Homeland Security
The Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") of the U.S. Dept. of the Treasury enforces economic and trade sanctions based on foreign policy and national security goals. OFAC blocks interaction with terrorists, international narcotics traffickers and proscribed weapons violators, among others, as well as denying dealings with certain foreign entities.
EBI’s GLOBAL HOMELAND SECURITY SEARCH is designed to provide our clients with the most in-depth and detailed security searches available. In this all-encompassing search, EBI’s Global Homeland Security Search investigates more than 14 separate U.S. and foreign sanctions and watch lists. EBI's Homeland Security Search is a singular suite of security reports impeccably bundled that will lift your organizational screening to the compliance level that the U.S.A. Patriot Act requires.
