Continuous Screening refers to the ongoing screening of individuals (such as employees, contractors, or volunteers) for any new criminal records, driving violations, sanctions, or other relevant updates after their initial background check. Instead of conducting one-time screenings at the time of hiring, Continuous Screening provides real-time or periodic alerts if new disqualifying information arises.

Key Features of Continuous Screening:

1. Real-Time or Periodic Updates
Automatically checks for new records (e.g., arrests, convictions, license suspensions). Can provide updates daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly, depending on the service.

2. Proactive Risk Management
Helps employers respond quickly to potential risks and take action if needed.
Reduces liability by ensuring ongoing compliance with regulatory requirements.

3. Automated Alerts
Employers receive notifications if an employee is flagged for new offenses.
Common categories include criminal activity, driving record updates, etc.

• Transportation & Logistics: Ensuring drivers maintain clean records.
