Compliance, Sanctions & Payment Expertise
Precision when the stakes are highest
Organizations grapple with a very difficult situation when facing ransomware. Threat actors do their best to stay anonymous, and making a non-compliant payment can create legal, financial, and consequences that last long after the crisis ends. DAR keeps you in a position of power.

Mitigating Risk Before It Multiplies
There are a number of steps that must be taken before any payment is made.
DAR specializes in ensuring ransomware payments are not just fast, but defensible. We work with clients and partners to validate threat actor identities, screen payments against international sanctions lists, and maintain open dialogue with authorities.
Getting it wrong can expose your organization to fines, penalties, or worse. Getting it right means protecting your business and reputation.
Our Payment Services
Advanced Threat Actor Attribution
Professional extortionists lie — as you would imagine. Most are sanctioned individuals or nation-state-sponsored actors posing as ransomware affiliates. DAR leverages intelligence from your partners (or ours) — uncovering identities, activities, associations, IOCs, and TTPs to confirm exactly who you’re paying, and who you shouldn’t be.
Crypto Wallet Setup & Management
When payments must be made, DAR ensures they are executed securely. Our team manages dedicated crypto wallets, facilitates immediate payments from reserves when needed, and verifies transactions so funds reach the right destination at the right time.
Sanctions & Compliance Screens
Every payment is screened against global sanctions lists—including OFAC (U.S.), Global Affairs Canada, the U.N. Security Council Consolidated List, the EU Consolidated List, and others—to prevent compliance failures and secondary violations.
Open Dialogue with Authorities
DAR maintains open communication with leading domestic and international agencies—including CISA, FBI, Secret Service, UK National Crime Agency, and NSA. These relationships help keep our clients aligned with current guidance and intelligence.
