- General European Vendor Assessment Guidelines
- What is vendor vetting? In a nutshell, vendor vetting answers the question, "Should we be doing business with this organization or not?" This document provides practical guidance for vendor assessment practices to background screening companies, to and from all PBSA members within Europe. It is intentionally broadly written with the understanding that practices and regulations may vary by country and regions. Following these practices, when possible, may instill confidence and better understanding in the vendor vetting process, and offer consistency and overall improved processes.
