What is covered in the criminal check?

Our process involves a comprehensive media search, conducted for one jurisdiction at a time, to identify associations of the subject with criminal activities. We analyse media content using predefined criteria aligned with nine specific categories of criminal behaviour. Only events involving legal proceedings linked to criminal acts will be reported, ensuring accuracy and reliability. Allegations or accusations without legal proceedings will not be included in the report.

• Drug
• Financial
• Governmental
• Homicide
• Motor record
• Sexual offences
• Terrorism
• Theft & cybercrime
• Violent behaviour

Geo-localised Searches: Searches are tailored to the jurisdiction specified in the order, ensuring relevance and accuracy in the results. 

Automated Resolution: Cases yielding no results are automatically resolved and marked as “No negative records found” status, streamlining the search process 

AI/Text Mining Solution: Cases returning results undergo analysis by our custom proprietary AI/text mining solution. This solution extracts publication content, scans, categorizes information, and assesses its relevance to the verification process. 

Multi-Phase Review: Results identified as relevant undergo thorough human review, conducted in several phases: 

• Initial Review: Preliminary assessment of extracted information for relevance and significance.
• In-depth Analysis: Further examination of relevant findings to evaluate their credibility and potential impact.
• Quality Assurance: Final verification conducted by experienced analysts to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the report. 

Confirmation Process: Findings that cannot be confirmed or denied due to a lack of publicly available information are excluded from the report, maintaining integrity and transparency.
