The Assigned Background Compliance Number (ABC#) is a unique identifier, like a phone number, issued the first time a background check is completed. Organizations onboarding contractors request an ABC# to validate who they are onboarding, creating trust between all parties.

The industry working group created a solution that provides for 1 of 4 possible levels of Individual Compliance (IC) to be returned for each person with a completed background check. The IC score goes from IC01 (highest score), through to IC02, ICO3 & IC04 (lowest score).
