BS7858 Screening Built for Security Companies
Fast, reliable screening, made simple
Faster Officer Deployment. Stronger Compliance. Better Recruitment Outcomes.
Security companies operate in a fast-moving environment where recruitment delays directly affect operational performance. When officers cannot be deployed quickly, vacancies remain open, shifts go unfilled and contract mobilisation becomes more difficult.
Secure Screening Services provides specialist BS7858 screening for security companies across the UK, helping organisations reduce onboarding delays, maintain compliance and deploy personnel more efficiently.
Whether you operate within security guarding, door supervision, CCTV monitoring, key holding or close protection, our screening solutions are designed around the realities of the security industry.

Our services support organisations recruiting:
- Security Officers
- Door Supervisors
- CCTV Operators
- Key Holding Personnel
- Mobile Patrol Officers
- Close Protection Officers
- Event Security Personnel
- Corporate Security Staff
The challenges facing security companies
Recruitment is moving faster than screening
Suitable candidates are available, but deployment is delayed by inefficient screening processes.
New contracts need immediate mobilisation
Winning contracts is only part of the challenge. Delivering screened personnel quickly is what protects revenue and client relationships.
ACS audits create additional pressure
Maintaining accurate records and demonstrating compliance is essential for organisations operating within recognised industry frameworks.
Generic providers don't understand security
Many providers understand screening. Fewer understand the operational realities of recruiting and deploying security personnel.
