BPSS Screening

The Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) is a vital step for organisations to ensure their workforce is reliable, trustworthy, and eligible to work. Whether you’re hiring for sensitive roles, government contracts, or positions handling critical information, BPSS screening is essential for safeguarding your business, meeting compliance requirements, and protecting your reputation.

At Conflict International, we provide fast, accurate, and hassle-free BPSS checks to help you meet security standards with confidence.

What is BPSS Screening?

BPSS screening is designed to verify the identity, eligibility, and background of individuals working in roles where trust and integrity are essential. It involves:

• Confirming the Right to Work in the UK.
• Verifying Identity with trusted documentation.
• Checking for relevant Criminal Records.
• Reviewing Employment History to ensure suitability for the role.

This process helps organisations mitigate risks, protect sensitive information, and ensure they hire candidates who meet the required standards of honesty and integrity.

Why is BPSS Screening important?

• Protect Your Organisation: BPSS screening reduces the risk of hiring individuals who may pose security or operational risks.
• Stay Compliant: Many roles, especially those involving government work, require BPSS checks to meet regulatory requirements.
• Build Trust: A thorough screening process shows clients, partners, and stakeholders that your organisation prioritises security and reliability.
• Save Time and Money: Avoid costly mistakes by ensuring new hires are vetted thoroughly before they start.
