We follow a task based process in our HR system that ensures correct checks are carried out and crucial training delivered when onboarding new staff.
FundApps performs the following checks on our new employees:
Proof of the person's identity and right to work (e.g. passport)
Proof of work experience (e.g. résumé/CV and references)
Proof of academic qualifications (e.g. certificates)
FundApps staff that have infrastructure level access to customer portfolio data have the following additional checks performed by Experian:
Electronic identity check
Basic Criminal Record Check
Adverse financial check
Contractors are subject to reference checks and do not have access to production systems or customer data.
All FundApps employees have a confidentiality clause in their employment contract, which extends beyond the end of their term of employment.
