Specialist consultancy services, training and insight to help industry & governments understand sanctions risks confidently

We help organisations understand their sanctions and export control risks and take practical steps to manage them. Whether you’re developing your first compliance programme or strengthening an established function, we tailor our support to your organisation, sector and operations.
Our work includes enterprise-wide risk assessments, compliance policies and control frameworks, alongside independent audits, ongoing reviews and red-team testing. We help identify gaps, recommend proportionate improvements and support their implementation, working with you to build an approach that meets your organisation’s needs.
We also provide advice on specific challenges, from licensing and regulatory reporting to assessing risks linked to individuals, entities and vessels. Through focused analysis, bespoke reports and confidential discussions, we help you work through complex questions and decide what to do next.

Our training brings sanctions challenges to life. From foundational knowledge to specialist topics, we help professionals build their understanding and apply it confidently in their work.
Our immersive in-person courses combine expert teaching with a realistic scenario that develops throughout the day. You’ll assess new information, work through challenges and make decisions alongside professionals from government, industry and academia. Delivered regularly in Manchester and London - with topics spanning:
* Advanced Sanctions Compliance
* Sanctions Investigations & Combatting Evasion
* Trade Sanctions & Export Controls
* Counter Proliferation & Sanctions
* Sanctions Compliance (beginner-friendly)
We also offer online courses and bespoke training tailored to your organisation’s people, priorities and sanctions risks. Whether you need a focused briefing or a wider training programme, we’ll work with you to find the right approach.

Sanctions SOS and Sanctions Not for Profit (NFP) work with governments and multilateral organisations around the world to strengthen their capacity to design, implement, manage and enforce sanctions.
Through specialist training and practical support, we help develop the knowledge, skills and processes needed for effective sanctions implementation. We also build connections between public authorities and the private sector, creating opportunities to share experience and strengthen international cooperation.
Our research and analysis help identify gaps in knowledge and capability, assess existing approaches and develop practical recommendations. We work with partners to turn these findings into improvements that reflect their institutions, responsibilities and priorities.
