Is Screena watchlist agnostic?

Screena is 100% watchlist agnostic. We can source public watchlists also known as Open Source Intelligence lists (OSINT), Commercial Off-The-Shelve (COTS) and private lists. There are no limitations regarding the number and size of lists that can be uploaded.

All lists are automatically mapped and unified with Screena’s named entity data model, requiring no development effort from our clients. Whenever technically feasible, we ensure data normalization across all lists for fields containing dates, countries, or nationalities.

Below are four named records in Screena's JSON format, demonstrating how the same sanctioned individual present in four distinct watchlists is mapped to our unified data model:
