P-Secure offers a digital platform for systematically conducting background checks across functions, nationalities and countries.
The solution combines data from multiple sources and reduces manual work through a uniform, documentable and scalable process that meets current compliance requirements.
You can choose from a wide range of screening categories and watchlists and thus put together a screening type that is proportional to the access the candidate needs. It can be a light screening, where only identity and criminal record checks are needed, which constitute the minimum requirements in the EU CER directive. Alternatively, a more comprehensive investigation can be carried out, which is used in regulated sectors such as aviation, energy and the defense industry.
If you need a supplementary background investigation or a security interview, we can of course also offer this - read more under "supplementary background check" and "security interview".
Screening categories
ID
Verification of the applicant's identity via either eID (e.g. MitID or BankID) or passport. Under 'Settings' of the screening type, you can set which verification methods are allowed.
Basic information
Basic data on the applicant, including name, address, email, telephone number and citizenship.
Residential details
Information about any residence or stay outside of the current country of residence for more than 6 months in the last 5 years.
Passport
Check passport information, including name, birthplace, validity and citizenship. Passport photos are also included and displayed on the applicant's case.
Drivers license
Check the information from the driver's license, including name, validity and categories of driver's license. Under 'Settings' of the screening type, you can set which categories of driving licences are required.
CV check
CV verification via government income and pension information. It is possible to set how far back the CV should be checked and whether to request additional documentation for CV gaps
References
Check of applicant references. An email is automatically sent to the listed references asking them to accept or reject - and, if necessary, attach a comment to - the employment relationship.
Business roles and company information
Check an applicant's possible business roles, including ownership and board and executive positions, as well as company form, ownership, bankruptcies and companies at the same address.
Residence and work permit
Check of residence and work permit, including country and duration.
Criminal record
Check the criminal record, including whether any convictions or fines have been listed, as well as a check of authenticity (whether it has been tampered with).
Education
Education information, including educational institution, education, level and diploma/certificate.
Research
Research includes publications history, research networks, funding, and extensive watchlists of critical/dual-use research areas, critical universities etc.
Financial information
Review and assessment of the person's overall financial situation to assess whether the person could potentially be vulnerable to financial pressures and thus pose a risk to the business. This part of is not automated and is always accompanied by an interview with the person.
Social media
Social media is NOT automated and not part of the standard packages, but can be purchased on a separate supplementary contract with its own legal basis.
Watchlists
With P-Secure, you can create watchlists yourself or use the predefined watchlists already on the platform.
Critical technologies
If an employee is working with technologies that may be the target of espionage or illegal knowledge transfer, you should pay particular attention to relationships with sanctioned countries or competing companies related to those countries.
Critical countries for espionage and terrorism
Countries identified by Danish and international intelligence agencies as being particularly at risk in relation to espionage, terrorist financing or state-sponsored threat activity. Screening helps identify potential security risks of association with these jurisdictions.
Sanctions lists
International sanctions lists from the United Nations, the European Union, the United States and other authorities that identify individuals, companies and organizations subject to economic restrictions and trade bans. Screening ensures compliance with regulatory sanction obligations.
Industry-specific hotlists
These lists are compiled and shared between companies and research institutions on an ad hoc basis, e.g. as part of a non-disclosure statement prior to a research project. A common hot list ensures that disability challenges and relationships with problematic competitors are automatically identified.
Red Notice (Interpol)
Check the applicant's status on Interpol's Red Notice list, which lists people wanted internationally. However, there may be political motives behind a search, so the list should be used with caution.
Politically Exposed Persons (PEP)
Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) are current or former holders of significant public office as well as their close family members. PEP screening identifies individuals who may be particularly at risk as targets of attack, extortion, or recruitment attempts by foreign intelligence agencies or criminal actors because of their position or affiliation with centers of power.
Critical universities
Foreign research institutions with documented links to military programs, intelligence agencies or regimes that pose a threat to Danish security. Screening protects against illegal knowledge transfer and research espionage.
