The background screening process is built with your rights in mind. Employment background checking by consumer reporting agencies like HireRight are regulated to promote the accuracy, fairness, and privacy of the information provided in the background check. 

The employment screening industry is federally regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), which imposes requirements on both screening providers and employers in order to protect your rights. 

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) enforces the FCRA with respect to employment screening.
