About This Template

The SIA Staff Vetting Spreadsheet, specifically designed for compliance with the BS7858 standard, is a comprehensive tool for security firms and HR teams. This template helps to efficiently manage the vetting process for individuals in high-security roles. It primarily uses Excel as a platform, allowing for a structured and centralized approach to handling sensitive information required for thorough background checks. This spreadsheet consists of a single sheet named "sheet-01," containing 1000 rows of data. Each row includes essential columns such as Unique ID, ID Photo, Surname, First Name, and Date of Birth. These fields are crucial for identifying and recording personal information necessary for various compliance checks. The template facilitates the tracking of identity verification, employment and address history over the past 5-10 years, DBS criminal record checks, financial sanctions (like CCJs and insolvency), and SIA licence validation. Additionally, it manages right-to-work status, ensuring that all personnel meet the required legal standards. The outputs from using this template include verified lists of vetted staff, comprehensive reports on each individual's compliance status, and alerts for any missing or incomplete data. This ensures that all potential and current employees are screened thoroughly, thus mitigating risks associated with hiring in sensitive security positions. The template’s digital nature allows for easy updates and adjustments, ensuring that organizations stay current with evolving compliance regulations.
