BPSS screening package

While BPSS is not a formal security clearance, it provides a trusted baseline level of vetting that confirms an individual’s suitability to work in sensitive or security-focused and government environments. By completing these core checks before access is granted to sensitive data, systems or locations, BPSS reduces insider risk, strengthens organisational security and ensures a consistent, compliant approach to workforce vetting for both permanent employees and contractors.

How long does BPSS screening take?

BPSS clearance can be completed quickly, and in many cases we can obtain clearance in as little as 24 hours, particularly where employment and identity data can be verified instantly via pathways such as open banking and HMRC.

However, turnaround times can take longer if third parties are slow to confirm employment history or references, as these external responses can delay completion of the check.

Checks included in BPSS screening

  • 3 year address verification
  • Right to work check
