Kharon Compliance vs OFACScreen

Kharon Compliance provides risk intelligence for sanctions compliance, export-control due diligence, and supply-chain risk management. Its ClearView web platform supports KYC, sanctions, compliance investigations, and due diligence. Users can search entities, examine ownership and relationship networks, and review Dynamic Exposure Scores showing proximity to sanctioned or trade-restricted parties. Visual explanations identify relationships, pathways, and sources behind each score. ClearView cites verified sources and documents findings to support an audit trail; Kharon says researched facts are validated by subject-matter experts. Regulatory status is shown across the US, EU, UK, UN, Canada, Australia, Japan, Switzerland, and South Korea. Risk domains include sanctions, export controls, forced labor, investment risk, research security, FOCI, counter-proliferation, and third-party due diligence. GraphCast supplies curated, continuously maintained datasets for screening and monitoring, while CoreStream provides ongoing insights tailored to responsibilities. The API supports custom applications and workflows. Named integrations include Descartes, e2open, AIAG, Altana, NQC, and Resilinc. Kharon serves financial institutions, corporations, government agencies, asset managers, defense and aerospace organizations, universities, and professional services firms. Pricing is available on request.

OFACScreen screens people and organizations against sanctions lists for US businesses. It covers eight sources: OFAC SDN and Non-SDN, BIS, UN, EU, UK OFSI, Canada SEMA and Swiss SECO. The lists refresh automatically each day, and fuzzy matching is designed to account for transliterations, aliases, alternate spellings and other name differences. Screening is available on the web or through a REST API, including on the trial; API batch requests can contain up to 100 names. Users can also upload CSV files, with row limits that depend on the plan. Saved names are checked daily, with email alerts for matches. Paid plans keep timestamped search records and allow CSV export of the audit trail. Free searches allow 25 searches per day per IP without an account or saved history. A one-time report is $9.99, paid once. Starter costs $49 a month billed annually, and the 14-day trial includes 25 searches, three users, five monitored names and API access. The privacy policy says audit logs stay for seven years and uploaded CSV files are deleted within 30 days.
