Person & Organisation Checks

Pre-employment screening and company checks are essential for organisations to verify prospective employees, partners, or providers before entering into any professional relationship. In an age where vast amounts of information are available online, thorough vetting is no longer optional — it is a critical safeguard against legal, financial, and reputational risks.

A candidate’s or company’s history, conduct, and online presence can reveal warning signs that might otherwise remain hidden. Identifying these early helps protect your organisation from costly mistakes. Whether it’s hiring a senior executive, onboarding a contractor, or engaging a new supplier, conducting robust checks ensures you can move forward with confidence.

Negligent hiring or poor due diligence can result in serious consequences — from data breaches and intellectual property theft to reputational damage that can spread rapidly via social media and online news. In today’s environment, the actions and behaviour of individuals or companies you associate with can directly impact your brand, stakeholder trust, and competitive position.

While many providers rely solely on automated checks, these systems can overlook critical details. At Kiris Group we combine advanced technology with expert human analysis to ensure the process is thorough, information is accurate, and checks are tailored to meet specific needs. Kiris Group analysts have extensive and varied experience in conducting due diligence, complex person and company investigations, and using open source and social media intelligence to uncover and assess potential risks.

Screening levels

We offer a range of bespoke background checks on both individuals and organisations. This can vary from reports that include personal or corporate identity verification or registration and legitimacy checks, through to enhanced reports validating employment, education, professional activities or history, searches on sanctions and regulatory compliance checks. Deeper reports can examine corporate structure, beneficial ownership and other operational risks. We review online presence across open, deep and dark web. Disclosure and Barring Service checks for UK based candidates and international criminal record searches are also available with any screening level.

Whether a basic verification or an enhanced investigation is needed, we can manage the process end-to-end. All checks are carried out in strict accordance with GDPR and other applicable data protection regulations, ensuring that all personal and corporate data is handled fairly, lawfully, and securely.

The right partners and employees are your greatest asset, the wrong ones can be your greatest liability. Partner with Kiris Group to make well-informed, risk-aware decisions. Contact us to discuss a screening package tailored to your needs.
