We are thrilled to announce that Shield Screening has renewed its accreditation with the Professional Background Screening Association for another year," said Tom Ellis, Executive Vice President of Shield Screening's Protection Services group.. As a company, we are committed to not only delivering services that are crafted with a combined experience of over 100 years in the industry, but they are also rigorously validated by our ongoing compliance with the PBSA's standards.

Thousands of U.S. employers, organizations, and government agencies request millions of consumer reports each year as part of their background screening process in order to assist with critical business decisions. Currently, background screening reports, which can be categorized as consumer reports, are regulated both at the federal and state levels. 
PBSA has maintained since its inception that there is a strong need for a singular, cohesive industry standard and, therefore, it has created BSOAP in order to meet that need. A strict professional standard governed by specific requirements and measurements, the BSOAP has come to be recognized as a widely recognized seal of achievement that brings national recognition to background screening organizations (also referred to as Consumer Reporting Agencies).. There is no doubt that this recognition will stand as the "seal" of the industry, indicating that a background screening organization is dedicated to excellence, accountability, high professional standards and continuous improvement of the institution as a whole

Shield Screening adheres to the highest standards of compliance in the background screening industry, and we ensure that this is accomplished by having all of our tenured employees obtain individual PBSA basic certifications, according to Ellis.. The compliance and tenured criminal specialists at our firm go a step further by obtaining advanced certifications through the PBSA. As a result of our commitment to professional development and adhering to industry best practices, we guarantee our clients that they will receive the most accurate and reliable screening services on the market.."

It is the responsibility of the BSCC to oversee the application process and to validate that the background screening organizations seeking accreditation have met or exceeded a measurable standard of competence in the field of background screening. As part of the accreditation process, consumer reporting agencies must undergo a rigorous onsite audit, conducted by an independent auditing firm, which analyzes their policies and procedures as they relate to six critical areas: consumer protection, legal compliance, client education, product standards, service standards, and general business practices.
