Insperity Background Checks Ending: Why Choose a Domestic USA Provider to Safeguard Your Applicants' PII

With Insperity set to end its background check services on September 30, 2025, businesses are urgently seeking reliable alternatives to maintain compliant and secure hiring processes. A key consideration often overlooked is whether your new provider offshores work overseas, potentially exposing applicants' personally identifiable information (PII) to risks. Many large background check companies outsource operations abroad, sending sensitive data like Social Security numbers and addresses to countries with varying privacy laws. At 3rd Degree Screening, a PBSA-accredited provider based in the USA, all background check work is performed domestically, ensuring top-tier data security, compliance, and peace of mind. Here's why prioritizing a domestic provider matters and how 3rd Degree Screening makes the transition seamless.

The Risks of Offshoring Background Checks: Protecting PII in a Global Landscape

As businesses transition from Insperity, it's crucial to vet providers for offshoring practices. Outsourcing background screening overseas is common among industry giants, but it introduces significant vulnerabilities:

• Data Security Threats: Sending PII abroad can expose it to weaker privacy regulations, increasing the risk of breaches, identity theft, and unauthorized access. Foreign jurisdictions may lack the stringent protections of U.S. laws like the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), leaving your business liable for any mishandling.
• Compliance Challenges: Offshored operations might not fully align with U.S. consumer protection standards, potentially leading to legal issues, fines, or reputational damage if data is compromised.
• Lack of Oversight: When work is done overseas, transparency diminishes. Mistakes in data handling or negligence can occur without the same level of accountability, jeopardizing applicant trust and your hiring integrity.

These risks are amplified in an era of rising cyberattacks. By choosing a provider that keeps all operations within the USA, you mitigate these dangers and ensure your background checks remain secure and compliant.
