The article emphasizes the evolving necessity of modernizing corporate background checks to protect assets and personnel, particularly amidst growing regulatory constraints and sophisticated insider threats. It underscores the limits of traditional checks, which focus primarily on criminal history and employment verification. These methods may not effectively predict future misconduct, as many offenders have clean records at the hiring stage. The piece advocates for a layered, risk-adjusted approach that incorporates behavioral screening tools to enhance the effectiveness of background checks and align with operational risk management strategies.
In today's evolving threat landscape, traditional background checks are limited; security leaders must adapt to insider threats and deceptive candidates.
Past criminality isn't the only - or best - indicator of future misconduct; behavioral screening is increasingly important.
