How to set up a Sanction on your website
Steps to take to set up a Sanction requirement for your website
In an evolving regulatory landscape, businesses must stay vigilant in navigating international sanctions and regulatory frameworks that vary widely by region. This complexity emphasizes the need for robust geo-restriction control measures to ensure compliance with these mandates, as well as protect your business from potential legal repercussions.
By utilizing Clym's widget for geo-restriction control, businesses can effectively manage user access based on geographic locations. This proactive approach not only supports compliance efforts but also safeguards your website from unwarranted visitors.
Please note: Based on the industry that your business operates in, there may be Sanctions and other restrictions that are automatically configured based on your Company Data. Before manually configuring sanctions or other restrictions, please first edit your Company Data.
Adding a rule is an easy 3-step process:
1. Sign in to your Clym Portal
You should have received a magic link in your initial onboarding email. Please click Sign in from the email to get started. Alternatively, navigate to Clym's home page and click Sign in in the upper right-hand corner.
2. Open your Website Settings
From the left side menu, select Website Settings. From here, you will see a list of all your domains, each with its unique settings.
Click the settings wheel next to the domain that you would like to change the default language for. This will open the website settings for that specific domain.
3. Create a new rule
From the Website settings menu, select the Geographical and device-based settings drop-down arrow to expand the options. Click the three dots next to the jurisdiction where you would like to create a rule.
In the pop-up window, you can click into the Sanctions and other restrictions section to see any existing rules for this jurisdiction. Click ADD RULE+ to create a new rule.
In the Type drop-down, select Sanctions and other restrictions. To Block access entirely from this jurisdiction, toggle this option on. Click Submit.
