ShieldLink™ Company Sharing

ShieldLink is an enterprise feature designed to provide vendor companies an easy way to submit it their entire workforce as part of a secure supply chain program. If you wish to add ShieldLInk to your account contact  Enterprise Sales at (760) 474-5367, or email us at [email protected].

Introduction to ShieldLink™

There may be times when a customer requires you to provide a ShieldScore for all contractors, vendors and workers as part of supply chain security policy. Traditionally, you would fulfill this request by requiring all your emplloyees to ba background checked and provide those to your engaging partner as a condition of the contract.  Now with ShieldLInk you can share your entire company's ShieldScore data while protecting your company data and privacy.

• ShieldLink connections are continuously maintained and updated as your network changes.
• To protect your sensitive data, shieldLink clients only receive the name and ShieldScore for each networked user, individual contact information such as email and ShieldID are replaced with your company's contact information.
• You have complete control over your ShieldLInk connection and can revoke consent to your clients at any time, by disabling from the "Shared with Others Screen" 
• ShieldLink connections are dynamic and will continuously synchronize supply chain ShieldScore data as it's updated.

ShieldLink™ ID

Once ShieldLInk is activated on your account, you'll receive your ShieldLInk ID.  ShieldLInk ID works similar to ShieldID, but represents a dynamic link to your trusted network. Your ShieldLink ID will be listed under your ShieldScore from your Dashboard and Networking Screens.  All ShieldLInk IDs start with SL.
