Our services and references
Background Screening, Business Intelligence
Automated background screening, end-to-end. Scaut offers a large range of verifications (including identity, criminal record, education, employment, sanctions and adverse media) for pre-employment screening, KYC checks, Supply Chain monitoring and more—so clients can make fast, consistent, defensible decisions with far less manual work.
Ongoing trust with role-based rechecks. Periodic monitoring for sensitive positions (employees and contractors) reduces insider-risk exposure and keeps access decisions aligned with current risk.
Global coverage, local nuance. Configurable packages and consistent reporting across countries and suppliers let organizations or customers scale screening programs enterprise-wide, control costs, and maintain a uniform risk posture.
Business Intelligence. Deep-dive investigations that can help to surface conflicts of interest, undisclosed affiliations, reputational issues, or fraud indicators—giving customers a defensible risk picture before granting access or awarding contracts.
Compliance and auditability. GDPR-aligned processing and concise, evidence- backed outputs help our customers meet governance needs, standardize policy enforcement, and pass audits with confidence.
Why it matters for cybersecurity
Personnel security as a control surface: Screening and monitoring reduce the probability of insider misuse, data leakage, and espionage by validating identities, histories, and conflicts of interest before and during access.
Risk triage at speed: Traffic-light outputs focus attention on high-risk findings for Security/HR/Compliance to act quickly and consistently.
Auditability: Structured, factual results support defensible hiring decisions and ongoing governance.
Security Features
Data protection & privacy by design. Encryption in transit and at rest, strict data minimization, per-tenant isolation, configurable retention, and comprehensive, tamper-evident audit logs help organizations or customers meet GDPR expectations and preserve evidence for reviews and audits.
Our platform employs end-to-end encryption using AES-256 and TLS 1.3 protocols, ensuring that data remains protected both in transit and at rest.

Integrations & delivery model
API-first architecture to embed orders and results into ATS/HRIS workflows; quick self-service for ad-hoc checks.

Compliance: NIS2, DORA, ZKI, SOC 2
SCAUT supports personnel-security controls that intersect with EU regulatory frameworks (e.g., NIS2-driven governance and supplier oversight) by verifying trust in individuals before access is granted and by enabling evidence-backed decision records. Its concise outputs and configurable risk thresholds help organizations operationalize policies without over-engineering.
