Background checks.
Informed decisions.

Contact Guardian to confirm availability, scope, timing and pricing for your assignment.

FOUR FOCUSED SERVICES

The right depth.
For the right purpose.

Routine screening and enhanced investigations have distinct scopes, pricing and review standards. Guardian will discuss the appropriate approach before an assignment begins.

01FOR EMPLOYERS

Routine background screening

A defined screening scope for hiring and workforce needs. Discuss the role, intended use and relevant verifications so the appropriate reporting process can be established.

A focused scope, clear pricing and purpose-specific review.
02FOR LEADERSHIP & FAMILY OFFICES

Enhanced executive research

A deeper research assignment for senior appointments and relationships involving significant trust or responsibility. The research questions and review standard are tailored to the decision.

A separate investigative scope for more complex questions.
03FOR BUSINESSES & INVESTMENT CLIENTS

Corporate due diligence

Research to inform the evaluation of companies and business relationships. Define the transaction, parties and questions that matter before selecting the depth of review.

Context for business decisions, with findings and limitations documented.
04FOR LAW FIRMS

Litigation-support research

Research support organized around counsel’s questions and the needs of a matter. Agree on the scope and reporting format so findings can be reviewed in context.

A clearly scoped research assignment supporting legal teams.
FROM QUESTION TO RESEARCH SCOPE

Clarity before
work begins.

One Guardian relationship connects screening and investigative research with your wider security needs.

  1. Tell us the purpose

    Share your organization, the type of assignment and the decision you need to support.

  2. Agree on the assignment

    Confirm available services, research scope, required authorizations, timing and fees with Guardian.

  3. Define the reporting standard

    Set expectations for the report, accuracy review and how questions or disputed information will be handled.

EMPLOYMENT-PURPOSE REPORTING

Purpose matters.
So does the process.

Employment background reporting requires an appropriate delivery process, including applicable Fair Credit Reporting Act procedures, accuracy controls and dispute handling. Enhanced research is not a way around those obligations.

Tell Guardian how the report will be used so the scope and applicable requirements can be reviewed before work starts.
