Why Choose CI?

  • We understand that in business, trust is paramount. Our comprehensive background investigations go beyond the baseline procedures. We proactively identify potential risks, allowing you to make informed decisions and mitigate issues before they become problems.

    We specialize in crafting customized packages, and adhere to the highest industry standards. Additionally, we understand the sensitivity of the information we handle, and our protocols guarantee absolute confidentiality.

    Our team of experts is here to support you every step of the way. Whether you have questions about the investigation process, need assistance interpreting results, or require guidance on compliance matters.

  • Although all background screening entities located in New York State are required to be licensed private investigative agencies, most do not handle background investigations with an investigative approach.

    CI is staffed with trained investigators that treat every background screening as a background investigation. We look at the whole picture, compare the results from each inquiry on a subject, and make sure the completed information relayed to you is both reliable and easily understood.

  • While we do use AI and automatic processes to gather data, we also go beyond its capabilities.

    Human intervention assures the quality our clients have come to appreciate with us. We review and compare the information obtained from each specific inquiry with all other result information. As trained investigators, we can quickly determine inconsistencies and areas of concern.

    This process enables us to identify patterns, inconsistencies, and potential areas of concern that may not be apparent through automated processes alone. An extra layer of protection can help save money, and avoid any discrimination issues caused by an algorithm.

  • As a Consumer Reporting Agency, we adhere to the highest industry standards for handling sensitive information. Our commitment to privacy and data protection is unwavering, ensuring that your trust is well-placed in our hands.

    Our Private Investigator License, however, allows us to go beyond the typical scope of a Consumer Reporting Agency. This empowers us to conduct additional inquiries and investigations that others may not have access to due to data protection regulations or security clearances.

    The combination of the two licenses allows us to offer tailored solutions to meet your unique needs.

    We believe in straightforward and transparent pricing. There are no "junk fees" with us – no total minimums, additional end-user charges, or dormant fees.

    Our goal is to empower you with the information you need without compromising on flexibility or budgetary constraints.

  • At CI, we understand that safeguarding your brand's integrity is an ongoing commitment. While many companies focus on an individual's history during the hiring process, we go above and beyond by offering robust solutions for continuous monitoring.

    Whether it's monitoring criminal records, financial stability, or other critical factors, our tailored approach allows you to choose the level that aligns with your brand's safety requirements. Your commitment to your employees' safety doesn't end with the hiring process, and neither does ours. Our Vigilant monitoring solutions provide you with the peace of mind needed to operate your business.
