Some employers choose to conduct thorough checks, aligning with security standards such as BS7858 which applies to individuals working in secure environments, or the government's BPSS Baseline standard. Typical vetting for IT workers would include:
- Right to Work
- Identity
- Criminal Records
- Employment History

Custom
Background checks are rapidly evolving, and practices that were effective five years ago are now outdated. Employers must stay current by continuously monitoring screening policies.
It is widely accepted that Pre-employment checks alone are insufficient; many industries and organisations now require ongoing checks for criminal records, credit risk, adverse social media content, driving licence penalties, and directorships.
EBC Global offers a wide variety of background check tools for employers and welcomes ideas for new products.
