IntelliCorp Achieves Background Screening Credentialing Council Reaccreditation

BEACHWOOD, Ohio, March 15, 2016 — The National Association of Professional Background Screeners (NAPBS®) Background Screening Credentialing Council (BSCC) announced today that Intellicorp Records, Inc., a Verisk Analytics (Nasdaq:VRSK) business, has successfully demonstrated continued compliance with the Background Screening Agency Accreditation Program (BSAAP) and is recognized as BSCC-accredited.

“Retaining the NAPBS accreditation is an affirmation of IntelliCorp’s dedication to the industry and the clients we serve,” said Todd R. Carpenter, IntelliCorp president. “It means that our background screening best practices, high standards for data integrity, and commitment to excellence adhere to strict measures and operational guidelines. This mark of distinction is a testament to all our employees and their commitment to delivering best-in-class services, solutions, and processes to our clients."

Each year, U.S. employers, organizations, and governmental agencies request millions of consumer reports to assist with critical business decisions involving background screening. Background screening reports, which are categorized as consumer reports, are currently regulated at both the federal and state level.

Since its inception, the NAPBS has maintained that there is a strong need for a singular, cohesive industry standard and, therefore, created the BSAAP. Governed by a strict professional standard of specified requirements and measurements, the BSAAP is becoming a widely recognized seal of achievement that brings national recognition to background screening organizations (also referred to as consumer reporting agencies). This recognition will stand as the industry “seal,” representing a background screening organization’s commitment to excellence, accountability, high professional standards, and continued institutional improvement.

The BSCC oversees the application process and is the governing accreditation body that validates that the background screening organizations seeking accreditation meet or exceed a measurable standard of competence. To become accredited, consumer reporting agencies must pass a rigorous on-site audit, conducted by an independent auditing firm, of its policies and procedures as they relate to six critical areas: consumer protection, legal compliance, client education, product standards, service standards, and general business practices.

Any U.S.-based employment screening organization is eligible to apply for accreditation. A copy of the standard, the policies and procedures, and measurements is available at www.napbs.com.
