Why Use Secure+ Screening?
Greater Confidence in Hiring Decisions
Secure+ Screening provides a more detailed understanding of an individual’s background, allowing organisations to make informed decisions.
Reduced Risk
By carrying out additional checks beyond standard screening, organisations can identify potential risks earlier.
Enhanced Due Diligence
This advanced screening demonstrates a higher level of due diligence, particularly important for organisations operating in regulated or high-risk environments.
Secure+ Screening For Employers
Secure+ Screening is our most advanced background screening package, designed for organisations that require a deeper level of verification before making hiring decisions.
Built on top of recognised screening standards such as BPSS and BS7858, Secure+ Screening goes further by carrying out additional checks to provide a more complete picture of an individual’s background.
This enhanced approach helps organisations gain greater confidence, reduce risk, and ensure individuals are suitable for roles involving trust, responsibility or sensitive access.
Why Choose Secure+ Screening?
Standard background checks provide a baseline level of assurance. However, in some roles, organisations need a more detailed understanding of an individual’s history.
Secure+ Screening is designed for:
- senior or high responsibility roles
- positions involving access to sensitive data or systems
- financial or decision-making roles
- organisations with higher risk exposure
- employers seeking maximum reassurance before hiring
By combining multiple layers of verification, Secure+ Screening provides a more thorough and detailed assessment than standard screening packages.

Secure+ Screening vs Standard Checks
Standard screening packages such as BPSS and BS7858 provide structured background verification.
Our advanced screening builds on these foundations by adding additional layers of due diligence.
While BPSS focuses on baseline screening and BS7858 provides enhanced employment verification, Secure+ Screening delivers a more comprehensive view of an individual’s background.
This makes it suitable for organisations that require the highest level of reassurance.
What is Included in Secure+ Screening?
This higher level of screening includes all elements of structured pre-employment screening, along with additional checks to provide deeper insight.
DBS Check
A DBS check is included to identify any relevant criminal record information.
By default, this will be a Basic DBS check, which shows any unspent convictions.
Where the role is legally eligible for a higher level of check, it can be upgraded to a Standard or Enhanced DBS check.
Additional Fees apply for Standard and Enhanced DBS checks.
Identity Verification
Verification of the individual’s identity using trusted methods, ensuring all checks are carried out against the correct person.
Right to Work Check
Confirmation that the individual has the legal right to work in the UK, helping organisations remain compliant with immigration requirements.
Employment History Verification
Verification of employment history, covering 5 years, with the option to extend further depending on requirements.
Any gaps in employment over 31 days are reviewed and require supporting evidence from the applicant.
Credit Check
A 6 year credit check provides insight into an individual’s financial history, which may be relevant for roles involving financial responsibility or access to assets.
PEPs and Sanctions Screening
Screening against politically exposed persons (PEPs) and sanctions lists to identify potential risks.
Adverse Media Check
Searches for negative or concerning media coverage linked to the individual.
This helps identify reputational risks that may not appear through standard checks.
Social Media Screening
A review of publicly available social media activity to identify potential risks or behaviour that may be relevant to the role.
Directorship Check
Identification of any company directorships or business interests associated with the individual.
This helps organisations understand potential conflicts of interest or financial involvement.
Education and Qualification Verification
Verification of academic qualifications and certifications to confirm that the individual’s credentials are accurate.
