As global sanctions regimes grow increasingly complex and regulatory scrutiny tightens, financial institutions are realizing that static lists no longer cut it. What they truly need is trusted, traceable data backed by powerful AI to navigate compliance with speed and accuracy. In response to this evolving challenge, Quantifind, a leading name in AI-powered risk intelligence, has announced a strategic partnership with OpenSanctions, a globally respected source for transparent and high-quality sanctions and watchlist data.
This collaboration marks a major leap forward for compliance teams worldwide. By integrating OpenSanctions’ robust, graph-based data directly into Quantifind’s Graphyte platform, users now have access to an unparalleled combination of data accuracy, provenance, and AI-driven analysis—helping institutions identify and mitigate financial crime risk more effectively than ever before.

Adam Mulliken, Chief Product Officer at Quantifind, underscored the importance of this development. “Sanctions compliance today requires a level of rigor that goes far beyond checking names off a list. Our partnership with OpenSanctions delivers traceable, vetted data that complements the deep intelligence of our AI platform. The result is more accurate risk detection, faster responses, and smarter, more scalable compliance.”
Friedrich Lindenberg, the founder of OpenSanctions, shared a similar perspective, highlighting that in today’s compliance environment, trust and transparency aren’t just nice to have they’re essential. ‘Institutions need to know the data they rely on is solid and traceable,’ he said. ‘When you’re dealing with high-stakes decisions, there’s no room for guesswork. “Institutions need to know they’re working with data they can rely on. Our collaboration with Quantifind empowers organizations with complete visibility into their risk data where it came from, how it was compiled, and why it matters. That’s a game-changer in the battle against financial crime.”

OpenSanctions brings a unique strength to the table: its ability to unify and deduplicate data from more than 290 sources across the globe, creating a single, coherent model. Every piece of information is fully traceable to its origin and updated through automated pipelines. When paired with Quantifind’s Graphyte platform—built with advanced entity resolution, name science, and deep risk typologies the result is a new standard in sanctions screening: fewer false positives, more meaningful alerts, and a clearer picture of real risk.
What makes this partnership especially powerful is the shared vision that underpins it. Both Quantifind and OpenSanctions are driven by a mission to bring clarity and accountability to a space often clouded by complexity. Whether it’s fighting global corruption, strengthening compliance frameworks, or facilitating cross-sector collaboration through initiatives like Quantifind’s Convergence collective, the two organizations are aligned in purpose.
And the partnership doesn’t stop at sanctions. Looking ahead, both companies plan to tackle some of the most urgent and emerging challenges in the risk landscape from mapping sanctions evasion networks to uncovering illicit crypto activity and countering malign state influence. It’s an ambitious roadmap, but with the combined force of powerful AI and trusted data, it’s also a realistic one.
For compliance professionals looking for modern tools to meet modern threats, the integration of OpenSanctions into Quantifind’s Graphyte platform is more than just a feature update—it’s a transformation.
