Security authorisations are not sufficient

Defense and readiness contractors have long been subject to requirements for proper security clearances by the Defense Intelligence Service, just as suppliers to many government agencies are subject to a security clearance via PET. As a result of Law of Resilience of Critical Units, many of these companies will additionally be subject to a background check requirement on the other employees. In other words, it is not sufficient that individual employees, for example, have security clearance by the Armed Forces Intelligence Service.

Certifications and systematic employee management

Companies are increasingly faced with requirements for certifications such as ISO, ISAE or other frameworks. These require a systematic approach to employee management, including control of hiring processes.For public procurement, such certifications often become a requirement, due to the chain responsibility described in the EU CER Directive.

Special requirements for defense contractors

Suppliers to the defense may face additional requirements, especially if the contract involves handling classified information. Here, the defence may require guarantees of confidentiality and screening of subcontractors. We are seeing a growing demand from companies that want to aggregate the overview of their own background checks, applications with the police or intelligence agencies on one unified platform.
