CONNECTING PEOPLE, UNLOCKING POTENTIAL AND REWARDING TRUSTWORTHINESS.
How trustvault™ works
Applying for TrustVault™
Getting started with TrustVault™ begins with a simple online application. Individuals provide basic information and consent to participate in a thorough trust verification process. From there, members supply additional personal and professional documents that support their trustworthiness through things like references, education records, employment history, and other relevant background materials.
The Background Investigation
Once your application is submitted, a background investigation begins. This is not a basic background check. Instead, your information is reviewed and verified by licensed private investigators and often retired FBI Agents. They use professional tools and methods to create a full and accurate picture of who you are.
Levels of TrustVault™
Adjudication & Credentialing
Once your background investigation is complete, a formal review process called adjudication determines if you meet the criteria for certification. If approved, you are awarded a TrustVault™ Private Sector Clearance. This credential is yours. You control how and when it is used.
Sharing with TrustVault Access™
Through TrustVault Access™, members can securely share parts of their investigative file with third parties. This can include verified references, education confirmations, or other professional validations. You choose what to share and with whom, and all access is temporary and read-only.
Member Network & Benefits
As a TrustVault™ member, you join a national network of trusted individuals from all walks of life and industries. You gain access to professional opportunities, member events, and exclusive benefits offered by TrustVault Certified Businesses.
Why a TrustVault™ Credential Matters
TrustVault Certified Businesses
Businesses can also become TrustVault Certified by committing to high ethical standards and hiring practices. Certified companies can highlight their designation publicly and offer special discounts, rewards, or opportunities to TrustVault™ members. It is a way for businesses to attract trustworthy clients and staff, and to show the world they lead with integrity.
TrustVault™ is built on one powerful belief: Trust opens doors. Let us help you unlock yours.
