Post-screening policies

Post-screening policies automatically handle transactions based on their screening results. Each policy defines when it should apply (criteria) and what action to take when it matches.

Manual Review (Coming soon)• Enable transactions to be reviewed by your team before being approved or rejected.

When Screening has the scan results:

  • Due to overlap prevention rules, at most one policy will match any given transaction
  • A policy matches when the transaction’s direction, risk level, and amount range match the policy’s criteria
  • When a match is found, Screening executes that policy’s action
If no policy matches, the transaction is automatically proceeded without risk assessment. To ensure proper risk management, make sure to set up appropriate policies that cover all your transaction scenarios before using Screening.

Creating, editing, and deleting policies

Creating policies

To create a new policy:

  1. Go to the Post-Screening Policies interface
  2. Click Create Policy
  1. Define policy criteria and action (see Policy criteria and Policy actions)
  2. Click Submit to enable the policy

Overlap prevention rules

The system prevents creation of overlapping policies. A policy cannot be created if it has all of the following in common with an existing active policy:

  • Same direction (Inbound/Outbound)
  • Same risk level
  • Overlapping amount range

For example:

Policy 1: Inbound + Medium risk + ≥ 500 + < 1000 USD (Valid)
Policy 2: Inbound + Medium risk + ≥ 400 + < 7000 USD (Invalid - amount range overlaps with Policy 1)
Policy 2: Inbound + Medium risk + ≥ 600 + < 700 USD (Invalid - amount range overlaps with Policy 1)
Policy 2: Inbound + Medium risk + ≥ 1000 + < 7000 USD (Valid - amount range does not overlap)
Policy 3: Outbound + Medium risk + ≥ 1000 + < 7000 USD (Valid - different direction)

The policy examples above are for illustration purposes only. Your actual policies should be tailored to your organization’s specific compliance requirements and risk management strategy.

For guidance on risk assessment and policy creation, refer to CipherOwl’s Address Risk Score documentation or consult with their compliance experts via CipherOwl’s website.
