When conducting background checks, it is important to look specifically for screening providers that are accredited by the Professional Background Screening Association (PBSA). The global organization was established to protect the interests of companies that offer background screening services and to promote a high level of ethics and performance standards across the screening industry. Companies that are accredited with the PBSA adhere to a rigorous and comprehensive set of professional standards, making the commitment to upholding the highest levels of industry standards in information security, client education, researcher and data standards, legal and compliance, verification services standards, and business practices.
