About the Professional Background Screening Association (PBSA) and Accreditation Program
While the PBSA itself (formerly the National Association of Professional Background Screeners, or NAPBS) was founded in 2003, the formal accreditation program that sets professional standards and requires rigorous, independent audits was developed and implemented a several years later. To achieve accreditation status, companies must undergo a comprehensive audit of their policies and procedures in six key areas to achieve and maintain this accreditation:

• Information Security
• Legal and Compliance
• Client Education
• Researcher and Data Standards
• Verification Services Standards
• Business Practices

The accreditation must be renewed every five years, with a surveillance audit conducted three years into the cycle, to ensure ongoing compliance with industry standards.
