Energy and supply
How P-Secure supports the energy sector's own background check requirements
The Danish energy sector is undergoing a historic buildup of security and preparedness. With Order on safety approvals in the energy sector (1075 of 27 August 2025) Increasing requirements are now being imposed on the control of employees and suppliers with access to critical functions.
It places new requirements on how companies document and follow up their controls. P-Secure makes it easy to manage the entire process digitally — from hiring to re-checking — with full traceability and documentation in accordance with GDPR and applicable data protection regulations.
When a player like Energinet takes the step and digitises the many thousands of background checks, it sends a strong signal to the entire energy sector. Conducting thousands of statutory background checks need to be neither cumbersome nor expensive.
Our standard software is part of the Government and Municipalities Procurement Agreement (SKI) and is delivered and implemented in order to comply with applicable legislation. Contact us now — you will be up and running by the end of the year, whether you are 100 or 100,000 employees.

Common standard for screening:
P-Secure: recommends initial minimum checks
In collaboration with energy sector players, P-Secure is working to establish a common standard for screening and background checks that can be applied across utility and operating organizations.
The platform brings together all essential elements in one digital flow — from ID verification and CV validation to criminal test management and OSINT-based risk assessment. This allows companies to document their internal processes to authorities and auditors — without increasing the administrative burden.
“A background check is not supposed to be a barrier, but a tool to build trust. We work with energy companies to make requirements and practices more uniform — so compliance becomes an integral part of everyday life.”

How P-Secure contributes in practice
Automation of critical processes
P-Secure automates and aggregates checks of identity, résumé, driver's license, residence permit and criminal record. It ensures accurate and timely checks and reduces the risk of human error — even when many drivers, port operators or subcontractors need to be screened at once.
Streamlining HR processes
P-Secure streamlines time-consuming and cost-intensive HR processes. This saves time and resources so you can focus on your core tasks.
Ready for audit
P-Secure is designed for easy and efficient auditing — both internally and externally. The system keeps track of all necessary documents and processes, so that you can quickly present the required documentation to the Danish Traffic Authority and other authorities.
Compliance
P-Secure supports compliance with NIS2, CER and ISO 27001, as well as the chain liability and subcontractor management requirements imposed in critical infrastructure contracts. The solution is continuously adapted to country-specific legislation and at the same time ensures compliance with GDPR when processing personal data.
Effectiveness
P-Secure offers an easy-to-use case management system that can efficiently handle a large number of simultaneous background checks. This gives your organization a flexible and scalable solution that adapts to screening needs — whether you are 50 or 5,000 employees.
Consent
All background checks are conducted in strict accordance with applicable law, with full transparency in the process and upon obtaining explicit consent.
Objectivity
All background checks are carried out according to pre-defined screening criteria and are based, inter alia, on public and verified data sources. This ensures an objective, reliable and accurate evaluation.
Due to the short deadline before the "Act on Strengthened Emergency Preparedness in the Energy Sector" comes into force, we at Fjernvarme Fyn have already chosen to begin work on identifying which functions need to be background checked in collaboration with P-Secure.
