Unmatched Sanction, PEP & Enforcement Screening for the United Arab Emirates

Deep, Curated Coverage. Built for Compliance in the Emirates.

While the UAE maintains just one official sanctions list, the real compliance risk lies in what’s not published — and that’s where Idenfo Direct delivers a powerful edge.

Our UAE-specific screening solution goes beyond surface-level data to bring you the most extensive PEP and enforcement coverage in the country, designed specifically for businesses operating across all seven Emirates in the UAE.

In the absence of public prosecution data or easily accessible enforcement lists, our research team — including dedicated journalists and analysts — has assembled over 200+ high-integrity lists covering:

01

Sanctions (local, regional and international)

02

Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) and RCAs

03

Enforcement and Special Interest Entities

04

State-Owned Enterprises, Government Bodies & RCAs

05

Judiciary, Law Enforcement, Armed Forces, Bureaucrats & Public Servants

06

Adverse Media for when considering reputational concerns

Unlike global providers who rely solely on public data or international lists like OFAC or UN Sanctions, Idenfo Direct curates profiles from regional news, research, and investigative sources — giving you a level of precision and local depth that no competitor offers.

UAE-Specific PEP Coverage: The Gold Standard

Our UAE PEP profiles include:

  • Full political and family structures — including multi-generational relationships
  • Deep ties to ruling families, government ministries, military, police and regulatory authorities
  • Coverage across governmental authorities and departments, with links into state owned enterprises

Each PEP profile is not just a name — it's a risk map. We go beyond titles to trace influence through familial, political, and institutional connections.
