KRESS Compliance Information

The HR services landscape is constantly changing, with new employment laws and regulations reshaping hiring and screening practices. At KRESS, we simplify this complexity. Our role is to keep your team informed, compliant, and confident so that you can focus on hiring.

We also believe data should be handled with integrity. Every report we deliver is managed responsibly and securely, ensuring the information you rely on is both accurate and ethically used.

As a federally regulated consumer reporting agency, KRESS operates in full compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), enforced by the FTC. This law ensures accuracy, fairness, and privacy in background checks, protecting both employers and candidates. Additionally, we are insured, licensed, and designated as an agent for the Social Security Administration and Immigration and Naturalization Services.

As a preferred vendor for ExxonMobil, we understand and meet the company’s strict requirements for background checks and drug and alcohol screenings. That same expertise is applied to ensure your organization can meet demanding industry standards without added burden.

We operate in compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), which prohibits employers from discriminating against people with disabilities who are qualified to perform essential job functions.

We adhere to the HIPAA Privacy Rule, which protects individuals’ private and protected health information from unauthorized disclosure or marketing throughout the screening process. Employers can trust that personal data is never misused, disclosed, or marketed.

When screening globally, KRESS adheres to EU data privacy laws and international information exchange protocols, ensuring that applicant data is handled in accordance with local requirements in every country searched.

KRESS is a member and observes the regulations published by the Substance Abuse Program Administrators Association (SAPAA) and the Drug and Alcohol Testing Industry Association (DATIA). This ensures your program is both compliant and defensible.

KRESS is fully licensed by the Texas Department of Public Safety, Private Security Bureau (License # A06712), demonstrating our commitment to secure and lawful investigative practices.

Our reports are structured to meet the requirements of key agencies, including the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), National Compliance Management Service (NCMS), and the Department of Transportation (DOT). Whatever your industry, we can tailor compliance solutions to fit your regulatory environment.  Contact us for specific compliance needs in your industry.
