Industries we cover
Security
When you count on your security teams to keep people safe, you need to make sure that they’re the right person for the job with thorough and rigorous employment checks. The security industry spans a multitude of other sectors, with security professionals in place to protect anything from people and places to luxury goods and sensitive information.
Individuals working in security must undertake BS7858 screening during the recruitment process. The BS7858:2019 is a British Standards Institute standard that sets out the criteria for security staff or individuals with responsibility for security and must be
completed to ensure full compliance.
Security Industry Vetting
The security sector is highly regulated, with all members of your security teams required to undergo robust BS7858 pre-employment screening. Working with our screening experts, you’ll be able to address any red flags that come up and understand what that means for your candidate. Our checks are thorough with stringent quality control measures in place. Our team is also on hand to take you through the process.
Security Sector Pre-Employment Checks include:
- 5-year employment check
- Criminal Record Checks
- Right to Work check
- DBS checks
We run our checks across borders, including both European and wider international checks as required.

I just checked status of our first candidate on your system. Very impressed, exactly what I was looking for. Makes the previous company look like they are in the Dark Ages!

Our company have been using Checkback for a number of years. The friendly and professional service we consistently receive from them is excellent. The service they provide is quick, efficient and the screening checks are tailored to our specific needs, which is exactly what our company was looking for to cover our BS7858 security vetting requirements. Checkback provides a really personal service. For example, if things, at first appearance, don't seem right, they'll call and ask for additional information and evidence rather than take the easy option of simply 'failing', the vetting - which was our experience of previous companies. Their completed screening reports are easy to read and well-presented. We would have no hesitation in recommending Checkback to other companies.
