Simpliverified is a consumer reporting and background check agency that is fully equipped with background checking and screening services because of their best sources and technology used. No wonder they have become PBSA accredited.
PBSA or Professional Background Screening Association is a national accreditation wherein a US consumer reporting agency has been nationally recognized for its excellence. PSBA is a non-profit trade association and has a mission to advance excellence in the screening process. Like other recognition, an entity also needs to apply and has complied with some rules like Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).
There are a total of 3,000 PSBA members but only about 125 were accredited. Because of its rigorous surveillance audit, the first 3 to 5 years are all about confirming if they are maintaining their commitment to the high industry standards associated with accreditation. This involves a desk audit as well as submission of supporting materials by the screening company. This is also the reason why only 12% were only accredited.
There are strict criteria and requirements lists to be accredited by PBSA. Here are the lists why hire an employment background screening company with PBSA accreditation:
- Information Security – they have adhered to data security policy, store and back up data, and control the access to sensitive information.
