Global Capabilities
Kroll’s global capabilities in performing accurate and legally compliant background checks are unmatched in the industry. We fully understand the various nuances and local practices necessary to obtain thorough information from data sources across the world. Kroll’s sensitivity to cultural protocols means primary sources feel comfortable in sharing background information with us, which gives us a clear advantage over other providers.
We don’t just know how to ask for information – we know all the key languages needed to get it. Kroll researchers can speak, read, and write in nearly 40 languages, including regional dialects in vast countries like India and China.
Our in-house experts rely on our network of more than 65 global offices to procure information on behalf of our clients. This network is grounded by major background screening hubs in seven countries, from South Africa to Canada. Moreover, Kroll doesn’t rely on third-party, foreign subcontractors to service our accounts – screening work is performed by Kroll staff via our offices wherever possible.
We’re also well-versed in country-specific regulations that govern access to information about individuals, and we adhere to all data protection and transfer legislation (including European data protection and U.S. Safe Harbor laws). Kroll’s search methods meet the highest ethical standards, meaning that we never bribe officials or bypass a country’s laws to obtain background information.
Many background screening companies which claim international capabilities are only able to meet the needs of organizations interested in screening prospective employees who have worked, lived, or studied outside the country in which the organization is based. In contrast, Kroll’s global capabilities are well-integrated to handle the enterprise-wide needs of organizations with locations around the world. We are truly a global provider of accurate, compliant, and ethical background information on individuals.
