Why it matters
Energy and utilities companies operate at the intersection of public safety, national security, and critical infrastructure. Your workforce maintains power grids, manages water treatment systems, operates natural gas pipelines, and responds to emergencies that affect entire communities.
The consequences of a bad hire here go well beyond a single workplace incident. A compromised employee in a sensitive facility can create safety risks, regulatory violations, and in the most serious cases, infrastructure vulnerabilities that affect thousands of people.
Federal regulations including NERC CIP standards, Department of Energy requirements, and TSA pipeline security directives impose screening obligations that go beyond what a standard background check provider is equipped to handle. And beyond federal mandates, your own liability exposure demands a process that holds up under scrutiny.

Why Choose Us
NERC CIP, DOE, and TSA pipeline security directives each carry specific personnel security requirements. We help you build a screening process that satisfies those obligations and holds up under audit.
Roles with access to critical infrastructure require global watch list screening that goes beyond a standard domestic criminal check. Every relevant package includes it.
Field crews, plant operators, and anyone working with hazardous equipment or materials operate in safety-sensitive environments. We integrate drug screening into the right packages so it's part of your standard onboarding, not an afterthought.
Your security perimeter is only as strong as your contractor vetting process. We make it straightforward to screen third-party personnel under the same standards as your direct workforce.
Critical infrastructure can't wait for an annual rescreen to surface a post-hire incident. Our workforce monitoring keeps you informed in real time if something changes after onboarding.
Whether you're a regional utility or a national energy company, you pay only for the checks you run.
Protect your facilities, your workforce, and the communities you serve with a PBSA-accredited screening partner built for the complexity of energy and utilities hiring.
