Sanctions Screening Record Redaction with anonym.plus

Finance Solution · AML, Fraud & Financial Crime · OFAC (31 CFR 501)

A sanctions screening record logs a name check against OFAC lists under 31 CFR 501. anonym.plus removes the customer's name, ID, and contacts from that result on your device. The match logic and list source stay clear while the private data is shielded.

When this applies

A compliance lead circulates a hit result to train junior staff on false positives. You strip the customer data from that teaching copy first.

How anonym.plus handles it

1. Open the result in anonym.plus on your device.
2. Local OCR reads a scanned alert printout.
3. The tool flags the name, ID, and contacts.
4. Keep the list name and match score for the lesson.
5. Swap each identifier for a label.
6. Save the clean copy locally.

What you need to provide

• The screening result (PDF, DOCX, or scan).
• An operator (Replace keeps the logic readable).
• Optional allow-list for the list source name.

PII & financial identifiers detected

Compliance achieved

• Removes customer data from a record kept under 31 CFR 501.
• Keeps the list source and match score for analyst study.
• Offline work keeps a possible match off any third-party server.
• Covers 340+ PII types across 48 languages for cross-border names.

Limitations & cautions

OFAC rules require you to keep full screening evidence for examiners. Redact only copies meant for training or outside review. A rare name plus a city can still point to one person, so check the residual context.
