Identity data varies by authority
Names, aliases, addresses, registration numbers, dates, and historical depth are not uniformly available. A name search is a review input, not proof of identity.
Coverage & methodology
Know which evidence supports each screening outcome.
Embargo supports sources across 10 regulatory jurisdictions and blocs, but not every source performs the same job. Inspect what feeds screening, what feeds regulatory-change monitoring, how evidence is processed, and where the boundaries remain.
- Supported jurisdictions and blocs
- 10
- Configured registry source families
- 9
- Catalogued regulatory list families
- 17
Counts describe configured source coverage, not live source health or universal data completeness. Priority alert feeds are scheduled to be polled every four hours; that cadence is not a source-publication or delivery SLA.
Capability map
Coverage depends on the product function.
Screening registry means a configured source contributes party records to the published registry. Change monitoring means a configured external feed contributes regulatory notices or change signals. “Not configured” is explicit; it is not converted into a negative finding.

Evidence method
From authority publication to reviewable record.
Each layer has a different evidentiary role. Derived analysis can explain stored facts, but it cannot silently rewrite an authority record or manufacture missing identity evidence.
- 01
Authority record
Collect a supported government list, notice, or publication while retaining its source identity and available publication evidence.
- 02
Normalized identity
Normalize names and identifiers without silently merging two parties that have conflicting non-null countries.
- 03
Registry publication
Validate and publish a versioned registry artifact with integrity evidence before it becomes the screening baseline.
- 04
Match and review
Compare the submitted identity with available records, expose candidates and uncertainty, and keep incomplete checks out of no-match outcomes.
- 05
Decision evidence
Keep authority facts, relationship evidence, reviewed analysis, and the customer decision distinguishable in the resulting record.
Boundaries
What the coverage does not establish.
Ownership is evidence-bounded
Displayed relationships are limited to sourced, reviewable evidence. Missing ownership evidence is not represented as proof that no relevant ownership exists.
Change monitoring and registry coverage differ
A regulatory-change feed can support alerts without adding a screening list. A registry source can support screening without a separate change-alert feed.
Coverage is not legal clearance
Embargo does not determine transaction legality, licence requirements, item classification, end use, or every ownership-based restriction from a direct name check.
Report a suspected data issue or ask about a source contract. Corrections are investigated against stored and primary-source evidence.
