Our Story

Insurance runs on decisions.

The best decisions are powered by intelligence.

SanctionsIQ was created to transform sanctions compliance from a business bottleneck into a competitive advantage for the insurance market.

Today’s sanctions tools were largely built for banks, designed to screen names against lists and generate endless false positives.

But insurance risk is different.

Real sanctions exposure sits within the complexity of global trade, marine cargo, jurisdictions, counterparties, licensing, and fast-moving geopolitical events.

For compliance teams, that means constant pressure, manual analysis, and urgent underwriting decisions that cannot wait.

We built SanctionsIQ to change that.

SanctionsIQ is an AI-powered sanctions intelligence platform designed specifically for insurance. We help underwriters, brokers, and compliance teams make faster, smarter, context-aware decisions — reducing bottlenecks while strengthening risk management.

Founded by Naomi and Hannah, SanctionsIQ is built on real market experience. We have worked across leading insurance, regulatory, and advisory organisations. We understand the operational realities because we have lived them ourselves.

SanctionsIQ is launching initially in Marine Cargo, with a vision to scale across all specialty lines.
