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:
