FCRA compliance
How this check stays compliant.
Built to be defensible: upfront consent, adverse-action support, and open dispute rights.
Atlas is the reporting agency; you decide
Atlas is a Consumer Reporting Agency that furnishes reports under the FCRA. Your organization makes the hiring decision.
Consent before every check
Every check needs a lawful permissible purpose, a standalone disclosure, and the applicant's written authorization.
A supported, two-step adverse action
Pre-adverse notice with the report and a summary of rights, a waiting period, then a final notice. Atlas supports each step.
Disputes are reinvestigated
Applicants may dispute a report; Atlas reinvestigates and corrections reach your dashboard. Email compliance@atlasscreening.com.
Sourced with reasonable procedures
Contents come from third-party and public records. Atlas uses reasonable procedures for accuracy but cannot guarantee every record is current.
