Becoming a CHECK Provider

Why should I become a CHECK Service Provider?

CESG has been working hard to build on the good reputation CHECK already has with government departments and the private sector by actively promoting the CHECK Scheme on a number of fronts. In addition continue to promote the Scheme at many high-profile conferences, and through direct contact with a wide range of government departments.

We set high standards for CHECK service providers, against which all new applicants are measured. Government departments employing CHECK Service Providers can therefore be assured that they are selecting a highly qualified and suitably experienced team and consequently will receive a high quality service. The CHECK Service Providers, meanwhile, can be confident that they are part of a professional service, which can and will be held in high regard in government and the private sector.

  • Promotion of the CHECK Service to a wide customer base;
