Philips Screening Strategy
Our MOTTO is = “EVERYTHING, EVERYTIME and by EVERYON E.”
Among other we have the following:- Screening Tool is available for everybody in the company without
restriction- Ability to screen on line and off line using our own developed tool called
PROTECT- Tool is mandatory, screening must be incorporated at all levels of the
organization- Our SAP system is also running the GTS module incorporating the
screening module where PROTECT lists are incorporated- We implement all lists in all the jurisdictions we are located as well as in
the jurisdictions our customers are located including making use of list that are no mandatory to use for risk management purposes (e.g. Risk files)
- Central handling of actual “HITS” at Corporate Export Controls
Confidential 14
Develop a screening strategy: Needs – Wants – Musts • Risk Assessment must take into account the following:
– Location of your company
– Location of your markets, and direct and indirect customers
– Sensitivity of your product portfolio
– Size
– Daily business transactions
– Business model and infrastructure
– Risk appetite
– etc
The result of the assessment should make it clear WHAT you SHOULD implement .
Screening process is a MUST per definition in any company.
The debate should be about the What and the How!

Case study on timing of screening transactions
Confidential17
When MUST I screen a transaction?
Case:– Sales manager gets a lead on a major deal in middle east
– He prepares a sales pitch and gets in contact with the potential customer taking with him some samples of our new product containing the new security implementation
– During the meeting he finds out that the deal is urgent needs to be closed within 1 week with product to be shipped out within 2 weeks
– Sales manager checks stock levels at factory
– Sales manager commits to do the sale (contract) and comes back and places the order in the internal system
Confidential18
When MUST I screen a transaction?
Possible Scenarios1. Order goes through the system
• but is stopped at customs offices• but the payment is refused by the bank• but the LSP does not want to process and holds the goods
2. Order is blocked in the system• Order can never be delivered (customer on SDN list)• Order can only be delivered with individual license
ALWAYS,…but most importantly be aware when new business lea ds are
pursued…
Confidential19
Food for thought…
• Do you have all the lists implemented that you must have to be compliant?
• Is your software screening tool effective to cover all areas of your business?
• Is your software tool available to everybody that might need it both on line and offline if required?
• Is your screening strategy effective to cover all areas of your business?
– Have you thought about:• E.g. Screening your company “preferred hotels”?
• E.g. Screening your visitors?
• E.g. Screening universities and students you are working with?
• E.g. Screening research entities you are working with?
