We are formally recognized as a BSCC-Accredited background screening organization — demonstrating our commitment to the highest standards of compliance and consumer protection.
Research Services has earned formal recognition under the Background Screening Organization Accreditation Program (BSOAP) — a rigorous, independent certification process that evaluates every aspect of our operations.
Millions of consumer reports are requested for employment screening every year. To bring consistency and accountability to the industry, the Professional Background Screening Association (PBSA) established the BSOAP — a comprehensive accreditation program that holds companies to the highest possible standards.
To earn accreditation, organizations must pass a rigorous onsite audit conducted by an independent third-party firm. The audit evaluates performance across six critical areas of operations, ensuring that accredited companies meet or exceed established benchmarks in every category.
Ensuring applicant rights are upheld at every stage of the screening process.
Full adherence to FCRA, EEOC, and all applicable state and federal regulations.
Providing employers with the knowledge to use background reports lawfully and responsibly.
Maintaining accuracy, completeness, and consistency across all report types.
Delivering timely, reliable results with a high standard of client service.
Operating with financial integrity, data security, and sound business governance.
The Professional Background Screening Association (PBSA) was founded in 2003 as a nonprofit trade association representing over 900 member companies worldwide that provide tenant, employment, and background screening services. PBSA sets the standards that define best practices across the industry and advocates for responsible, compliant background screening on behalf of both employers and consumers.
