at the World Trade Center and the<br />
NY-metro region’s critical transportation<br />
infrastructure, the SWAC<br />
program has proven effective in<br />
helping to secure these highly sensitive<br />
facilities. Since its inception<br />
in 2007, SWAC has identified and<br />
prevented thousands of undesirable<br />
individuals from using temporary<br />
employment to gain unrestricted<br />
site access to the region’s air, rail and<br />
bus terminals and infrastructure.<br />
“IDentrix solves a real problem<br />
in the employment screening<br />
industry,” said Krantz. “The biggest<br />
vulnerability of RTTG’s trusted<br />
communities is the time period between<br />
individuals’ recurring background<br />
investigations. And, our<br />
biggest challenge in starting new<br />
communities is the high-cost associated<br />
with adequate screening.<br />
IDentrix delivers secure, reliable,<br />
and accurate intelligence that offers<br />
a potential savings of 40 percent over<br />
traditional methods, and provides<br />
near real-time visibility into critical<br />
intelligence. With IDentrix, our<br />
trusted communities will be able to<br />
rely upon public records alerts that<br />
warrant further investigation, rather<br />
than blindly and continuously<br />
perform background screening on<br />
large populations.”<br />
IDentrix can be tailored to<br />
meet the unique security and compliance<br />
challenges of any organization,<br />
and comes equipped with<br />
pre-packaged customized options<br />
for enterprises within the financial<br />
services, healthcare, transportation<br />
and critical infrastructure sectors.<br />
For instance, a bank may view employee<br />
bankruptcy as a higher risk<br />
factor than a DUI charge, whereas<br />
a taxi company would prioritize<br />
those variables differently. IDentrix<br />
also automatically creates a legallydefensible<br />
audit trail of background<br />
and behavior data to help companies<br />
cost-effectively comply with all<br />
relevant security and privacy mandates.<br />
Starting later this year, organizations<br />
will also be able to assign<br />
employees a “risk ID score,” similar<br />
51<br />
to a FICO credit score, that analyzes<br />
a variety of factors to provide<br />
an easy-to-understand, 360-degree<br />
view of an employee’s risk level.<br />
“We at Trak-1 understand<br />
people pose the greatest risk to organizations,”<br />
said Nancy Lynn Roberts,<br />
Esq., CEO of the nationally<br />
accredited background screening<br />
firm, Trak-1. “<strong>Security</strong> measures<br />
like background screening simply<br />
cannot stop at on-boarding. To protect<br />
your assets and critical information,<br />
and prevent possible threats,<br />
you need to understand what your<br />
people are doing - or not doing. This<br />
is why we have invested in collaborating<br />
with IDentrix to offer a quality<br />
continuous monitoring solution<br />
to our clients all across the country.“<br />
The solution’s cloud-based<br />
delivery model is easy-to-deploy,<br />
does not require IT resources from<br />
customers, and offers subscriptionbased<br />
pricing that starts at $2 or under<br />
depending on the volume, per<br />
identity per month. It allows organizations<br />
to not only monitor their<br />
own employees’ risk after they are<br />
hired, but also that of third-party<br />
contractors, suppliers, and partners.<br />
IDentrix is currently managing<br />
nearly 50,000 identities across<br />
the health care, transportation and<br />
financial services sectors.<br />
