BS7858 Vetting, Built In — Not Bolted On

Screen every officer to BS7858:2019 without the spreadsheets.

Pulcify runs the full screening lifecycle — consent, 5-year declarations, reference chasing, Right to Work and DBS — then tracks rescreening dates and generates audit-ready packs for ACS assessments and client due diligence.

Everything BS7858 needs, in one workflow

From consent to approval, every step is tracked, time-stamped and audit-ready.

Guided screening cases

Each officer gets a structured BS7858 case: consent, employment/education history, declarations and references move through clear states from Not Started to Approved.

No more chasing gaps by email

Right to Work & DBS

Capture share-code Right to Work checks and connect DBS providers, with results and certificates stored against the officer's case.

Proof on file, not in inboxes

Automated reference chasing

Referees receive secure links to respond online; outstanding references are flagged so cases never stall silently.

Expiry & rescreening alerts

Track the 5-year rescreening cycle and licence expiries, with WhatsApp and email reminders before anything lapses.

Never deploy a lapsed officer

Audit-ready packs

BS7858 vetting FAQs

What is BS7858 vetting?

BS7858 is the British Standard for security screening of individuals employed in environments where the security of people, goods or property is a factor. It covers identity, Right to Work, employment and education history over five years, and references.

Does Pulcify handle the full BS7858:2019 process?

Yes. Pulcify runs consent, declarations, employment and education history, reference requests and chasing, Right to Work and DBS, review and approval, plus rescreening tracking — with a complete audit trail at every step.

How does Pulcify help with ACS assessments?

Pulcify generates an audit-ready screening pack per officer, time-stamped and complete, so you can evidence BS7858 compliance during ACS assessments and client due-diligence reviews in seconds.

Does it remind me about rescreening and licence expiry?

Yes. Pulcify tracks the 5-year BS7858 rescreening cycle and SIA licence expiries, sending WhatsApp and email reminders before anything lapses.

Can vetting connect to scheduling and payroll?

Yes. Because vetting, scheduling, check-in, incident reporting and payroll (Xero, QuickBooks, Zoho Books) live in one platform, an officer's screening status can gate deployment automatically.
