==Other vetting processes==
Some organizations require users and organizations to be manually vetted or approved before the user gains access. This is typically done by using the User/Organization'''status''' in conjunction with workflows to notify the appropriate internal staff.
Some organizations also require regular OFAC checks to be conducted on the organizations they fund, to ensure they are not in violation of economic and trade sanctions based on U.S. foreign policy, and national security goals against targeted foreign countries and regimes, terrorists, international narcotics traffickers, those engaged in activities related to the proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction, and other threats to the national security, foreign policy or economy of the United States.
OFAC publishes a list of individuals and companies owned or controlled by, or acting for or on behalf of, targeted countries. It also lists individuals, groups and entities, includes terrorists and narcotics traffickers designated under programs that are not country-specific. Collectively, such individuals and companies are called Specially Designated Nationals or SDNs. Their assets are blocked, and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from dealing with them.
