Alternatives to Shield Screening
Other Background screening vendors we measure, sorted by how much they publish that Shield Screening does not. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 33 that differ from Shield Screening on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
Shield Screening has 11 gaps in what we could measure: Data processing agreement, Subprocessor list, Data location stated, Status page with history, Public pricing, Certifications named, Uptime SLA with a figure, HTTPS enforced with HSTS, No third-party tracking before consent, security.txt (RFC 9116), Notice before subprocessors change. The column “publishes and Shield Screening does not” is the one that closes them.
