Sanctions Sentinel
Screens NetSuite vendors and customers against OFAC, EU EEAS, and BIS sanctions lists. Generates audit-ready compliance certificates inside your ERP.
Comparing options? 6 ways to screen NetSuite parties for sanctions
Built for people who live inside NetSuite all day.
Paying a sanctioned vendor or shipping to an embargoed entity carries large regulatory fines. Sanctions Sentinel checks NetSuite Vendor and Customer records against OFAC, BIS, and EU EEAS sanctions lists on every save, re-screens your full master file nightly, and generates an audit-ready compliance certificate you can pull for any transaction.
What it does, specifically.
This is what Sanctions Sentinel actually does, step by step.
Live OFAC & EU list matching
Cross-references entity names, addresses, and registration numbers against official US Treasury (SDN) and EU Consolidated Financial Sanctions lists.
Record onboarding screening
Runs a normalized match check the moment a Vendor, Customer, or Partner record is created or updated, then a deep fuzzy screen of the full master file in the nightly batch.
Audit-ready KYC reports
Generates timestamped PDF compliance certificates using NetSuite N/render and stores audit logs on the entity record for auditors.
Transaction hold safeguard
Places a payment hold on Vendor Bills or an order fulfillment hold on Sales Orders if a high-confidence sanctions match is detected.
How to Get Running
Install in three steps. No consultants.
Install the SuiteApp

Runs inside your NetSuite. Your data doesn't go anywhere.
Sanctions Sentinel runs as native SuiteScript 2.1 inside your own tenant. No data leaves your NetSuite account. When a tool needs an external connection, it authenticates with NetSuite OAuth 2.0.

How frequently are sanction lists updated?
Official list feeds sync every 6 hours into a local NetSuite Custom Record table via HTTPS. Newly designated entities are picked up on the next scheduled run.
