Security is a field where trust is paramount. Clients rely on security companies to protect their people, property, and information. But how can you be sure that the personnel guarding your site are reliable and trustworthy? At Secure Security & Investigations (Pvt) Ltd (SSI), we believe it all starts with thorough background checks. By rigorously screening our security personnel, we ensure that only the most reliable individuals are deployed to protect our clients.
In this post, we’ll explain why background checks are essential in the security industry and how our process at SSI guarantees dependable security officers.
The Importance of Background Checks in Security Services
Unlike many other fields, the stakes in security are incredibly high. Security officers may be placed in situations where they handle sensitive information, protect valuable assets, and, in some cases, deal with high risk scenarios. That’s why it’s essential that each officer is trustworthy, responsible, and has a clean record. Background checks help us verify these qualities before deployment.
Here are some of the core reasons why background checks matter:
- Ensuring Client Safety
- Security officers have a unique level of access to client sites and assets. A thorough background check helps us ensure that the personnel we send have the highest standards of integrity, helping to reduce any risks to client safety.

SSI’s Background Check Process
At SSI, our background checks go beyond a standard review. Here’s how we thoroughly vet each potential security officer:
- Police and Criminal Record Checks
- To ensure no criminal background, we conduct police checks on every candidate. This verification is especially crucial for officers working at high-security locations where any risk could have serious consequences.

- Verification of Work History
- We contact former employers to confirm the candidate’s job history, reliability, and conduct. A strong track record with previous employers is often a good indicator of a candidate’s reliability and professionalism in their role.

- Community and Grama Niladhari References
- In Sri Lanka, we take extra steps by contacting local authorities like the Grama Niladhari (village officer) to confirm the candidate’s residence and reputation in the community. This helps us ensure the candidate is both respected and trustworthy within their local environment.
