Uncovering Employment Fraud Risks

Identify Signs of Employment Fraud Risk

Our assessments analyze external data sources to reveal undisclosed and undetected criminal involvement, deepfakes, signs of undisclosed polywork, and other fraud indicators.

Whether in pre-employment screening or during active employment, we ensure that any red flags are promptly addressed.

Investigate Heightened Risk Profiles

When fraud indicators are uncovered, we conduct deeper investigations to understand the threat actor’s network, their tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), and their motives.

This includes assessing the potential for nation-state involvement or malign influence.

Prevent Pre-Employment Fraud

With monitoring, we actively hunt for new employment fraud indicators, providing you with peace of mind for both short- and long-term talent acquisition decisions.

Going Beyond Traditional Background Checks

Our Employment Shield solution provides in-depth analysis of potential types of employment fraud risks, including:

Confirm Identity

Ensure candidates and employees are who they claim to be.

Criminal History

Reveal undisclosed criminal records and ensure compliance.

Negative Social Media

Identify inappropriate or incriminating online behavior.

Lawsuits

Detect previous legal disputes that may pose a risk.

Polywork

Find signs of undisclosed multiple jobs that could conflict with their role.

Malign Influence

Uncover connections to foreign actors or influence campaigns.

A Nisos investigation identified multiple individuals involved in a nation-state-linked scheme [to illicitly collect proprietary information]. We uncovered threat actor information, including their US-based addresses, and worked with legal counsel and law enforcement to help a Fortune 500 client mitigate this threat and pursue legal action.
