Daon Identity Services Streamline US Background Checks

Daon, a provider of identity assurance software and services announced its identity services offering is being expanded to thousands of locations throughout the U.S., bringing comprehensive background checking, credentialing and identity management services to state agencies and local businesses.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has determined that Daon identity services comply with both state and Federal Bureau of Investigation regulations and standards. This is an important step in the process, allowing the service to begin providing these critical services.

“Florida has more than 750,000 residents who are required to obtain background checks in many different industries, including education, health and human services, real estate and construction, elderly care, financial services, insurance and youth sports,” said Tom Grissen, Daon's CEO. “These individuals will now have greater access to a more convenient, comfortable setting in which to submit their fingerprints and biographic data in order to obtain proper credentials.”

The offering provides a cost-effective solution for individuals who are required to obtain a criminal history background check, including those who work with vulnerable populations or have access to valuable corporate assets. The solution allows these individuals to submit fingerprints for verification in the most expedient manner possible. In addition to the extensive collection network, Daon also offers businesses and agencies the ability to utilize a fully secure hosted identity services data center that is FISMA-certified and takes advantage of the latest cloud computing technology.
