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.”

Automation of critical processes

P-Secure is designed for easy and efficient auditing — both internally and externally. The system keeps track of all necessary documents and processes, so you can quickly present the required documentation.

Compliance

P-Secure supports compliance with NIS2 and CER directives as well as sector-specific requirements that require background checks on employees, including in critical infrastructure. The solution is based on a risk-based and proportionate approach 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.

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 conducted according to predefined screening criteria and are based solely on public and verified data sources. It ensures an objective, reliable and accurate evaluation of candidates undergoing the process.

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.
