The article examines the problem of using open-source information within the management system of corporate sanctions compliance in logistics enterprises. It emphasizes that under conditions of globalization and increasing sanctions pressure on the international economy, there is a growing need to enhance supply chain transparency, strengthen control over counterparties, and prevent companies from participating in schemes aimed at circumventing sanctions. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the role and classification of open-source information in corporate sanctions compliance management of logistics enterprises and to define criteria for its reliability to ensure effective monitoring and informed managerial decision-making. The author proposes a classification approach to the systematization of open-source information according to its functional purpose, origin, level of officiality, and technological capabilities of data collection. It is established that open sources perform a fundamental function in corporate sanctions compliance, providing risk identification, detection of sanctions violations, assessment of counterparties’ business reputation, and documentation of compliance verification procedures. The scientific novelty lies in developing a systemic classification of open-source information adapted to the needs of sanctions compliance in logistics, as well as in determining the prioritization of its practical application across different types of managerial decisions — strategic, tactical, operational, and analytical-predictive. The practical significance of the study is the possibility of applying the proposed approaches to create internal compliance policies, improve counterparty verification procedures, develop automated risk monitoring systems, and train professionals in the field of business information security. It is concluded that the integration of open-source information into the corporate sanctions compliance system is a prerequisite for enhancing risk management efficiency, ensuring supply chain transparency, and strengthening the reputational resilience of enterprises in the international market.
