The Problem with Legacy Background Checks

Legacy background checks rely almost entirely on criminal record matching, even though the vast majority of serious misconduct never enters a database.

There Is an Urgent Need to Rethink Traditional Background Verification

Most Crime Goes Unrecorded

A significant proportion of serious criminal behavior leaves no trace. There is often no police report, no court file, and no database record. A 2022 US DOJ report found that only ~42% of violent crime was reported to police.

AI-Forged Documents

Fraudulent documents can be created in minutes with modern AI. Traditional vetting systems have no mechanism to detect sophisticated forgeries.

Workforce Visibility Gaps

Contractors, vendors, gig workers, and offshore teams create high-risk visibility gaps. HR, Security, and Procurement often operate with inconsistent screening standards across roles and regions.

Social Media Vetting Is Unreliable

Most users don't post incriminating content, and controversial material can be swiftly deleted. Traditional social media checks also overlook individuals actively engaging with criminal-activity websites.

Non-Defensible Decisions

Legal and Compliance teams are forced to make decisions with limited or non-defensible data, leaving organizations exposed to liability.
