What is re-screening?
Running a new watchlist check against a previously screened individual or entity to capture status changes since their last screening.
Plain-English Summary
Why This Matters
A single one-time screen at onboarding is insufficient for ongoing compliance. Government watchlists are updated frequently — sometimes multiple times per day. An individual or company that was clean when first screened can be added to a sanctions list at any point during an active relationship. Re-screening is the mechanism to detect those post-intake status changes.
Explanation Depth
Concept Explanation
When you first add a student, vendor, or visitor to the system, it checks their name against government watchlists. Re-screening means checking again later to see if anything has changed — because government lists are updated frequently.When You'll See This in SecurePoint
In SecurePoint Education, the "Run Re-check" button on party records triggers an immediate manual re-screen against current watchlists. Continuous monitoring handles scheduled re-screening automatically. Any new match generated by re-screening creates a new adjudication case.
What You Should Do Next
For manual re-screening, use the "Run Re-check" action available on party records in the Education Dashboard or visitor management screens. For systematic coverage, configure your organization's continuous monitoring interval (7, 14, 30, or 90 days). Review any new alerts generated by re-screening promptly in the adjudication queue.
