Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use CSI Watchdog as a platform to perform some due diligence on the individuals that we intend to hire and organizations that we intend to recruit to make sure that we do not find ourselves working with people considered to be the realist who would then impact the reputation of our organization negatively.

Pros

  • Individual vetting.
  • Multiple vetting.
  • Viewing screening reports.

Cons

  • The lack of template that can be used by novice users can be a huddle.
  • I find it's UI a little basic, therefore improving on it would make it more competitive.

Most Important Features

  • Individual vetting.
  • Multiple vetting.

Return on Investment

  • We have been able to trace and track many red lists within a short period of time.
  • Through CSI watchdog we are able to carry out batch vetting.

CSI WatchDOG for a painless and efficient vetting/screening process

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use CSI WatchDOG as a vetting tool to perform basic background checks on individuals/organizations/entities working with our project. As we are a US Government implementer, it is mandatory for us to ensure that none of the individuals we work with are on any sort of prohibited or red list. CSI WatchDOG gives us a one-stop solution for such checks. I mostly run the vetting for our international operations.

Pros

  • Vetting individuals
  • Choice to use multiple red lists
  • Option to run batch vetting

Cons

  • User interface can be upgraded
  • Batch vetting can be strengthened by showing a list of individuals vetted in the processed report
  • There should be an option for 'templates' to save time, where some details are pre-filled

Most Important Features

  • Individual vetting
  • Batch vetting
  • Viewing / printing screening reports

Return on Investment

  • Helped us reduce US government non-compliance to almost zero
  • Has made vetting a painless and quick task
  • Our international teams are also using this tool, so we have international compliance as well
