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 />
