Sanctions screening redaction is the removal of personal data from a compliance record. OFAC reporting rules (31 CFR 501) govern blocked-property and rejected-transaction reports. anonym.plus strips customer names and account IDs on your device.
When this applies
A monitoring tool flags a possible match against a sanctions list. To share the case for review or training, you clear the customer data but keep the match decision.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the screening record in anonym.plus on your device.
- The tool flags customer name, account, and contacts.
- The match decision and basis stay untouched.
- Swap each confirmed item for a steady label.
- Save the clean record on your device.
What you need to provide
- The record (PDF, CSV, or compliance export).
- An operator (Mask keeps part of an account visible).
- Optional label map to keep one customer steady.

Limitations & cautions
OFAC reporting itself needs full identifiers in the clear. It suits internal review copies, not the report to OFAC. Confirm the use case before you redact a such a file.
Frequently asked questions
Can I redact the report sent to OFAC?
No. An OFAC report needs full identifiers. It suits internal review or training copies, not the regulatory filing itself.
Will the match decision survive?
Yes. The match basis and decision stay. Only personal data such as customer name and account changes.
Can I keep part of an account number?
Yes. The Mask operator hides most digits and leaves a few, so reviewers can match records without the full number.
