Attention Company Security Officers (CSO)

Supporting Canada’s Defence Industrial Base Through Trusted Personnel Verification Services

CSI Background Screening is a Canadian-owned small business that helps defence contractors streamline the employee verification activities required as part of the Government of Canada’s personnel security screening process.
