Employee Background Checks

Employee Background Checks


It is not always external factors that can affect your business – the threat can often come from within.

Employee background checks enable you to stay one step ahead of current or potential employees. Our intelligence-led checks (known as INSIGHT) will identify any potential risks that an individual may pose to your organisation.

Standard employee DBS checks only access 8% of available data. Sentry Intelligence background checks access 78%.

The question is, ‘would you choose to make informed decisions based on understanding only 8% of the potential problem or would you prefer to have access to 78% of the data’.

Assessing Employee Risk


INSIGHT was developed for one purpose and one purpose only, to “SAFEGUARD”.

To safeguard the workplace, employees and employers and the wider public at a realistic price point by promoting enhanced employee background checks based on facial recognition. The purpose of the following is to explain the benefits of INSIGHT when compared to the normally adopted DBS (Disclosure Barring Service) checks.

Rogue employees


Rogue employees have been known to present fake documents to avoid detection by standard checking methods, but INSIGHT, using state of the art facial recognition software to confirm analogue data, deals with this issue effectively.

Know your people


The concept of ‘know your people’ as part of a safeguarding strategy is essential and enables employers to make informed decisions about existing and prospective employees, to provide a safe working environment.

DBS checks


Existing DBS checks on employees are woefully inadequate and leave employers potentially exposed to the effects of rogue employees perusing a criminal or radicalised agenda.

Using 2018 crime stats showing 4.6m reported crimes


  • Fig 1 shows the effectiveness of INSIGHT which can capture up to 78% of useful information.
  • Fig 2 shows a standard DBS check ‘spotlighting’ only 8% of available information.

Both charts use the same base line percentage of crimes detected by the police at 52%, in 2018, but DBS checks reduce the base line as it can only use information in the public domain. This is generally (with some minor exceptions) only conviction data.

By only using public domain information, DBS checks capture just 8% of recorded crime data and no additional intelligence. (NB Only 10% of reported crimes end up in court with an 82% conviction rate).

INSIGHT vs DBS Checks


DBS check alternative

This is how INSIGHT is different…

By starting with the base line of detected crime standing at 52% of all recorded crime and adding intelligence from various agencies, the data capture is significantly greater than that available to a DBS check.

The limited ability of DBS checks is leaving companies widely exposed to potential risk. A comparison of how INSIGHT far outweighs DBS checks is provided below.

The background checks noted here can be split into different levels of products dependent upon the level of potential threat individual employees may pose to an organisation, such as low-risk, vulnerable or high-risk.

We can create methods of investigation that are specific to your needs, sector, logistical, legal and administrative requirements.

  • Confirmation of ID through facial recognition technology
  • Passport check including European Criminal Records and International arrest warrant checks
  • Identify previous dealings in fraud or corruption in a business, an individual or known associates
  • Proof of residence and ID checks to AMLR standards
  • Analysis of travel patterns
  • Known associations to competitors
  • Links to criminal or terrorist activities
  • Professional credentials
  • Historical criminal records
  • Full financial history
  • Commercial reputation
  • Complete social media analysis
  • Ideology and affiliations

Ongoing Employee Due Diligence


How to stay one step ahead of your employees.

Our ongoing internal employee due diligence service is extensive. It enables you to pre-determine the economic status of your organisation by undertaking regular checks on your employees social, criminal and financial records.

We can monitor changes in personal circumstances that typically trigger risk, allowing you to react proactively rather than in a cost-prohibitive manner. This is a discreet process of ongoing risk assessment that instils a layer of security to protect your commercial interests.
