Why Do You Need Geo-Restriction & VPN Access Control?
Businesses across industries must navigate a complex web of international sanctions and regulatory restrictions. For example, sanctions like OFAC-governed regulations, Regulation EU 2018/30, and Council Regulations (such as EU No 36/2012, 2022/263, and No 359/2011) limit interactions with specific countries, entities, or individuals.
Beyond sanctions, industry-specific regulations impose additional compliance demands. In the gambling sector, laws such as the UK Gambling Act, the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) in the U.S., and EU gambling directives strictly prohibit offering services in certain jurisdictions.
Non-compliance with these mandates can result in severe penalties. Geo-Restriction & VPN Access Control empower you to enforce access limits based on geography and prevent circumvention through VPNs. These tools support your compliance efforts, help mitigate legal risks, and protect your platform from unauthorized or restricted visitors.
If you are a business that is subject to international sanctions, you need to comply
Examples
E-commerce Websites
If your business is impacted by international sanctions, it’s crucial to control access from specific regions to help protect your reputation and address regulatory requirements.
Content Providers
Licensing agreements may dictate where you are allowed to display certain content—use geo-restriction to keep your content within approved regions.
Financial Services
Blocking VPNs means that only verified users can access your services, helping you address stringent regulatory requirements.
