Government Sector

We have extensive experience assisting government with the screening and vetting of candidates.

We were an inaugural panel member of the Australian Government Security Vetting Agency (AGSVA) in 2010. Our team continues to work alongside of the Australian government to conduct national security clearances to keep Australia safe.

Local and state government departments can vet staff for any ‘position of trust’ in a streamlined and consistent way, without duplication of existing processes. We also work with procurement teams by checking the background of shortlisted Tenderer’s key personnel – at no cost to the procurement team – which drives efficiencies and effectiveness of the due diligence process.

The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) employs 80,000 temporary workers. State Electoral Commissions also employ large numbers of citizens for a very short periods of time. Foreign influence in our democracy is at an all-time high but currently this element is not being checked adequately. Contigency workers for ABS Census (17,000) and MyHealth Record (900,000 users) have access to commonwealth resources and need to properly screened. Read more here  12>

Cyber Risk Audit

Around 34% of breaches involve malicious internal actors (not fat finger or clicking on a bad link). 59% of organisations have experienced at least one malicious insider attack over the last 12 months. The inclusion of an assessment of personnel in a cyber security assessment increases the value of the entire audit. It offers an unprecedented, deeper and more comprehensive understanding of an organisation’s threat surface. By using government vetting standards together with red/amber/green quantitative results, the audit aids the security posture and establishes a baseline level of cyber hygiene. Insurance companies see  value, too, as they can better determine the likelihood of a malicious attack caused by an insider threat actor. Read more here 1> 2> 3> 4>

Australia’s critical infrastructure

If you are an owner or operator in the telecommunications, electricity, gas, water and ports sectors, to name a few, then we can help you identify the risks of sabotage, espionage and coercion in your workforce as you manage evolving national security risks. A police check will not do. Existing Critical Infrastructure Centre practice and new framework and legalisation changes involve people risk. We have developed the first ever Critical Infrastructure Clearance to provide essential information on your workforce (and supply chain) via background checking & personnel security risk assessments.

ISM Compliance

The Australian Government, through the Australian Signals Directorate, Australia Cyber Security Centre produced the Information Security Manual. Compliance to Cyber Security Principle P10 is required. “Only trusted and vetted personnel are granted access to systems, applications and data repositories.”  The ISM’s Guidelines for Personnel Security’s  Security Control 0434 “Personnel undergo appropriate employment screening, and where necessary hold an appropriate security clearance, before being granted access to a system and its resources.” This appropriate, trusted vetting and screening entails more than a $50 police check, a ref check and ID check. We can assist you with your non-security clearance PSPF12 & PSPF13 compliance, vetting and personnel security measures. Read more here 1> 2> 3> 4> 5>

Retail Sector

The Australian Retailers Association estimates all forms of shoplifting (aka shrinkage) costs retailers $9.5B per year or 1-3% of gross profit. However the Theft Barometer 2020 also notes employee theft contributes between 50% and 81% of all shrinkage. Employees who embezzle are trusted members of the company’s team and it can be incredibly devastating to find out they have been ripping you off. Amplify your company’s screening program to deter & detect malicious trusted insiders, reduce your retail risk losses, improve your HR hygiene, security posture and bottom line.

Defence Industry

With or without a security clearance, it is important to verify that your workforce is not filled with unmitigated risks. Enhancing your human resource practices can deter and detect trusted insider hostile acts. We are a DISP L3 Member and the first to be approved to sponsor, facilitate and manage national security clearance portfolios, up to NV2. The ANAO Audit of the clearance process indicates that complex cases take on average 640 days (NV1). Reduce the risk of a bad hiring decision. Reduce the ‘doubt and delay’ of an official security clearance outcome. Make your process more streamlined, more harmonised – in short: faster, better and nimbler. Read more here 1> 2> 3> 4> 5>

Mining Industry

Sexual allegations in mining worksites are a blight on the reputation of the whole industry. One of the biggest suggestions for policy change discussed in a recent inquiry was whether an industry-wide register of sexual harassers should be developed so offenders cannot move between companies. It is a complex area but we tackle sexual harassment head on, one mining company at a time. Our sector specific “CL-M” answers the ‘how to’ report, ‘when to’ report and ‘who to report to’. Our deep, fair and fast background screening practices are second to none. Read more here 1 >

Health Sector

Personal Health Information is the some of the most precious pieces of information an individual can ever hold, nothing is more personal than what blood type you are, your diagnosis, pathology history and your DNA. However, 78% of healthcare providers have experienced at least one data breach. Data breaches orchestrated by malicious trusted insiders, distinct from accidental breaches, present a profoundly damaging scenario. This represents 1 in 4 of all breaches and is proven to be the most expensive type of data breach. Read more here 1 >
