Regulations we keep you aligned with
FDIC Section 19 / NCUA Section 205(d)
Insured institutions are prohibited from employing individuals convicted of certain dishonesty offenses without regulator consent.
FCRA + state mini-FCRAs
Employment screening requires stand-alone disclosure, written authorization, and adverse-action workflows. State laws layer additional timing and notice obligations.
FFIEC Vendor Management
Examiners expect documented due diligence on third-party providers — SafestHires maintains SOC 2 Type II and PBSA accreditation evidence packages.

Adjudication tooling flags potential Section 19 / 205(d) offenses and routes them into a documented review workflow with FDIC consent-application support.

Yes. SafestHires holds Professional Background Screening Association (PBSA) accreditation and SOC 2 Type II attestation.
