A sanctions screening record logs a name check against the UK sanctions list maintained under SAMLA 2018, enforced by OFSI. anonym.plus removes the customer's name, identifier, 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 coach junior staff on false positives. You strip the customer data from that teaching copy first.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the result in anonym.plus on your device.
- Local OCR reads a scanned alert printout.
- The tool flags the name, identifier, and contacts.
- Keep the list name and match score for the lesson.
- Swap each identifier for a label.
- 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.

Limitations & cautions
OFSI expects you to keep full screening evidence for review. 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.
Frequently asked questions
Should I redact the record I keep for OFSI reviews?
No. Keep the full evidence for any review. Clean only a copy you circulate for training or external review.
Does it handle non-Latin or transliterated names?
Yes. The tool covers 48 languages, so a transliterated name is flagged like any other subject term.
Is the match result uploaded?
No. The app is fully offline. A possible sanctions hit never leaves your machine.
