How Alert Enterprises Streamlines Visitor Management Security with Instant, Integrated Criminal Data
April 25, 2025
Security isn’t just about keeping threats out; it’s about creating safe spaces where people can move freely and confidently. For organizations in highly regulated industries like healthcare, finance and technology, maintaining strict access control is non-negotiable.
Alert Enterprise is committed to protecting critical infrastructure and assets with cutting-edge security solutions. However, cultivating a seamless and secure visitor experience can present challenges, especially when managing large volumes of guests across multiple locations. Alert Enterprise sought a partner to enhance its Visitor Management solution with quick, reliable security checks—without adding friction to the check-in process.
Balancing Strong Security with Fluid Flexibility
Every industry has unique security and compliance requirements, with hospitals, financial institutions, life sciences and technology firms being among the most demanding. These customers need a highly secure Visitor Management solution capable of adapting to varying policies and regulations. Since traditional background screening and visitor vetting methods often result in delays, inefficiencies and security gaps, Alert Enterprise sought a scalable, automated solution to assess visitors quickly and accurately, ensuring only authorized individuals could access sensitive spaces.
A Solution That Checks Every Box
To enhance security without compromising efficiency, Alert Enterprise partnered with Checkr Trust, a leader in real-time criminal data and public record screenings. Through this collaboration, Alert Enterprise customers can instantly screen visitors against 2,400+ government sources, including criminal court records, security watchlists and sex offender registries. Checkr Trust’s API integrates directly into Alert Enterprise’s Visitor Management system, allowing organizations to assess potential risks in real time while maintaining a smooth and secure check-in experience.
With Checkr Trust, Alert Enterprise customers can meet strict security regulations while maintaining an efficient, welcoming environment.
“The increase in efficiency allows us to support customers with large visitor volumes while maintaining strict security controls. Visitors don’t need to navigate complex security processes—they just need a smooth, secure check-in experience working effortlessly in the background.”

The Result? Safer, More Efficient Visitor Management
The Alert Enterprise-Checkr Trust partnership delivers immediate security benefits:
- Proven risk mitigation: Alert Enterprise performed hundreds of thousands of visitor checks in 2024, successfully identifying and escalating thousands of records for deeper investigation.
- Lightning-fast results: Security screenings return in under 0.5 seconds, enabling organizations to effortlessly process high-visitor volumes.

As for real-world applications? Consider a children’s hospital welcoming thousands of visitors every month. For a facility like this, visitor management isn’t just about security: It’s also about providing families with a seamless experience during stressful times. With Alert Enterprise and Checkr Trust, the hospital can prevent unauthorized access – such as individuals with a history of crimes against minors – while ensuring approved visitors like parents and family members can see their loved ones without unnecessary delays.
“When security is done right, it’s invisible but essential. Our partnership with Checkr Trust ensures visitors are screened in real time without added friction, giving organizations peace of mind. This is especially critical for places like children’s hospitals, where protecting vulnerable patients and their families is non-negotiable.”
