What is monitoring?
An ongoing compliance control that watches for changed sanctions or restricted-party risk through scheduled or event-triggered re-screening and review.
Plain-English Summary
Why This Matters
Sanctions lists and risk conditions change. OFAC’s framework expects risk-based controls to be updated as sanctions programs and lists change, while OFAC separately notes that its sanctions lists can change on an irregular schedule. Ongoing monitoring is one way an organization can respond to that changing risk.
Explanation Depth
Concept Explanation
Monitoring means checking existing parties again over time so changes do not go unnoticed. It might run on a schedule or after certain events. It is only useful if new alerts are actually reviewed.When You'll See This in SecurePoint
In SecurePoint Education, monitoring is scheduled 30/90-day batch re-screening, default 30, and should not be described as real-time. In SecurePoint Visitor, Continuous Monitoring is a separate add-on built on scheduled workforce/vendor screening and alert/case policies; its monitoring action modes are alert-oriented rather than automatic compliance blocks.
What You Should Do Next
Choose monitoring triggers and frequency based on the organization’s risk assessment and document what happens when a new potential match appears. Reevaluate the schedule and controls when the business, counterparties, jurisdictions, or source-update patterns change.
