Product context is educational relevance, not a feature-status or compliance claim.
What is a match-confidence score?
A similarity score produced by a matching system; it is not a probability that a sanctions violation or true identity match exists.
Plain-English Summary
Why This Matters
Similarity scores help prioritize review, but they should not replace identity resolution. OFAC states that users must determine their own match thresholds based on the facts, internal risk assessments, and compliance practices. A lower threshold returns a broader result set; it does not mean lower-scoring parties are automatically safe.
Explanation Depth
Concept Explanation
A match score tells you how similar two names look to the screening system. It does not tell you with certainty that they are the same person or company. Reviewers still compare the details behind the names.When You'll See This in SecurePoint
In SecurePoint Visitor, match scores can flow into the adjudication queue as review context. Across SecurePoint products, a score is not an automated clearance or blocking decision; the owning workflow records the human review outcome separately.
What You Should Do Next
Use the score to organize review, then inspect the source record and compare available identifiers. Apply your organization’s documented threshold and review procedures, and record why the potential match was cleared, escalated, or otherwise resolved.
