BPSS is more than four checks

BPSS Compliance & Personnel Security Governance for UK SMEs

Doing BPSS and being able to demonstrate that it is properly governed are not quite the same thing.

Peacock Assurance helps UK SMEs working with, or seeking to work with, UK Government understand BPSS requirements, assess their current arrangements and address identified gaps.

Why Peacock Assurance?

BPSS expertise without needing a BPSS department

Peacock Assurance was founded by Richard Peacock Assoc CIPD, following 28 years with BT and nearly two decades working in personnel security, security risk and governance.

His experience included ownership and development of BT’s Pre-Employment Checks policy, alongside responsibility for the end-to-end BPSS process and specialist personnel security support to HR and recruitment teams.

That experience now helps smaller organisations understand what BPSS requires, assess how well their arrangements are governed and identify what needs to improve.

Richard is an Associate Member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD).
