Shield partners with Cerebrum to deliver a multi-layered biometric-based identity verification solution that provides a clear, verified foundation for background screenings.

A social trace reveals the name(s), DOB and addresses associated with a submitted SSN. This product also indicates if the SSN appears on the SSA's death index registry. While the contents of an SSN trace do not appear in a report, we use this information as a pointer file to begin the first layer of a background investigation.

This service verifies if the SSN holder’s name, date of birth, and SSN match SSA’s records. CBSV returns a match verification of “yes” or “no.” If records show that the SSN holder is deceased, CBSV returns a death indicator.

A fingerprint background check is a method of verifying an individual's identity and researching their criminal history by matching their fingerprints against criminal and civil databases, primarily the FBI's Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS). This process uses fingerprints collected via traditional ink or electronic "live scan" methods to search for a "rap sheet" of arrests, charges, and dispositions, along with other biographic information like name, date of birth, and residence. The check is used for employment, licensing, and other legal or personal reasons.
