Question PPPR-09

Do you perform background screenings or multi-state background checks on all employees prior to their first day of work?

Standard Guidance

EDUCAUSE provides no guidance here

Answering "NO"

State plans to implement background check elements into your hiring process.

Answering "YES"

Summarize your background check practices.

Reason for Question

The use of detective and preventive controls in the hiring process served a valuable role in protecting institutional data. As these are often HR documented policies, a vendor should have their practices well-documented and ready for review, upon request.

Follow-Up Inquiries

Ask the vendor if background checks and/or screening are conducted in any capacity, at any time during the employment period. Ask about the precautions they take to ensure the intellectual property is secured and inquire if user data is treated in an appropriate manner.
