Overview

Onboarding

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.

Background checks

Prior to employment HR performs background checks which includes, except where local restrictions exist:

• Professional references

• Education / academic credentials

• Right to work in country of employment

Additionally, for roles deemed high-risk, advanced screening is conducted prior to start date by an external background check provider covering the above, plus:

• Verification of personal identification

• Check of criminal and county records

• Assessment of financial history

• Employment history

Contractors are subject to reference checks.

Confidentiality

All FundApps employees have a confidentiality clause in their employment contract, which extends beyond the end of their term of employment. Any breach of the above obligations by the employee is regarded very seriously by FundApps Limited and could result in legal proceedings being taken against the offender.

Training

As part of the on-boarding process, new starters are trained in office and information security. These are then followed up by the ongoing training we do as an organisation.

Ongoing training

We ensure all employees are aware of the importance of maintaining the security of our systems and client data; use of encryption, transferring sensitive information externally whether via the internet or physical removable media, and general security awareness including virus scanners, phishing scams.

This training includes a regular monthly company-wide meeting to discuss both information security and business continuity issues. You can find more about our security awareness program here
