CBS provides employment screening aligned with recognised regulatory and industry frameworks. These standards help organisations ensure that individuals working in positions of trust have been appropriately vetted before gaining access to sensitive environments.
BPSS Security Clearance
Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) screening is essential for roles in civil service, armed forces, and government contracting, ensuring eligibility and trustworthiness.
BS7858 Security Screening
BS7858 is the industry-standard procedure for pre-employment screening, ensuring compliance and protecting sensitive environments.
PCI DSS Compliance Screening
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance screening helps organisations protect cardholder data and reduce the risk of fraud, insider threat and data breaches.
FCA Screening
Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) screening refers to employment screening conducted to support regulatory compliance within financial services organisations.
Screening Standards for Employment Vetting
Many organisations operate in regulated or high-risk environments where employment screening must meet defined security or regulatory standards.
Frameworks such as Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS), BS7858 security screening, Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) screening establish clear expectations for how individuals should be vetted before being granted access to sensitive systems, data or environments.

Why Screening Standards Matter
Employment screening standards exist to protect organisations, employees, customers and the public from potential risks. These frameworks help ensure individuals working in sensitive roles have been appropriately vetted before gaining access to systems, data, financial assets or secure environments.
Organisations often adopt formal screening standards to:
- Protect sensitive information and infrastructure
- Reduce insider threat and fraud risk
- Demonstrate regulatory compliance
- Meet contractual requirements
- Maintain organisational reputation and trust
For many sectors including financial services, government, infrastructure, technology and security, these screening standards are a contractual or regulatory expectation.

Organisations operating under formal screening frameworks must demonstrate that their vetting processes are consistent, documented and defensible.
