Why UK Security Companies Need Vetting and Screening Software
Vetting and screening is the process of verifying a candidate's identity, employment history, criminal record, right to work, and professional licences before they are employed. For UK security companies, this means complying with BS7858:2019 — the British Standard for the screening of individuals employed in a security environment.
BS7858 compliance is mandatory for SIA Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS) status. Non-compliance can result in loss of ACS status, contract termination by clients, and significant reputational damage. Manual vetting processes typically take 2-3 weeks and are prone to errors, missed checks, and poor audit trails. WFC Verify automates the entire process, reducing screening time to 48-72 hours while maintaining a complete, auditable record.
