See emerging risk before
it becomes a crisis

ClearForce helps organizations identify changes involving employees, privileged users, contractors, and vendors that may affect continued trust and access.

Bring behavioral risk intelligence into your decisions, with relevant information, a structured review process, and the people responsible for acting on it.

See beyond
a point-in-time check

Time passes between scheduled reviews. ClearForce helps bring relevant workforce changes into view throughout that interval.

People’s circumstances can change long before the next scheduled review. ClearForce helps your teams understand relevant changes and make informed decisions about continued trust, access, and employee support.

Relevant changes can surface after the hiring check

A financial event, a court record, potential undisclosed employment, or a concern raised by a coworker may call for follow-up. Continuous vetting helps teams assess new information within a defined program.

KnowBe4 · 2024

A stolen identity passed the hiring checks

KnowBe4 reported hiring a North Korean worker using a stolen U.S. identity after interviews and background checks. Its security controls detected suspicious activity. The company reported no illegal access and no lost, compromised, or exfiltrated data.6

U.S. Department of Justice · 2025

A remote IT-worker scheme involved 309 U.S. businesses

The Chapman scheme involved 68 stolen identities and more than $17.1 million in proceeds. Remote workers used laptop farms and stolen identities to obtain work with U.S. businesses.5

These public incidents illustrate identity and workforce risks. They are not ClearForce customer outcomes or evidence that any single service would have prevented them.

Why speed matters

Time to containment drives the cost

More time to protect
what matters

Employees, remote workers, contractors, and vendors all operate under trusted access. ClearForce helps organizations protect that trust by bringing relevant changes in people's circumstances into view, giving teams more time to protect employees and the business.

Protect people & operations

Act before a concern grows

Circumstances can change between scheduled reviews. Earlier awareness gives your team more time to assess a concern, support an employee, and address potential harm to people or operations.

Support fair decisions

Make decisions with a fuller understanding

Your security tools help protect systems and networks. ClearForce adds relevant workforce context so your teams can make informed decisions about trust, access, and employee support.

Respond together

Prepare your teams for evolving threats

As AI makes impersonation and targeting more convincing, shared awareness helps Security, HR, and Legal assess concerns together and coordinate a response that protects employees and the organization.

Give every stage of the program clear oversight

Continuous workforce risk review needs defined authority, accountable owners, and a record of how decisions were made.

Each review helps improve the next.
  1. 01

    Policy

    Define the program

    Establish relevant risks, enrolled populations, review responsibilities, and the authority for collecting information.

  2. 02

    Signals

    Collect relevant information

    Use legally permissible information consistent with applicable requirements, company policies, and consent.

  3. 03

    Assessment

    Verify and assess the facts

    Confirm matches and consider the circumstances. A risk indicator does not by itself establish a threat or violation.

  4. 04

    Intervention

    Document the response

    Set thresholds for action, assign responsibility, and record the decision and any follow-up.

  5. 05

    Measurement

    Improve the program

    Review outcomes and effectiveness. Use findings to refine policies, information sources, and response procedures.

Program findings feed back into policy and review procedures.

AI-enabled threats still involve people and trusted access

More convincing impersonation and fabricated identities increase the importance of reviewing concerns with context.

ClearForce helps teams assess relevant employment information, identity indicators, financial events, and reported concerns. Reviewers determine what the information means and which response fits the circumstances.

Resolve™ supports workforce review. It does not detect deepfakes, monitor AI agents, or make automated access-control decisions.

Deepfake impersonation

~$25M

A deepfake video call deceived an employee

Arup lost approximately $25 million after an employee was deceived by a video call using deepfake recreations of colleagues.4

Stolen identities

68

Stolen identities used to obtain U.S. jobs

The Chapman IT-worker scheme used 68 stolen U.S. identities and involved 309 U.S. businesses, illustrating the risks of identity fraud in remote hiring.5

AI governance

18%

Few organizations have fully integrated AI governance

In the Ponemon/DTEX study, 18% of organizations had fully integrated AI governance into their insider risk programs.2

Public incidents and independent research illustrate the threat environment; they are not ClearForce customer outcomes. The Chapman case is an identity-fraud example, not a confirmed AI-enabled attack.

Of breaches analyzed involved the non-intentional human element.3
