At Insight, our team of specialists is always on top of the latest legislation and challenges faced by public servants. That's why when the NPCC announced mandatory Police National Database (PND) checks for all police officers and staff in England and Wales, we knew we had the right partner in Social Media Check to support our police clients.
Social Media Check provides a fully automated social media screening service delivering insights on an individual’s social media footprint in minutes. These are 100% security guaranteed, compliant to GDPR and meet ISO 27001 standards. Their service enables organisations to fulfil their legal and policy requirements, prevent brand reputational damage and avoid the penalties and cost of a bad hire.
Social Media Check’s software solution uses machine learning and algorithms to eliminate the need for manual searches and the possibility of unconscious bias. The tool identifies risks across seven categories: toxic language, extreme groups, violent images, hate speech, swearing and profanity, adult images, and negative sentiment. The solution can also be easily integrated into HR management systems.
With our extensive array of Framework agreements facilitating procurement for the public sector, our customers can purchase the most current and innovative products, services and solutions for their needs.
