CRA Syndicate is a Shared Services Organization (SSO) that serves multiple Consumer Reporting Agencies, including SafestHires.

They created the National Background Screening Accreditation Board (NBSAB) for their member companies.

The NBSAB accreditation program is for Consumer Reporting Agencies (CRAs), affiliated with CRA Syndicate, that are located in the United States.

Governed by a strict and thorough set of professional standards, specified requirements and measurements, the National Background Screening Accreditation Board accreditation is a seal of approval bringing recognition to employment screening organizations for achieving excellence through high professional standards with accountability that results in continued institutional improvement.

The NBSAB provides a detailed process for evaluating and improving internal operating procedures that CRAs, and their clients, benefit from. Accredited CRAs have made a commitment to uphold and deliver the highest level of industry standards for the following critical areas:

> Information Security
> Legal and Compliance
> Client Education
> Researcher and Data Standards
> Verification Services Standards
> Business Practices

To become accredited, firms must demonstrate initial and ongoing compliance with the Accreditation Standard. Compliance is demonstrated through rigorous desk and on-site audits, all of which are completed by an independent third-party auditor.

Firms must document each of their policies and processes as required in each of the areas within the Standard and demonstrate visible compliance with their policies to the auditor. 

SafestHires maintains and follows all of the required NBSAB policies.

We have posted the policies here on our website for anyone to review.
