Ownership Intelligence
How a clean counterparty exposes you to sanctions risk.
The OFAC 50% Rule means any entity 50% or more owned by a sanctioned party is itself restricted — even without appearing on any list. Embargo traces the full ownership chain automatically.

We monitor so you don't have to
Our pipeline watches BIS entity list diffs, Federal Register amendments, Dutch MOCIT publications, Japan METI advisories, UK ECJU notices, and EU Official Journal updates — around the clock, every day.
We surface the primary source
We extract the exact text from the agency document — the entity list entry, the rule amendment, the MOCIT notice — and tag it with jurisdiction, action type, and which audience it affects.
You act before your competitors
Instant alerts hit your inbox and Slack within 4 hours, filtered by your keyword watchlist so only changes relevant to your business get through.
Three tools. One subscription.
Entity intelligence, regulatory monitoring, and procurement workflow integration — the compliance stack that used to require enterprise contracts, at $199/month.
36,000+ entities. Every one has an AI analyst note.
Every entity in our registry carries an AI analyst note explaining why it was designated, which programmes apply, and what it means for your industry. Ownership resolution via GLEIF, OFAC Advanced XML, UK Companies House PSC, and SEC Exhibit 21 surfaces parent companies and sibling affiliates where data is available — triggering the exact same flag as a direct hit.

Risk scores in your tools, not another dashboard.
Slack alerts, webhooks, and CSV export drop Embargo into your existing procurement workflow rather than demanding you adopt a new one. Every screen produces a timestamped audit trail and an exportable screening certificate — the defensible record you hand a regulator.

See pricingThe market is barbell-shaped. We sit in the gap.
On one side, massive legacy ERP integrations. On the other, expensive analyst-gated intelligence platforms. Embargo is the modern, self-serve alerting layer in between.
Legacy ERP integrations
e.g. Descartes
- Deep SAP/Oracle/NetSuite integrations
- Months to implement
- Background firewall, not a workflow
Analyst-gated feeds
e.g. Kharon
- Expert-curated intelligence
- Cost scales with headcount
- Sold top-down, enterprise-only
Embargo
self-serve, from $199/mo
- AI analyst notes at software margins
- Live in 5 minutes, no sales call
- Built for the practitioner, not procurement
Straightforward pricing. No surprises.
All plans include a 14-day free trial. No card required — cancel before day 14and you won't be charged a penny.
The Team plan costs less than one hour of outside trade compliance counsel. A single missed entity list addition costs up to $300,000 per violation.
