DBS checks access just 8% of available data. Our checks access 78%.
Compared with standard DBS checks the question is, ‘would you choose to employee staff knowing just 8% of their identity, or would you prefer to understand 78% of their past’?
Using factual 2018 UK crime stats showing 4.6m reported crimes we see how INSIGHT compares to standard DBS checks.
- Fig 1 shows the effectiveness of INSIGHT which can capture up to 78% of useful information.
- Fig 2 shows a standard DBS check ‘spotlighting’ only 8% of available information.
Both charts (shown below) use the same base line percentage of crimes detected by the police at 52%, in 2018, but DBS checks reduce the base line as it can only use information in the public domain. This is generally (with some minor exceptions) only conviction data.
By only using public domain information, DBS checks capture just 8% of recorded crime data and no additional intelligence. (NB Only 10% of reported crimes end up in court with an 82% conviction rate).

INSIGHT vs DBS checks
This is how INSIGHT is different.
By starting with the base line of detected crime standing at 52% of all recorded crime and adding intelligence from various agencies, the data capture is significantly greater than that available to a DBS check.
The limited ability of DBS checks is leaving companies widely exposed to potential risk. A comparison of how INSIGHT far outweighs DBS checks is provided below.
The background checks noted here can be split into different levels depending on the potential threat individual employees may pose to your organisation, such as low-risk, vulnerable or high-risk.

INSIGHT employee background checks
Welcome to ‘INSIGHT’ – the most comprehensive intelligence-led employee background checking service in the United Kingdom.
INSIGHT investigations can be tailored to meet the specific needs of any organisation. For example, employees who can affect the economic status of a business, such as directors or those working within finance, food production, cabin crew, etc, could pose a greater risk than employees working in more peripheral areas. As such, different levels of investigation can be conducted based on employee roles.

Why use INSIGHT to assess employee risk?
INSIGHT was developed for one purpose and one purpose only, to “SAFEGUARD”.
To safeguard the workplace, employees, employers, shareholders and the wider public at a realistic price point by promoting enhanced employee background checks based on facial recognition. The purpose of the following is to explain the benefits of INSIGHT when compared to the normally adopted DBS (Disclosure Barring Service) checks.
Rogue employees
Rogue employees have been known to present fake documents to avoid detection by standard checking methods, but INSIGHT, using state of the art facial recognition software to confirm analogue data, deals with this issue effectively.
Know your people
The concept of ‘know your people’ as part of a safeguarding strategy is essential and enables employers to make informed decisions about existing and prospective employees, to provide a safe working environment.
DBS checks
Existing standard DBS checks on employees are woefully inadequate and leave employers potentially exposed to the effects of rogue employees perusing a criminal or radicalised agenda.

INSIGHT integration
This is the process to embed INSIGHT within your organisation.
1 Assessment
Our agents will conduct an assessment of your business including your HR requirements, logistics and to agree upon initial types and numbers of employee checks to conduct.
2 Training
Due to the sensitivity of employee data we use highly sophisticated methods to transfer information. Our technicians will train you on how to access our systems.
3 Data transfer
Each time you upload data to be checked it passes through our high-security servers using industry leading end-to-end encryption which is certified for ISO 27001.
4 Investigation
Each employee record is researched independently and may involve varying intelligence agencies contributing towards a final evaluation.
5 Reporting
We use a simple traffic light system to report the status of each employee:
. Green gives the all clear.
. Amber signifies that you should proceed with caution. Details of the status are provided.
. This is a person of significant interest to the intelligence services. We will contact you to discuss necessary steps.
There is no limit on the number of employees you can check.
