Make informed decisions with our comprehensive background checks & due diligence reports for individuals and businesses. Whether you’re hiring, partnering, or investing, we help you verify identities, evaluate potential risks, and ensure compliance with thorough investigations tailored to your needs.
Our tiered service levels – Screening, Screening + Open Source Assessment (OSINT), Extensive Check, and Management Check deliver structured and interest-weighted information gathering, compiled in detailed reports with expert analyses and clear recommendations. Each element is individually assessed and cross-checked to uncover inconsistencies or risks.
The scope of each check is defined by the role’s responsibilities – such as financial authority, access to sensitive data, or influence on brand and operations – ensuring relevance and proportionality.
Using proven methodologies, we help you make confident next steps by highlighting critical findings and clarifying potential red flags.

Basic Check
The screening is conducted in P-Secure – in collaboration with Guardian SRM – and applies to candidates for roles where verification of identity, background, and professional history is required to ensure trust, compliance, and operational security. The process includes verification of identity via electronic ID or passport, as well as checks of basic personal data, residence history, driver’s license, and criminal record. In addition, education, business affiliations, and previous employment are verified through CV analysis and reference checks. Supplementary modules include assessments of research affiliations, publications, and potential links to sensitive environments or sanctioned entities. As part of the screening, Guardian SRM may also perform contextual analysis of open-source media (OSINT), adverse media, and possible conflicts of interest. The screening is suitable for both recruitment and regulatory purposes and is particularly relevant for roles involving access to internal systems, sensitive data, or financial responsibilities. It may also be applied to external consultants or vendors acting on behalf of the organization, ensuring alignment with compliance standards and minimizing risk.

Basic Check Plus
As a supplement to the automated background check in P-Secure, Guardian SRM offers specialized analysis of open-source media (OSINT) as well as assessments of media coverage (adverse media), conflicts of interest, and other matters requiring contextual evaluation in relation to the employment relationship. Based on the analysis, Guardian will prepare a report with conclusions and upload it to the case in P-Secure. The report will only include observations and conclusions deemed relevant to the employment relationship, and data will be stored exclusively in P-Secure.

Tailored Check
Used in situations where specific concerns or questions arise about an individual that go beyond the scope of standard screenings.
A bespoke assessment allows for a tailored investigation based on identified risks, suspicions, or information gaps—such as unexplained findings in prior checks, behavioural inconsistencies, or potential external influence. The assessment may include vulnerability and threat profiling, focused research into red flags, lifestyle and behaviour analysis, or mapping of personal and social networks. It is particularly useful when discretion is needed, or when a specific issue requires a deeper understanding of the individual’s background and risk exposure. Each assessment is scoped individually based on the case and the client’s specific questions.
