Secure your Checkr surface
Background check completion evidence, and the highly sensitive data that comes with it. We don’t connect to Checkr to collect evidence for its own sake — we connect to secure it, and the compliance artefacts follow from that work.

Where Checkr goes wrong
Checkr goes wrong through retention and reach: background check results are among the most sensitive data you hold, and they linger.
- Background check results accessible beyond those making hiring decisions
- Results retained well past the period required
- API credentials with broad account scope
- Adverse action records held without a defensible retention position
- Checks not completed for roles your policy requires them for
[02] What We Secure
What we watch, catch and fix on Checkr
On Checkr we restrict result access and drive retention to legal requirement rather than leaving it indefinite.
- Result access restricted, since this is among the most sensitive personal data you hold
- Retention aligned to legal requirement rather than left indefinite
- API credential scope tracked
- Adverse action record handling reviewed
- Coverage measured against your own screening policy, so a missed check is visible
[03] Where It Lands
Where Checkr lands in your registers
HR data is what makes access review meaningful: every entitlement across every connected system is reconciled against the people who actually work here, so a leaver with live access is a finding within hours rather than at the next quarterly review. The asset register records the HR platform as a critical dependency holding significant personal data, and the risk register carries both the insider risk and the data protection exposure that comes with it.
[04] How We Engage
On Checkr specifically
On Checkr, we restrict result access and drive retention compliance. Screening policy alignment we plan with your HR and legal teams.
Platform licence
Everything you need to find and fix it yourself, with no ceiling on the depth of the answer.
- Every connected tool monitored for misconfiguration and drift, with findings mapped to the assets and risks they affect
- Remediation guidance that tells you what is wrong and exactly how to fix it — however deep or awkward the issue is. We are engineers running a security company, so the answer is the real one, not a link to vendor documentation
- Assets, access reviews, and risk register populated from the tools themselves rather than from spreadsheets
- Unlimited integrations and unlimited users, with anything missing built within two weeks
Managed service
Every tool you connect through Konfirmity comes under our care, with our team doing the work.
- Continuous misconfiguration and drift monitoring across every connected tool, watched by our analysts rather than by a dashboard waiting for you
- Incident response led by us, with containment coordinated with your team
- Remediation performed directly wherever you have granted us the authority to act — and where we cannot act, we project-manage the fix to completion rather than handing you a ticket
- Decision support on the tools themselves: where something is failing you on capability or costing more than it returns, we will tell you, and help you replace it
[05] Checkr FAQs
What Checkr access does Konfirmity need?
Konfirmity needs read access to report status and completion metadata only. We verify that required checks were completed for the roles your policy covers. The report contents themselves are not something we request or need.
Why does background check retention matter?
Background check retention matters because the data is highly sensitive and its lawful basis expires with the hiring decision. Retaining results indefinitely turns a justified one-off processing activity into an ongoing liability, and it is one of the more common findings in this category.
