What if our company already does background investigations (BI)?  Am I exempt from your BI’s?  How does the BI process work in general?

  • If your company does its own BI’s and they meet our requirements your company can provide an attestation letter (please work with your CSM). 
  • If your company requirements do not meet these guidelines, please have an administrator on your account submit a Badge Request ticket detailing in the special notes that the user needs a Background Investigation. The badge request ticket initiates the BI process.
  • Please review our FAQs for the BI process in the ServiceNow knowledge base.

Once the badge request ticket is entered how do I check the status of my request?

  • Once the ticket is entered the requestor and the individual needing the BI will be copied on any notes updated in the ticket.  
  • If you need an update or one has not been recently put in the ticket reach out to your CSM for a status.   

How long does my BI last?  If my badge stops working does that mean my BI is expired?

  • In all locations except VA and WPA, your BI is good for 5 years.  VA and WPA are 3 year BIs.
  • If your badge stops working please open a ticket for the access to be checked.  There could be an issue with the badge if it is before the three-year timeframe is up.

Frequently asked questions about insight

Who can access my documents?

Iron Mountain’s Implementation team meets with your organization to learn how your organization wishes to handle documents: by department, floor, individual, etc.

Iron Mountain then sets up your users, user groups and data security rules to ensure that the proper people have access to your information. Post implementation, your administrator users will be able to update your user groups and maintain users.

How does Iron Mountain ensure that only the right users access information?

Data security is paramount to any organization and Iron Mountain makes this easy with metadata based security capabilities. Metadata security rules can be set up by your administrator and assigned to users either at the individual or user group level. This ensures that users are only accessing information they should.

What happens to our physical documents that are digitized by Iron Mountain?

You are able to select from several disposition options for your physical documents:

  • Your physical documents can be returned to you
  • Your physical documents can be stored in an Iron Mountain record center
  • Your physical can be securely shredded

Your data is stored in the cloud for a length of time that is based on your contract and your organization’s retention requirements. The InSight Customer Care team is your main point of contact for disaster recovery assistance.

How onsite media destruction works

1. Generate a service order
2. An Iron Mountain driver will arrive at your company site
3. The service information of each scanned asset (if itemized) is captured in the Iron Mountain's driver's handheld device
4. The assets are then shredded onsite in Iron Mountain's secure Mobile Shredding Unit
5. At the end of the service stop, electronic signatures are requested to acknowledge service completion
6. The asset information will be transmitted to Iron Mountain's database in real time
7. You will receive a certificate of destruction
