Matrix Security Watchdog continues to influence and steer the direction of the background screening industry. Our COO and founder of Matrix Security Watchdog, Susie Thomson, has been a leading voice on the Global Board of the PBSA (Professional Background Screening Association) for over five years. We are proud to be recognised as a BSCC-Accredited Screening Provider by the PBSA, one of just fourteen firms accredited in the UK so far.
