Frequently asked questions
Find quick answers to common questions about our Security background
check services, compliance standards, turnaround times, and more.
What is a Security Background Check?
In most of the companies, employees themselves are a great threat to security. Hence Security Background Check is carried out to know the criminal history of the applicant which is also termed as Security Screening or Criminal History Check.
What is the reason behind Criminal History Check?
The criminal history of the applicant helps in knowing the criminal activities if any. The general habit of an individual is those who have already committed crimes tend to repeat their criminal activities and people who were honest earlier continue to be the same. There might be an exception to this general behaviour and hence the Criminal History check helps in deciding whether the candidate can be appointed.
What are the two types of Security Background Check?
In the first type of Security Background Check, the information is obtained from online services which are very simple. The applicants name and data of birth are entered and the details can be received immediately which costs few dollars only. The second type is an extensive full scale search which requires many months to get completed and also costs thousands of dollars.
What are the aspects of an applicant that should be verified in a Security Background Check?
The following aspects of the applicant should be verified.
Social Security Number Verification to check the identity, Address verification which confirms the past and current addresses, Local as well as National Criminal record to check for any misconduct or criminal activities and Sex Offender Registry for any abuses.
Can the employer disqualify a candidate based on the Security Background Check?
Yes, the employer can disqualify an applicant based on the reports of Security Background Check. Whereas the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission (EEOC), which is a federal agency to govern the enforcement of civil rights has stated that disqualifying candidates with past criminal record is discriminatory.
What recommendations could be framed for candidates with adverse report in Security Background Check?
The recommendations could be developed jointly by the Employer, Human Resource Manager, Security Officer and Legal Officer to decide the type of adverse reports that would disqualify a candidate. These guidelines should be based on the nature of job and to be strictly followed.
What lapses in security can occur even after conducting a Security Background Check?
While the employers do conduct strict Security Background Check for their own employees they do not go through background check for temporary workers, vendors and contractors who are also involved in the regular functioning of the company. They also have access to some areas of the office and this security lapse can prove to be a great threat to the company.
What would be the consequences if a Security Background Check is not conducted?
It could cause a great loss to the intellectual and physical property of the concern if Security Background Check is not done. The criminal behaviour of any employee can pose a safety problem to everyone in the industry, result in legal complications and also spoil the brand name and reputation of the concern.
Why there is a requirement for fingerprint checking in Security Background Check?
The fingerprint of the applicant could be collected in the biometric centres and sent to FBI for further processing and this would bring to limelight any criminal offense or convictions on the part of the candidate. This check is especially compulsory for higher level employees and financial officers and managers.
How a Reveal Security Background Check does make the verification simpler?
Reveal Security Background Check follows the regulations of FCRA, and also does an extensive research in the background checking, where the client easily obtains all the data of the applicant within few days without loss of time and money.
