Criminal Record Rechecks
Re-run county, state, and federal searches to catch records outside continuous-monitoring feeds.

What Periodic Rescreening Covers
Re-run the right checks on the right schedule.
Rescreening is a point-in-time recheck of the original screening components, or a policy-defined subset. Scope and frequency are configured by position.
MVR Reruns
Verify ongoing driver compliance, violations, and license-status changes.
License Re-Verification
Confirm professional licenses remain active, unrestricted, and renewed.
Employment & Education Re-Verification
Reverify qualifications where ongoing credential accuracy is critical.
Drug Screening Retests
Schedule drug screens as part of periodic programs, separate from random testing.
Custom Rescreen Packages
Configure packages around industry, policy, and position-specific requirements.
Configuration note. You define which searches are re-run, how often, and for which positions. Not every role requires the same rescreen frequency or scope.
When Periodic Rescreening Is Required
Use the schedule that the role requires.
Regulatory or policy requirements
Healthcare, education, financial services, and childcare may require periodic renewals.
ExamplesAnnual childcare rechecks, biennial CDL MVRs, five-year finance renewalsCoverage gaps in monitoring
Full periodic searches fill the gap where a county or state does not provide continuous-monitoring feeds.
ExamplesAnnual rescreens for unmonitored countiesRole changes or promotions
A new risk profile can trigger a new check or rescreen.
ExamplesManagement promotion, vulnerable-population access, new licensed dutyOrganizational risk management
High-risk positions can be rescreened by policy even where regulation does not require it.
ExamplesFiduciary, executive, sensitive-data, and safety-sensitive rolesHow Periodic Rescreening Works
Set it once. Never track manually again.
Configure a schedule by position, then let the system track dates, initiate the recheck, and return results to the assigned compliance workflow.
Rescreen schedule is configured
Set whether the position requires periodic rescreening and how often.
Rescreen dates are tracked
Calculate the next due date from the last completed screen with no separate spreadsheet.
Rescreens are triggered automatically
When a due date arrives, initiate the workflow and create a task if additional consent or information is needed.
Searches are re-run
Execute the configured criminal, MVR, license, or other rescreen package as a full re-run.
Results are reviewed and documented
Flag new records or changes for the designated compliance contact and preserve the audit trail.
Rescreening vs. Continuous Monitoring
Complementary coverage, not competing products.
| Aspect | Periodic Rescreening | Continuous Monitoring |
|---|---|---|
| Timing | Scheduled full searches at defined intervals | Alerts when new records are detected in monitored databases |
| Coverage | Full original search scope across jurisdictions | Participating jurisdictions and databases only |
| Use case | Comprehensive periodic verification | Events between scheduled checks |
| Cost model | Per-search cost at each trigger | Subscription or per-employee monthly fee |
Best practice: use both. Monitoring provides ongoing surveillance in participating jurisdictions. Rescreening catches what monitoring missed by running full searches on a defined schedule.
Common Rescreen Schedules
Frequency depends on the role and policy.
Annual Rescreening
Common for high-risk or heavily regulated positions, with criminal rechecks, MVRs, or license verification every 12 months.
Common forChildcare, healthcare, education, financial services, driver rolesBiennial
Full background renewal every 24 months for moderate-risk positions or roles where monitoring supplements periodic checks.
Common forVulnerable-population access and some healthcare rolesEvery 3–5 Years
Lower-frequency rechecks for standard roles where monitoring is active or requirements are less stringent.
Common forGeneral workforce and non-safety-sensitive rolesCustom schedules supported. Annual, biennial, every 18 months, every 7 years, or another policy-defined cadence can be applied automatically by position.
