I handed over the request to Secure Screening Services... and had minimal involvement in obtaining certification which allowed for me to concentrate on other matters. The portal was easy to navigate and even the complexities of arranging a check for a French resident, was completed without difficulty by the team. Great communication and great results.

We understand the pressure you’re under to get compliant, that’s why we provide a quick and easy account set-up process and a user-friendly screening portal to provide real-time updates of your candidate’s progress. Here's how it works:
Create an account for instant access to your screening portal.
Simply add your candidate’s name and email address to start screening.
Once we complete all checks you can download a fully compliant BS7858 report.
A Basic DBS check helps ensure an individual has no unspent convictions, enhancing trust and safety in recruitment and decision-making processes.
An ID Check verifies the identity of an individual. ID checks are carried out to prevent fraud, check for illegal activity and fundamentally confirm that the person is who they claim to be.
This check confirms a person's legal right to work status. Failing to carry out sufficient right to work checks can result in fines and penalties, which can ultimately damage a company’s reputation.
This check verifies the employment history of an individual. The purpose of this check is to ensure that the information provided by the candidate regarding their previous employment is accurate and truthful.
This check includes PEP (Politically Exposed Person) and Sanctions, Court and Insolvency information, CIFAs (Credit Industry Fraud Avoidance) and Watchlist checks. It ensures regulatory compliance, manages potential reputational damage, and allows businesses to make informed decisions about whom they associate with.
The BS7858:2019 standard is the code of practice released by the BSI which entails best practices and guidelines for the security screening of people employed within a secure environment. This is also used as the screening standard for organisations looking to achieve any ISO certification.
Anyone working in a secure environment where the security and/or safety of people, goods, services, data or property is an operational requirement. This could be those working in public-facing roles or who hold positions of authority.
BS7858 turnaround times rely heavily on candidate engagement, and often due the strict requirements set out by the BSI, each check must pass a certain criteria before a BS7858 report can be published meaning turnaround times can be more lengthy.
The difference between BS7858 & BPSS screening is that BPSS clearance is a government-mandated screening for those working in public sector, military and government roles, whereas BS7858 screening a British Standard level of security screening for private sector industries, such as, finance and critical infrastructure. .
Security services, finance, IT, utilities, and industries dealing with confidential or personal data.
Identity verification, 5-year employment history, criminal record check (DBS), right to work verification, credit checks (if applicable), and character references.
Proof of identity, proof of address, employment history details, references, and evidence of right to work.
Typically every 5 years, or sooner if the employee's role or risk profile changes significantly.
