Atlas Screening

Add-on · Ongoing monitoring

Continuous checks that keep your workforce safer.

Atlas continuous monitoring is powered by a dedicated monitoring engine that runs recurring searches across court, arrest, booking, national, and watchlist sources, and raises an alert as changes are detected, so a hire stays informed, not just checked once. Continuous monitoring is delivered through Atlas's data partner, InformData.

What's included

Sources that keep watching after the hire.

Each enrolled worker is monitored by the InformData monitoring engine on a recurring schedule across the sources below. Any potential change is verified before it ever reaches you as an alert.

Arrest & booking records

Recurring searches across arrest and booking data sources; new activity surfaces as an alert once it has been verified.

Court records across jurisdictions

Ongoing county-level court record monitoring tied to the individual's addresses and history.

National criminal database

Periodic pointer search for potential new records, verified through a county-level search before reporting.

International Check

Recurring check against domestic and international watchlist sources.

Sex offender registry

Recurring search of public sex-offender registries nationwide.

Verifier-reviewed alerts

Every change is verified at the source and reviewed by a trained analyst before an alert is raised; a full audit trail is kept for every alert.

The check process

How continuous checks run

  1. 01

    Enroll

    Consent captured, permissible purpose documented, and the employee added to monitoring.

  2. 02

    Source sweep

    The InformData monitoring engine searches court, arrest, booking, national, and watchlist sources on the recurring schedule. Cadence is agreed with your team at setup.

  3. 03

    Change verification

    Any change is verified at the source and reviewed by a trained analyst before anything is reported.

  4. 04

    Alert & act

    A reportable change generates an alert with the details and supporting documentation; adverse-action support is available if you proceed on it.

Continuous-checks questions.

How ongoing monitoring differs from a one-time check, what triggers an alert, and how it stays FCRA compliant.

Is this the same as a one-time background check?
No. A one-time check is a snapshot taken at hiring; continuous checks keep searching on a recurring schedule and alert you to changes after hire. Monitoring is run through Atlas's data partner, InformData, and Atlas still obtains the required consent and permissible purpose before monitoring begins.
What kinds of changes will I be alerted about?
New criminal records, arrests and bookings found in the recurring source sweep, watchlist additions, and sex-offender registration changes, reported after verification, with supporting documentation.
Are continuous checks FCRA compliant?
Yes. Monitoring requires the same consent and permissible-purpose foundations as any consumer report, disclosure is provided, and any adverse action based on an alert follows the standard two-step process: a pre-adverse notice with the report and Summary of Consumer Rights plus a waiting period, then a final adverse-action notice.
How is this priced?
Continuous checks are a subscription per monitored individual. Your team's volume and custom cadence are quoted by sales. Talk to us to design a program that fits.
Can we add or remove employees at any time?
Yes. Enrollment and removal are managed through your Atlas account, so you control precisely who is monitored and when.

FCRA compliance

How this check stays compliant.

Built to be defensible: upfront consent, adverse-action support, and open dispute rights.

  • Atlas is the reporting agency; you decide

    Atlas is a Consumer Reporting Agency that furnishes reports under the FCRA. Your organization makes the hiring decision.

  • Consent before every check

    Every check needs a lawful permissible purpose, a standalone disclosure, and the applicant's written authorization.

  • A supported, two-step adverse action

    Pre-adverse notice with the report and a summary of rights, a waiting period, then a final notice. Atlas supports each step.

  • Disputes are reinvestigated

    Applicants may dispute a report; Atlas reinvestigates and corrections reach your dashboard. Email compliance@atlasscreening.com.

  • Sourced with reasonable procedures

    Contents come from third-party and public records. Atlas uses reasonable procedures for accuracy but cannot guarantee every record is current.
