Security & CCTV pre-employment checks matter now more than ever.

Security & CCTV background checks
Security screening or security vetting refers to a combination of different background checks that are used to meet industry or government requirements or to determine whether a potential employee has the necessary background for the position they are applying for.

Anyone can request screening, including your governing body, government, employer, boss, client, bank, insurance company, and even your landlord. All of them would have the same goal in mind: to gather information that will aid them in determining whether or not you are suitable for employment, access to classified information, a loan, or any other relevant information.

The government and other regulatory organisations have created security screening standards to ensure that quality and standards are maintained. Security screening standards are a combination of diverse background checks tailored to the specific purpose. The most common security screening requirements are shown here, along with when they may be required.

Please see our services below for more information on the kind of checks covered in each standard.

  • HMG Baseline Personnel Security Screening (BPSS): This guideline applies to anybody who has access to government assets as part of their job. This is the initial step of security screening for government contracts, to put it simply. When access to SECRET government assets is required, more complex government screening criteria such as Security Clearance (CS) or Counter Terrorist Check (CTC) are often required.
  • BAA Airside Pass Security Screening: The completion of the Airside Pass security screening is one of the conditions for obtaining the pass. Contractors who need access to airport Restricted Zones (RZ) in the course of their work would need an Airside Pass, so you're almost correct.
  • BS7858 Security Screening: This standard is most commonly associated with the security industry, which encompasses the protection of people, property, goods, and data. Security guards, alarm and CCTV system installers, data center personnel, and cyber security engineers are all examples of these jobs. Many organizations recognize this standard, and it is required for accreditations such as SIA, SSAIB, NSI, and NACOSS, to mention a few.


So, now that you've learned about background checks and the most prevalent security screening standards, you're probably wondering which screening is right for your company. To find out whether security screening is suitable for you, please contact us
