Common FAQs

  • Yes, KYC penetration testing is an add-on that actively tests compliance systems by simulating high-risk scenarios and assessing performance. Unlike regular KYC/sanctions screening which checks entities against various watchlists, KYC penetration testing proactively identifies overall compliance system vulnerabilities—revealing gaps before regulators find them.

  • No, KPT is far more robust! OFAC geo-fencing only targets sanctioned IPs. KPT is a full, automated testing suite that determines whether a KYC process actually protects an organization from sanctioned and high risk individuals and entities, sanctioned IPs, and those using altered or fake business information.

  • KYC Penetration Testing is the right choice when you manage multiple vendors, partners, face heightened regulatory scrutiny, or need proof — not promises — that your compliance safeguards actually work and high-risk actors can’t access your ecosystem. Choose KYC Penetration Testing to discover your partners' compliance gaps before regulators do.
