FAQs
Do I need a BS7858 check completed on my applicant to obtain an SIA licence?
BS7858 vetting checks are not required in order for applicants to obtain SIA licences, although they do remain best practice. The BS7858 screening standard was published by the BSI, and the 2019 standard (which replaced the 2012 standard) is regulated by the Security Industry Authority (SIA).
Does VettingGateway enable Limited Screening?
Yes! The Milestones feature lets you configure your checks and conditions for Limited Screening and then triggers a task to notify you when a candidate has completed them.
