What Is PBSA Accreditation?
The Professional Background Screening Association (PBSA) is the leading industry association that establishes and maintains the most rigorous accreditation standards for background screening providers, which are administered through the Background Screening Credentialing Council.
PBSA accreditation is awarded through the Background Screening Organization Accreditation Program (BSOAP), the industry’s single, cohesive standard for employment and background screening organizations.
Through this program, PBSA verifies that accredited providers:
- Operate ethically and responsibly
- Comply with federal, and state consumer reporting laws
- Maintain strong data privacy and information security practices
- Deliver accurate, reliable, and transparent background screening services
PBSA accreditation is a globally recognized seal of approval that demonstrates a background screening provider’s dedication to:
- Accountability
- High professional standards
- Operational excellence
- Continuous institutional improvement
As a global organization, PBSA also addresses international screening policies, global data privacy regulations, and background screening challenges within the gig economy.
What It Takes to Become PBSA Accredited
Not all background screening providers earn PBSA accreditation. To achieve and maintain accreditation, Allied Screening was required to meet strict standards established by the Background Screening Credentialing Council (BSCC).
The accreditation process includes:
- Demonstrating initial and ongoing compliance with PBSA standards
- Completing a comprehensive desk audit of policies and procedures
- Undergoing a rigorous virtual audit conducted by an independent third-party auditor
- Validating visible, documented compliance across all operational areas
To maintain accreditation, providers must re-complete the accreditation process every five years, ensuring continued compliance with evolving regulations and industry best practices.
