the national security, foreign policy or economy of the United States.

By incorporating this sanctions background check into your employment screening, ERS can identify whether any job candidate is on the government’s OFAC watch list. This employment investigation is especially relevant to multinational companies or companies hiring foreign staff.

This data includes the history of persons of political interest dating as far back as the 1700s and includes target data from over 1,000 sources with more than 3 million records. Official authorities maintain and update these records.

The Global Adverse Media component searches thousands of global news sources, capturing articles of interest from breaking news, current events and relevant media dating back to the early 1900s.
