| Fact | Nexiel Screen | OpenSanctions |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage | Sanctions data includes OFAC SDN, the UN Security Council Consolidated List, EU FISMA, and HMT UK, refreshed daily. | The licensing page lists 30 entity types, more than 470 sources and over 47 million facts. |
| Integrations | Official TypeScript and Python SDKs cover every Screen API and Verify API endpoint. | Documented integration options include OpenRefine, Senzing exports, OpenAPI-generated clients and the Taktile platform partnership. |
| Matching | Its self-hosted matching engine uses exact, full-text, Levenshtein fuzzy, and Double Metaphone phonetic matching; a fifth AI similarity layer is still in shadow mode. | The /match endpoint returns ranked candidates and supports screening queries using details such as names, dates of birth, nationality, or tax identifiers. |
| Privacy | When an evidence-pack key is registered, the pack is encrypted to the customer's key, delivered once, and not persisted by Nexiel. | OpenSanctions says on-premise matching lets customers keep customer personally identifiable information within their own environment. |
