Settle your score with ShieldHub.
The Consumer Reporting Agency (CRA) adjudicates the report using ShieldHub’s proprietary standardization algorithms to create a composite ShieldScoreTM that communicates safety while keeping the details of your background check report private. ShieldScore offers five levels of risk scoring from IC01+ to IC04:
ShieldHub provides risk scoring standardization for the basis of the ShieldScore™ and is not responsible for the engagement acceptance criteria set by the Client’s Policies. ShieldScore™ considers both the severity and count of criminal convictions in the scope of the background check when determining a composite score. The visual matrix representation identifies thresholds for severity of criminal convictions, total of convictions allowable per level of scoring, is for informational purposes, and is not inclusive of every category or type of crime. IC01+ designation will be available to ShieldIDs issued or updated beginning April 2, 2024.
Go beyond ordinary background checks.
If you’re a vendor or independent contractor that’s required to supply a background check, then ShieldHub may be right for you. Unlike traditional background checks that are only as good as the day they were written, ShieldScores are continuously monitored and updated and can be used all year long. Use ShieldHub to secure more client business by joining client trusted networks so they always know you’re eligible for work.
