The background check is often done only at the start of employment and not continuously through the employment.
This creates a risk that mistakes will be made or that there will be no timely follow-up.
It can be difficult to navigate as there may be different requirements for different employee duties.
Lack of automation makes it challenging to comply with regulatory requirements.
It can be difficult to document compliance and ensure data protection if you do not have an effective tool for this.

Likewise, they may conflict with the new DORA and CER directives, which will come into force in 2024, which impose special requirements on critical infrastructure companies.
Lack of background checks can result in negative publicity or media storms, which can seriously damage your company's reputation and affect customers' trust and perception of your business.
A tool that can support and streamline the screening process will make it easier to comply with various regulatory requirements.
