Security Cleared Staff at Pure Planet Recycling

When handling data of a sensitive or secret nature it is vital that staff have been vetted to ensure they are 100% reliable and trustworthy. Pure Planet Recycling handle IT storage devices containing sensitive data, so we insist on performing a Security Check (SC) via The Defence Vetting Agency (DVA) on our staff. This ensures clients can be confident their data is safe whilst being handled by our security cleared staff.

What is Security Clearance?

National Security Vetting is carried out so that people can work in environments that require national security clearance. Government organisations including the Ministry of Defence, Central Government, Defence Estates and the Armed Forces as well as Companies in the private sector require security cleared staff to undertake work. Security Clearance levels vary depending upon the sensitivity of the information that is accessed. The following checks are performed in order for Pure Planet Recycling staff to handle any type of data within our organisation:

  • Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS): A BPSS aims to provide a level of assurance as to the trustworthiness, integrity, and probable reliability of prospective employees. The check is carried out by screening identity documents such as passport, driving licence and references from individuals.
  • Counter Terrorist Check (CTC) is required for personnel whose work involves close proximity to public figures, gives access to information or material vulnerable to terrorist attack or involves unrestricted access to certain government or commercial establishments.
  • Security Check (SC) is for staff who have substantial access to SECRET, or occasional access to TOP SECRET assets and information. This level of clearance involves a check of UK criminal records and a credit check.
