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
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.
