Automated background checks for municipalities

Systematic background checks can help ensure the right people are hired for the right positions. It is not about mistrust of employees, but about creating structures and procedures that protect both the citizens, the organization and the employees themselves.

For example, conducting background checks is part of the security measures based on Act on Measures to Ensure a High Level of Cybersecurity (NIS2) and Law of Resilience of Critical Units (SKY). Both legislations allow for a risk-based approach, and the rules of the General Data Protection Regulation also apply to the information collected in the course of conducting background investigations. P-Secure is your guarantee of compliance with applicable requirements and legislation in the field.

Responsibilities of municipalities

The public sector in Denmark employs over 800,000 people divided by state, regions and municipalities. These employees manage hundreds of billions of dollars of tax dollars annually and are responsible for the most basic needs of citizens - from health and education to social services and infrastructure.

With this great responsibility also comes a special need for trust and integrity. Public servants handle sensitive personal data, make decisions that affect citizens' lives, and often have direct access to vulnerable groups such as the elderly and disabled.

Systematic background checks can help ensure the right people are hired for the right positions. It is not about mistrust of employees, but about creating structures and procedures that protect both the citizens, the organization and the employees themselves.

International experience shows that well-developed screening programmes can significantly reduce risks and at the same time strengthen citizens' trust in the public sector.

Background checks can, for example, prevent corruption and abuse, optimize the protection of sensitive citizen data, and be up to date on the fact that employees have the necessary prerequisites to hold the position in question (e.g. driving licences, relevant training and a clean criminal record).
