Not Another Database Recheck
-
Proprietary Data, Not Aggregated DatabasesTraditional monitoring relies on periodic queries against aggregated commercial databases with varying data quality. ClearStar’s Continuous Monitoring is powered by Equifax’s direct jail and Department of Corrections interfaces, providing access to data sources not found in any other commercial database. - Earlier Signals, Higher ConfidenceMulti-identifier matching, using name, date of birth, and SSN when available, reduces false positives and delivers higher-confidence alerts. Arrest-level data provides earlier signals than traditional name-based database monitoring, giving your organization more time to respond.
- Forward-Looking, Not BackwardPeriodic rescreening only catches what existed at the time of the recheck. Continuous Monitoring detects new criminal justice system events as they occur, throughout the full duration of employment. Instead of asking “What did we miss at hire?” you are now asking, “What changed during employment?”
