What is re-screening?
Running a new screening check on a party that was screened previously, usually because time has passed, a list changed, or another risk trigger occurred.
Plain-English Summary
Why This Matters
A prior clear result only reflects the data and facts available at that earlier point. OFAC notes that the SDN List is updated frequently with no predetermined timetable, and its broader compliance framework expects risk-based controls to adapt to changes in sanctions risk.
Explanation Depth
Concept Explanation
A person or company can be clear today and appear on a government list later. Re-screening means checking again with newer data. How often that happens depends on the rules that apply to your organization and on its own risk assessment. The OFAC materials cited here do not set a single interval, so if a rule that applies to you does set one, follow that.When You'll See This in SecurePoint
SecurePoint Education uses scheduled 30- or 90-day re-screening, defaulting to 30 days. SecurePoint Visitor has a separate feature-gated scheduled-screening system for workforce and vendor subjects using organization-configured intervals. Those product cadences are not regulatory requirements and should not be conflated.
What You Should Do Next
Check first whether any applicable rule, contract, regulator, or program imposes a cadence; where one does, that requirement controls. Otherwise define re-screening triggers and frequency from the organization’s risk assessment, counterparties, transaction activity, applicable regulator guidance, and list-change exposure. Document the cadence and revisit it when the risk profile or source-update pattern changes.
