Informational only — not a compliance determination.

Free OFAC tools

Not just a name list — the legal context behind every designation.

Anyone can tell you a name is listed. Bulwark also gives you what to do about it — free: the U.S. General Licenses, statutory exemptions, program authorities, and Treasury FAQs that govern what’s actually permitted. No login.

How it works

From a free lookup to a filed report — on one platform.

Most people arrive to answer one question. Bulwark takes you from there through the rest of the job — screening, monitoring, and reporting. Turn on only what you need.

Platform

Four modules. One platform.

Each module is purpose-built for one part of the compliance stack — reference, research, screening, reporting. Turn them on per account from the Bulwark admin, no separate integration required.

Why Bulwark

Current within minutes. Decisions you can defend. Data that stays yours.

Three things that set the platform apart from broad, data-hungry financial-crime suites.

OFAC intelligence within minutes of publication

Every OFAC SDN and Consolidated change is ingested within five minutes of Treasury publishing it — so the reference layer, your screening, and Recon's research all run against today's lists, not last night's batch. The EU (CFSP), UK (OFSI), and UN consolidated lists are live in research and the free search, ingested minutes after the source list republishes. Recon, the research agent, takes one name, vessel, or company and returns a cited brief streamed live, every claim linked to its source; PEP and Lloyd's vessel enrichment activate when you supply your own provider key.

Reproducible, audit-grade decisions

Screen a payment with Gauntlet and the decision pins the exact OFAC publish dates and list version it ran against, recorded in an append-only audit trail. Reconstruct what the lists looked like the day you screened, and hand an examiner a record they can verify line by line.

Private by architecture

Recon is stateless by default, with zero data retention at the model layer: no customer query and no rendered brief is persisted on our infrastructure unless your account opts in. Operational data is isolated per organization with row-level security. You own your data — we don't aggregate it into a shared database.

02 / How it works

OFAC publishes. You know within five minutes.

Your compliance team shouldn't be the last to find out. Bulwark watches the sanctions lists around the clock, makes sense of what changed, and tells the right people — so nothing slips through.

We watch
Every OFAC list, every minute
The SDN list, consolidated list, sanctions programs, and general licenses — checked for updates around the clock.
We spot what changed
New designations, removals, program amendments, license expirations — flagged the moment OFAC publishes them.
We organize
One clean source of truth
Every person, entity, program, and license — connected so a single search returns the complete picture.
An audit log, scoped to your team
Every change timestamped and tied to its Treasury source. Examiner-ready by default.
Written by a compliance editor
Each material change comes with a one-paragraph explanation written by a credentialed compliance editor — what changed, who it affects, what your team needs to do today.
You act

04 / Trust

Security and audit, built in.

Access controls keep your team's working context private, every change is captured in an audit trail, and every record links back to its Treasury source.

Reference, not a screening tool

The free reference and lookup surfaces — search, programs, lists, general licenses, and editorial guidance — are a reference, not a screening tool: informational only, never a screening decision. Screening lives in the Gauntlet module, where it belongs — with match scores, four-eyes disposition, and an audit trail. That boundary is deliberate: the reference layer stays something your team can consult freely, and every screening decision happens in a workflow built to defend it.

Your team's content stays with your team

Notes, notifications, pinned items, and saved views are accessible only to people you've invited to your organization. Role-based permissions for analysts, compliance officers, admins, and read-only auditors.

An audit trail your examiner can read

Every search, view, export, and edit captured with a timestamp, scoped to your organization. Point-in-time snapshots of any OFAC list on any historical date. Export to PDF or CSV for examiner response.

Treasury is the source of truth

Bulwark structures what OFAC publishes. We don't replace it, paywall it, or claim derivative rights. Every record links back to the original OFAC source so your team can verify directly.

The lists are public. The hard part is keeping a team coordinated around them — knowing what changed, who needs to act, and how. Bulwark is built for that part.
