One clear view
Know more before you give access
A CV can tell you where someone has worked. Effective screening can help you verify the information that matters. Our checks help you identify inconsistencies, verify credentials and make better-informed decisions before individuals are placed in positions of trust.
Because in defence, the cost of getting screening wrong is huge.
Your risk doesn't stop at your employees
Contractors, suppliers and third parties can have access to the same sites, systems and sensitive information as your internal teams. Make sure your screening standards extend across the wider workforce.

FAQs
International contractors can be screened where suitable checks are available and lawful in the relevant jurisdictions. The availability of employment, education, identity and criminal-record information varies by country. Screening does not replace any separate contractual, export-control or government security-vetting requirement.
BPSS is a baseline personnel-security standard comprising identity, right-to-work, employment-history and unspent-criminal-record checks. It is not national security clearance. Some roles require BPSS as a foundation before a separate government national-security-vetting process is completed.
Defence organisations and suppliers may need to verify personnel before granting access to government information, sites, systems or assets. Screening can support this process by checking relevant identity, employment and criminal-record information. The required standard must be established by the organisation or contract owner.
Requirements depend on the role, contract, location and level of access involved. For UK government work, BPSS comprises identity, right-to-work, employment-history and unspent-criminal-record checks. Other checks, such as qualifications, sanctions or international verification, may be relevant where they are proportionate and permitted.

Yes. Veremark offers online background checks through its digital platform. Employers can request checks, monitor the progress of individual checks and access completed reports from the Veremark dashboard.
Turnaround times depend on the type of check and the country in which it is conducted. Some checks rely on responses from employers, educational institutions, government authorities or other official sources. Most background checks are completed within 15 business days after all required candidate information has been received. In markets with limited digital infrastructure or slower third-party responses, checks may take up to 20 business days or longer. Clients can monitor the progress of individual checks through the Veremark dashboard.
