Protect (BS7858) screening package

The Protect package is a robust background checking package, based on the BS7858 government industry standard. This package is suited to organisations in finance, communications, energy and government departments where standards of background checks are expected to be met.

BS7858 is the UK standard for screening candidates in the security sector and is set by the British Standards Institution. This package ensures those working in sensitive areas or with vulnerable people are screening appropriately in either permanent or contracted roles.

If your candidate has an in-date British or Irish passport (or passport card) then upgrade your right to work and ID verification checks to our digital ID platform AssuredID.
