Frequently asked
Is Cresthaven Analytics good for trade compliance officers and export-control counsel?
Yes — covers 11 sanctions, export-control, and trade-policy agencies including OFAC, BIS, USTR, ITC, EU Council/Commission, UK OFSI, India DGFT, Australia DFAT, EU Trade Defense, Japan METI, ASEAN Secretariat. Material designations and rulings arrive within minutes of agency publication as structured executive briefs. Designed for trade-compliance officers at multinationals, export-control counsel at law firms, supply-chain managers, and sanctions teams at lean financial firms.
Does Cresthaven Analytics cover OFAC sanctions designations?
Yes — OFAC is covered along with BIS export controls, UK OFSI designations, EU Council sanctions packages, and Australia DFAT designations. Each material SDN designation or sanctions program update arrives as a structured brief with the underlying designation rationale, scope, and exposure implications. Cresthaven delivers intelligence on what was designated; for screening operational systems against the SDN list, pair Cresthaven with a screening API like ComplyAdvantage or Dow Jones Risk & Compliance.
What's the cheapest Cresthaven tier for sanctions and trade monitoring?
Basic at $149/month covers 3 agencies. A typical sanctions-focused setup is OFAC + BIS + UK OFSI, or OFAC + EU Council + UK OFSI for global financial-services exposure. Add export-control coverage (USTR, ITC, India DGFT) at $29/month each up to 3 more (max 6 agencies total). For comprehensive cross-jurisdictional trade-compliance coverage, Professional at $399/month covers 6 agencies with daily digests and cross-agency synthesis.
How does Cresthaven Analytics compare to ComplyAdvantage or World-Check for sanctions intelligence?
ComplyAdvantage and World-Check are screening systems — they match counterparty names against the SDN list and adjacent watchlists. Cresthaven Analytics is an intelligence layer — when OFAC designates a new entity or updates a program, you get a structured brief explaining the designation rationale, scope, and exposure implications. The two solve different problems and pair well. Cresthaven explains what changed; a screening system catches exposure operationally.
