Automated enhanced background checks for aviation & air transport
Access to security restricted areas (airside) at airports requires compliance with EU aviation security regulations (Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1998). This includes enhanced background checks covering identity verification, 5 years CV verification with no undocumented gaps exceeding 28 days and other required controls. These requirements also apply across the air cargo supply chain, including Regulated Agents (RA), Known Consignors (KC), Known Suppliers, and other approved entities - even where no physical airside access is granted.

Challenges in aviation security compliance
The aviation and air cargo industry operates under strict and evolving aviation security requirements.
Organisations must ensure that employees, contractors, and partners undergo proper enhanced background checks and that all documentation meets strict regulatory standards. In practice, this is often complex and resource-intensive.
Manual processes can lead to:
- Delays in onboarding
- Incomplete or inconsistent documentation
- Increased risk of non-compliance and closure of access rights
- Time-consuming audit preparation
At the same time, regulatory expectations continue to evolve, requiring organisations to maintain accurate, traceable, and audit-ready records at all times.

Security for partners in aviation and air cargo
Regulated Agents (RA)
Regulated Agents are organisations authorised by the competent authority to handle, process, or store air cargo and mail on behalf of airlines, ensuring that security controls are applied in accordance with EU aviation security regulations. They play acritical role in securing cargo before it enters the airport environment.
Regulatory requirements
Regulated Agents must comply with national aviation security programmes and oversight from competent authorities such as the Danish Civil Aviation and Railway Authority (Trafikstyrelsen)
This includes:
- Enhanced background checks of relevant personnel
- Implementation of security procedures
Ongoing compliance and regular audits
Known Consignors / Customers / Charterers
Known Consignors are companies authorised to ship cargo by air without additional security screening, provided they meet strict aviation security requirements.
Typical examples include:
- Manufacturing companies shipping goods by air freight
- Distributors of aircraft parts
- Museums and institutions transporting valuable items
These organisations must ensure that personnel and processes comply with aviation security requirements, including enhanced background checks where applicable.
The need for modern background screening
The impact
As EU aviation security requirements have tightened, many organisations face increasing pressure to modernise their background check processes.
Manual workflows often result in:
Limited visibility
Administrative burden
Delays in onboarding
Insufficient doucmentation
Inefficient audit preparation
Security infrastructure for the future of aviation
The opportunity
Today’s aviation operators must balance strict compliance requirements with operational efficiency.
As regulations evolve and workforce mobility increases, organisations need automated and continuous background screening that reduces risk without slowing operations.
Maintain continuous compliance
Move beyond one-time checks with:
- Automated CV verification (5-year history)
- Documentation of all employment gaps over 28 days
- Centralised, audit-ready records
- Security and GDPR-compliance
Ensure alignment with EU aviationsecurity regulations and national authority requirements at all times.
