Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDN)
Individuals, entities and vessels whose property is blocked under US sanctions programmes. The principal US designation list.
Every registered company name in the Cyprus register is compared against the names and aliases published on the OFAC SDN List, the OFAC Consolidated Non-SDN List and the UK Sanctions List. The screen is re-run after each weekly registry import and the result is published here, dated, with the list versions used.
It is a name-match screen. It is not a compliance determination, and a nil result is not a clearance — the exclusions are set out in full below.
Across 0 registered names and 0 published list entries, no normalised name was identical to a listed name or alias on the OFAC SDN List, the OFAC Consolidated Non-SDN List, or the UK Sanctions List at the versions stated above. This does not establish that no Cyprus-registered company is subject to sanctions: entities can be caught by ownership and control tests, listed under EU, UN or Cyprus national measures that this run does not cover, or hold a name that differs in spelling or transliteration from the listed form.
Coverage is stated per list, with the published version used in the latest run. Lists that are not yet screened are named here rather than omitted — for a Cyprus-registered entity the EU regime is the operative one, and its absence is the most significant limitation of this screen today.

Entry counts are the published list sizes at the version stated, before de-duplication of aliases. The UK figure counts entries with a recorded Cyprus nexus; the full list is larger.
The authoritative lists are published by the issuing bodies and are the only versions with legal effect. Each is linked below with what it designates, how it is published and how often it changes. Search the authority’s own tool before acting on anything found here.
Individuals, entities and vessels whose property is blocked under US sanctions programmes. The principal US designation list.
Sectoral, foreign-sanctions-evaders, Chinese military companies and other restrictions that fall short of full blocking.
Persons and entities designated under UK autonomous regimes, with the statutory grounds and identifying attributes for each.
All persons and entities subject to EU restrictive measures. The operative regime for a Cyprus-registered entity.
Individuals and entities subject to measures imposed by the Security Council, binding on all member states including Cyprus.
National implementation and guidance issued by the Unit for the Implementation of Sanctions, including local asset-freeze notices.
Links point to the issuing authorities. CompanyData.com.cy does not republish, mirror or redistribute the lists themselves, and is not affiliated with any of these bodies.
The rule is published in full so any result here can be reproduced or rebutted.
Every registered name from the weekly registry import, including previous names where published; every primary name and published alias from each sanctions list.
Case folded; punctuation, diacritics and whitespace collapsed; legal-form suffixes (LTD, LIMITED, ΛΤΔ, PLC) stripped; Greek script transliterated to Latin.
Normalised strings must be identical. No fuzzy, phonetic or edit-distance matching is applied, so near-misses are neither reported nor suppressed — they are simply not detected.
Each match is published with the registry number, the list entry, the list and version, and the basis of the match, so it can be checked against the authority’s own search.
A name-match screen answers one narrow question: does a registered name coincide with a listed name. Most sanctions exposure does not present that way.
Treat this page as a first-pass indicator that narrows where to look, and run the checks below against the authorities’ own tools before any decision.
Establishing quickly whether an entity name coincides with a listed name before committing analyst time, and dating that check in a file.
Cross-checking a vendor result against an independent, published method with stated list versions.
Obliged entities under Directive (EU) 2015/849 and the Cyprus AML law must screen against the applicable regimes, including EU and UN measures, with ownership tests applied.
Publishing, reporting or acting on a name coincidence as though it were a designation. Verify against the authority’s record first.
A screening result is only meaningful with the date and list versions attached. Past runs stay published so a result cited in a file can be checked later.
No dated run has been recorded yet — the figures above are computed live from the current sync state. Run scripts/run-sanctions-screen.mjs after each weekly sync to start a kept run history.
As at the run of not yet run, no registered Cyprus company name matched a name or alias on the OFAC SDN List, the OFAC Consolidated Non-SDN List, or the UK Sanctions List under our matching rules. A nil result means no name matched — it does not mean no Cyprus company is sanctioned, owned by a sanctioned person, or otherwise restricted.
OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN), OFAC Consolidated Non-SDN, and the UK Sanctions List published by the FCDO. The EU consolidated list and the UN Security Council Consolidated List are not yet screened. Cyprus is an EU member state, so the EU list is the operative regime locally — its absence is a material gap in this screen and is stated rather than omitted.
No. This screen matches legal entity names only. It does not apply the OFAC 50 Percent Rule or the UK ownership and control tests, does not screen directors, shareholders or beneficial owners, and does not detect transliteration variants or renamed entities. It is a first-pass indicator, not a compliance determination.
Both sides are normalised — case folded, punctuation and legal-form suffixes stripped, Greek script transliterated to Latin — and then compared for exact equality. Aliases and previous names published on the sanctions lists are included on the sanctions side. No fuzzy or phonetic matching is applied, so near-misses are not reported.
Weekly, following each registry import, against the sanctions lists as published on the run date. Every run is dated, the list versions used are stated on this page, and past runs remain published so a result cited in a due diligence file can be checked later.
Contact the data protection team with the registry number and the list entry concerned. A reported match is a statement that two names coincide, not an assertion that the company is a designated person; where a coincidence is demonstrated we annotate the entry and record the distinguishing attributes.
