The Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) is a series of checks designed to provide a level of assurance to the trustworthiness and integrity of those with access to confidential assets or information. It complies with the screening requirements for all civil servants, members of the Armed Forces, temporary staff and government contractors, and any organisation that provides services to these groups.

A typical package includes:

  • Basic criminal disclosure
  • ID verification
  • Right to work document verification
  • Three year activity verification (no gaps of 28 days or more)

A BPSS must be applied to any individual who, in the course of their work, has access to government assets.
