HireRight Announces New Global Sanctions and Enforcement Check for Compliance and Global Visibility; New Background Search Facilitates Patriot Act, FDIA, and Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance.

IRVINE, Calif. -- HireRight, the leader in on-demand employment background screening solutions, announced today the general availability of its Global Sanctions and Enforcement Check, a background search that helps companies comply with federal regulations and obtain global visibility to an applicant's history. This search also provides organizations with a robust resource for maintaining Financial Services-related regulatory compliance and reducing general hiring risk through additional search depth and global breadth.

The unique advantage of the Global Sanctions and Enforcement Check is that it consolidates multiple data sources into a single location, checking the databases of more than 70 U.S. and international legal and regulatory enforcement organizations for restricted, sanctioned and prohibited parties. The HireRight search's breadth helps firms to comply with Patriot Act, Federal Deposit Insurance Act (FDIA) and Sarbanes-Oxley legislation while also providing companies in all industries with a new search option for gaining greater visibility globally.

Checking key U.S. financial governing programs like the Federal Reserve List of Enforcement Actions, the Global Sanctions and Enforcement Check provides a comprehensive review of all parties restricted to act in a financial capacity within the U.S. as listed under the FDIA.

In support of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, the Global Sanctions and Enforcement Check includes U.S. and international financial sanctions bodies which identify persons that may expose an organization to financial fraud.

Additionally, the Global Sanctions and Enforcement Check includes the Office of Foreign Asset and Control (OFAC) specially designated nationals and blocked persons list, used for Patriot Act compliance.

"To date, complying with screening provisions set forth by the Patriot Act, FDIA legislation or even Sarbanes-Oxley, and finding ways to check into sanctions, law enforcement and regulatory enforcement databases has posed a significant challenge because the data is stored and created by many different entities and government agencies worldwide," said David Nachman, HireRight vice president of product management. "HireRight's Global Sanctions and Enforcement Check helps to resolve this issue by compiling many searches into one, ultimately providing organizations with a comprehensive solution that truly increases their visibility into a person's international background, enabling them to minimize risk and make a more informed hiring decision."

In countries where limited criminal histories are available, HireRight's Global Sanctions and Enforcement Check also enables organizations to gain increased visibility to activities that may have occurred outside their current location and retain consistency across global background screening programs.
