Over the past four years, since the program inception with the Safety Council – SC Basic Package, there have been several program enhancements. In 2003 a Social Security Number Verification process was deployed and in 2005 the Basic Package was upgraded to include the grading or adjudication of criminal background and Patriot Act search results.

The current SC “graded” package and SSV process are recognized as industry standards for contractor security screening. The overall success of the program can be defined in the shear volume of the workforce that has been screened through the SCSC model.

Grading :

Grading of criminal searches is conducted for eight levels, scaling up from “00” = clear record, “01” & “02” misdemeanors, “03” through “06” = felonies and “07” = Patriot Act Search hit. Once all county level jurisdictional searches are completed, a final package grade will be associated with the applicants record.
