US trade-restriction screening (BIS / Commerce)
OFAC sanctions are one of four major US restricted-party registers a counterparty needs to be screened against. The Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) maintains three more — the Entity List, the Denied Persons List, and the Unverified List — under the Export Administration Regulations (15 CFR Part 744). All four are consolidated by the International Trade Administration into the single Consolidated Screening List. The links below deep-search each register for Cognizant; a US-domiciled public company will not normally appear, but the official lookup is the only authoritative way to confirm.
