Enlighta Sanctions Screening review
A vendor-focused screening product with named-list coverage, workflows and API connectivity.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Enlighta Sanctions Screening is a vendor-focused compliance capability within the Enlighta platform. It automates sanctions and politically exposed person screening for third parties during vendor onboarding and ongoing risk management. Procurement, compliance and third-party risk teams can screen vendor information against UN, EU, DFAT and OFAC watchlists, along with other law-enforcement lists. The product also supports AML/CTF compliance verification and configurable compliance and risk workflows.
Pricing is based on contacting sales, so organizations should assess commercial fit directly with Enlighta. The product is available through web and API access, with REST and SOAP connectivity for enterprise systems. It can also integrate with external sanctions and PEP data, giving teams a way to connect screening with existing vendor-risk and compliance processes. Ongoing monitoring is included in the product specifications, which supports continued review after onboarding rather than limiting screening to a single initial check.
The main strength is its combination of named-list screening, PEP coverage, workflow configuration and enterprise integration in a vendor-risk context. That focus should suit organizations managing third-party onboarding and ongoing supplier oversight. Teams seeking a broader screening scope should review whether the product matches their operating model, particularly where transaction screening, batch screening or user-configurable list selection are central requirements. Enlighta Sanctions Screening is a practical fit for organizations that need automated vendor screening connected to compliance workflows; it is less suited to buyers looking for a clearly published price or a product positioned around transaction-level screening.
