Iran Connect premium data set in Grid
The Iran Connect data product is designed to assist with complying with the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act (CISADA) of 2010. CISADA expands upon the 1996 Iran Sanctions Act and the Iranian Transaction Regulations administered by the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).
Iran Connect provides detailed, open-sourced profiles of Iran-relevant entities and the associated individuals and organizations tied to those entities. This information is kept current as new information or details emerge. The profiles for each entity include addresses, aliases, connections and relationships to other records, dates of birth when available, and source information.
Iran Connect data is pulled from:
Foreign Chambers of Commerce and Middle East business advocacy journals.
Full-scale public source research of IRGC-affiliated persons and organizations inside and outside Iran and any subsidiaries under their control.
Foreign banks conducting business with the IRGC or IRGC front companies.
Full mining of relevant investigative reporting and key think tank research on Iran.
Highly trained and qualified analysts conduct quality control and review Iran Connect records at all stages of the research and data entry process; review possible client alerts to minimize false positive returns; and domain experts provide an additional level of materiality review.
In our Iran Connect dataset there are many relationships, including affiliates. Grid defines this relationship type as a well-known client, partner, or vendor of the entity concerned. Details of the relationship can be found in the source information section of the Entity Information report.
