Export controls don’t care
who you think you’re selling to.
Technology companies face an expanding web of BIS entity list restrictions, end-use controls, and FOCI requirements. Sayari maps the ownership behind your customers and partners so you know when a deal creates a compliance risk — before the license application or the audit.
The exposure your current tools don’t surface.
BIS Entity List exposure through distribution partners
Technology products reach restricted end-users through multi-tier distribution channels. BIS Entity List restrictions apply to the actual end-user — not just the direct customer named on the purchase order.
FOCI in commercial technology supply chains
Foreign ownership, control, or influence designations require understanding who actually controls a company — not who’s listed on the contract. Standard screening misses the beneficial ownership layer where FOCI lives.
Investment screening for dual-use technology
CFIUS and state-level investment screening programs require understanding the nationality and government affiliations of investors — information that nominee ownership structures are specifically designed to obscure.
Know who controls every entity in your technology supply chain.
Sayari connects corporate registry data, beneficial ownership filings, and government watchlists across 250+ jurisdictions — giving technology compliance teams the ownership-level intelligence that export control regulations require.
Verify the ultimate end-user of technology exports against BIS Entity List, Military End-User list, and related export control watchlists — including ownership connections to restricted parties.
Identify foreign government ownership, control, or influence by tracing the full corporate tree — not just the immediate parent — to reveal state ownership of technology companies seeking U.S. contracts.
Screen acquisition targets and investors for government affiliations, restricted-party connections, and dual-use technology policy implications before transaction close.
Monitor your customer, partner, and supplier network for new BIS designations, ownership changes, and related-party events that change your export compliance posture.
From raw data to confident decision.
