What it does
One name, three lists, one answer.
It tells you whether the name is on the SECO, EU or OFAC sanctions list, after normalising capital letters, accents, punctuation and word order. The check page shows each list’s date.
TAIA Confidential ScreeningLive
Check a name against the sanctions lists, without showing us the name.
For asset managers and trustees
Before an audit, a new client, or a list change.
Exact matches only, and no PEP data. The check does not replace your own screening duty or your records. “Not on the lists” does not mean “not sanctioned”.
Your browser encrypts the name. TAIA’s service compares it with the Swiss SECO list, the OFAC SDN list and the EU consolidated list without decrypting it, and only your browser can open the answer.
Who it is for
Teams that check a name before acting.
A confidential first check: check a name before it goes into a system that stores it. The name is encrypted in your browser and compared without decryption. Exact matches only. It does not replace your own screening duty or your records.
Paid plans are for business use.
What is protected
The name you check.
It is encrypted in your browser and compared while it stays encrypted. The service does not store it. The service still sees that a check arrived, when, and your network address.
What to note after each check
The answer shows the date of each list it was checked against. You can also print a check record with the lists, their dates, the name and the result. For your own file, a short dated note is a simple way to show later what you did:
- which lists you used;
- the date of each list;
- the name exactly as you entered it;
- the result and your decision, with a sentence on why;
- when you checked again.
A possible match only means that the same written name appears on a list. Whether it is the same person is your decision.

Questions
Before you check a name.
Will my auditor accept it?
Your auditor decides. The check record shows the lists, their dates, the name, the match rule and the result; your decision and its reason go in your own note.
Which lists does it check?
Every primary name and alias on the Swiss SECO list (its Latin-script spellings), the OFAC SDN list and the EU consolidated financial sanctions list, as of the dates shown on the check page. UN Security Council designations are included to the extent they are implemented in the Swiss and EU lists; the UN list itself is not a separate list in this service.
Does it find spelling variants?
No. It finds exact matches after normalising capital letters, accents, punctuation and word order. A missing word, a typo or another transliteration is not found. “Not on the lists” does not mean “not sanctioned”.
What does TAIA see?
TAIA’s service compares only the encrypted form of the name and holds no key to decrypt it. It sees that a check arrived, when, and its size, and your network address. This holds for the page’s code as TAIA publishes it; TAIA serves both the page and the service. The full notice is in the privacy policy, section 6b.
Is a possible match a decision?
No. A possible match means the same written name is on a list, not that it is the same person. You decide. This does not replace a full screening tool.
Is this a compliance tool?
No. It is a confidential first check of one name, exact matches only; your screening duty, your review and your records stay with you.
Has the cryptography been reviewed?
The protocol has had no independent cryptography review.
We screen many names, for a firm.
TAIA Screening for firms is not offered; development is paused. The service offered today is TAIA Confidential Screening, described on this page.
