Vet the people
who protect others.

Yes. Most EU member states and the UK require security companies to conduct enhanced criminal record checks before deploying guards or response team members. Licensing authorities — such as the SIA in the UK or national equivalents across Europe — will not grant or renew licences to individuals with certain convictions. Failure to vet staff can result in loss of operating licence.

Scaut provides access to national criminal databases in 150+ countries, including enhanced disclosure levels where available. For security roles, checks typically include spent and unspent convictions, cautions, and where permitted, soft intelligence held by police authorities. International checks are run where a candidate has lived or worked abroad.

Yes. Scaut verifies security industry licences, first aid certificates, conflict management training, and other role-specific qualifications directly with issuing authorities. This confirms both that the licence exists and that it has not been suspended, revoked, or allowed to lapse.

Security companies frequently subcontract to specialist teams or temporary staff for large events or deployments. Scaut screens subcontractor personnel through the same platform as direct employees — they receive a digital invitation, complete the consent and submission process, and results are returned to your dashboard with the same audit trail.

Scaut is built for scale. You can initiate screening for hundreds of individuals simultaneously via bulk upload or API. Identity and criminal checks often return within minutes to hours. The platform tracks all open screenings in one dashboard so deployment managers always have live visibility of vetting status.

Fully. Each subject provides explicit, informed consent before any data is collected. All personal data is stored within the EU, and Scaut acts as a data processor on your behalf. You receive a complete consent and audit trail for every screening, suitable for licensing authority inspection.
