A MESSAGE FROM OUR PARTNERS AT ISN:

 

After you have clicked on the background check button you will choose your association from a drop-down menu and be brought securely into the background screening portal, Investigative Solutions e-Check (“ISeC”)

 

While the process is fairly straightforward, we have included some basic information and instructions to walk you through the step-by-step process.

  • It is important to note that your data is encrypted at all times - while at rest, in transit and in backups.

  • The process outlined below limits personal information captured and stored to only that which is necessary.

  • Your data and results will only be accessible to the ISN team and authorized users at each association/organization.

  • All data and processing is kept within Canada.

  • ISeC is only compatible with Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox.

    • Internet Explorer is not compatible.
