We'd like to strongly advise all customers that are using the all
dataset to use default
instead.
The all
dataset is an internal artifact of our data infrastructure. Other than having a pleasing name, it is a strictly inferior data product. As of February 2025, we've reduced the update frequency of all
to monthly updates - meaning that users of the all
scope will use outdated data in their systems.
all
also includes data meant for internal verification/testing purposes which should not be included in production systems (unless you have a regulatory requirement to screen for 1990 "Die Hard" movie villain, John Gruber).

The sanctions regime under Section 353 of the Corrupt and Undemocratic Actors Report has expired in December 2023. To reflect this, we've removed the topic sanction
from all entities in the dataset. We will remove the relevant dataset entirely after November 1, 2024, and move the formerly-designated entities for reference to the US Special Legislative Exclusions dataset
Section 353 concerns foreign individuals who have been reported for knowingly engaging in activities that undermine democratic processes or institutions, participating in significant corruption, or obstructing investigations into such acts in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua.

The dataset Liechtenstein Posted Workers Act (EntsG) Sanctions was previously running of a static, outdated version of the data which had been published in HTML format. It will now be updated from a regularly-published PDF file. As part of this update, the IDs of the listed entities are changed, and the topic applied to first-time penalised entities ("Übertretungen" i.S.v Art 9) is changed from debarment
to reg.warn
