Choosing a verification partner: a practical checklist
Whether you are an insurer, lender or program administrator, the provider you choose will handle sensitive information about people you serve. These questions help separate careful partners from risky ones.
Process and evidence
Do they require a declared purpose and subject consent before work begins? Can they show a sample report with a full evidence chain? How do they handle cases where records conflict?
Security and privacy
Is two-factor authentication mandatory for every user? Is data separated by organization? What is their retention and deletion schedule, and can they confirm deletion? How do they respond to privacy and dispute requests?
Field work and pricing
Who performs field visits, how are they identified and trained, and what are the boundaries? Is pricing clear per report and per visit, with no surprises for volume? A partner who answers these openly is one you can rely on.
Consent-first, reproducible verification for your team.
