DCSA’s Identity Exchange expands screening with Be Informed’s ITTS

2 April 2026

Spread the word:

Faster onboarding. Greater risk visibility.

Identity Exchange enables standardized partner verification, expanded with ITTS-powered sanctions and denied party screening embedded into workflows, reducing complexity, improving accuracy, and enabling scalable, audit-ready compliance.

"Through our partnership with Be Informed, we are extending Identity Exchange to include sanctions and denied party screening within the same verification workflow. This allows organisations to access company data, corporate hierarchy, and screening results in a more consistent and structured way, supporting more reliable partner verification across the container shipping industry."

Challenges in business partner verification

Fragmented compliance processes

Verifying business partners requires checking multiple sanctions lists, business registries, and corporate structures across disconnected tools, creating inefficiencies and duplication.

Limited visibility into ownership structures

Without integrated data, it is difficult to identify risks linked to subsidiaries, agents, and intermediaries whose beneficial ownership is not immediately visible.

Complex and time-consuming verification

Organizations must perform multiple manual steps to validate counterparties, making the onboarding process resource-intensive and difficult to scale.

Lack of centralized auditability

Without a centralized audit trail, it is difficult to demonstrate compliance and ensure consistent decision-making.

Druk op kwaliteit van dienstverlening en publiek vertrouwen

Achterstanden, klachten en zichtbare fouten leidden tot verhoogde aandacht vanuit media en politiek. De IND moest besluitkwaliteit verbeteren en tegelijk klantgericht blijven werken onder toenemende druk.

How Identity Exchange expands compliance capabilities with ITTS

Sanctions and denied party screening are embedded into workflows, enabling organizations to screen against 100+ lists and combine company and ownership data in one automated process

Integrated screening across data sources

Sanctions and denied party screening are seamlessly combined with business registry data and corporate hierarchy insights, creating a unified view of each partner. This allows organizations to move beyond isolated checks and assess risk in full context, improving the quality and reliability of compliance decisions.

Assess direct and indirect risk in one process

Organizations can evaluate not only the direct counterparty, but also related entities across ownership structures, including subsidiaries, agents, and intermediaries. By uncovering indirect exposure within a single workflow, compliance teams gain deeper insight into potential risks that would otherwise remain hidden.

Faster, more efficient onboarding

By consolidating sanctions screening, company verification, and ownership analysis into one streamlined process, organizations reduce manual effort and eliminate duplication across systems. This significantly accelerates onboarding timelines while maintaining high compliance standards.

Automated and audit-ready compliance

Every verification step is automatically captured and logged, creating a complete and traceable audit trail. This improves transparency, simplifies regulatory reporting, and ensures organizations can consistently demonstrate how compliance decisions were made.
