The problem is profound. The solution is obvious. If you use outside contractors to work in your facility you have every right to insist on a copy of the security check of the vendor company.

For example, you hire a company to help build your web page on site. Somebody shows up and you provide a computer with full access. You would never allow the same access to an employee without a careful review of their history, but there is the person sitting at the computer with full access and you don’t know anything.

If you require employees doing the same work as the vendor’s employee, and you should, you must insist on background information that meets your standards. The vendor will have their standards as well but you don’t know if they are the same as yours.

You also don’t know if they were pressed for time and sent somebody to your office before the full background check was complete. Finally, you don’t know if they made assumptions you can’t live with.

This is true if the temporary employee works on your computers or as a Janitor. Since most of these temporary employees don’t have name badges you need to check them all.
