Geo Restrictions & OFAC Screening: Enforce Geographic and Sanctions Controls with Confidence.

Geo restrictions and sanctions controls are routinely bypassed using VPNs, residential proxies, and anonymized infrastructure that mask true user location. Spur exposes the real network context behind traffic, enabling accurate geographic enforcement and OFAC screening without overblocking legitimate users.

Geographic Controls Break Down Behind Anonymized Access.

Organizations enforcing geographic restrictions and sanctions policies depend on accurate location data to apply access controls consistently. However, legacy geolocation tools often rely on ISP-reported or crowdsourced data, which breaks down when users route access through VPNs, residential proxies, or complex routing paths.

Spur delivers technically validated geographic IP enrichment built from network-layer telemetry, not user input. By mapping every IP to a consistent, privacy-preserving grid, Spur enables accurate, auditable geo and OFAC enforcement without overblocking legitimate access.

How Spur enables accurate geographic and sanctions enforcement

Spur provides high-fidelity geographic IP enrichment that helps security, fraud, and compliance teams enforce geo restrictions and sanctions policies accurately, defensibly, and without unnecessary disruption.

Apply access controls using technically validated geographic IP data rather than self-reported or crowdsourced location signals that introduce compliance risk.

Next-Generation IP Geolocation

Legacy and crowdsourced geolocation data can introduce compliance risk, false positives, and enforcement gaps.

The post explains how infrastructure-validated geographic IP data improves jurisdictional controls, supports sanctions screening, and enables more defensible access decisions without overblocking legitimate users.
