Compliance
Compliance isn't a checkbox.
It's how we operate.
Background screening sits at the intersection of employment law, data privacy, and civil rights. We've built our entire platform — and our team — around the regulatory frameworks that govern your industry.
Regulatory Framework
Every regulation, accounted for
Our compliance architecture covers the full spectrum of federal, state, and local requirements that affect your screening program.
FCRA Compliance
Every screening program is built around Fair Credit Reporting Act requirements — from permissible purpose to adverse action workflows. We ensure your process is legally defensible at every step.
EEOC Best Practices
We follow Equal Employment Opportunity Commission guidance on individualized assessments, helping employers make consistent, non-discriminatory hiring decisions based on job-related criteria.
Ban-the-Box & Fair Chance Laws
With state and local fair chance hiring laws expanding rapidly, our compliance team tracks every jurisdiction and ensures your screening process meets applicable timing and disclosure requirements.
State & Local Regulations
From California's ICRAA to New York City's Fair Chance Act, we maintain a living library of state and local requirements so your program stays current without constant legal review.
Data Security & Privacy
SOC 2 Type II certified with end-to-end encryption, role-based access controls, and comprehensive audit trails. Candidate data is handled with the highest standards of security and confidentiality.
Adverse Action Support
Our platform automates the pre-adverse and adverse action notice process, with built-in waiting periods, dispute resolution workflows, and documentation to protect your organization.
Certifications & Accreditations
Independently verified. Continuously maintained.
Our certifications aren't marketing claims — they're independently audited standards we maintain year over year.
