Digital Risk Assessment
The hooareyou Digital Risk Assessment is a report that checks individuals’ open and attributable online activity for key toxic behaviours.
Whereas a DBS check will only flag the presence of a criminal record, our analysis is far more detailed and relevant to today’s digital world, where problematic online behaviour can point to potential issues around safeguarding and the protection of vulnerable people.
Our analysis of online activity uses consented searches of only public available content to ensure that visible, highly damaging and harmful behaviour is identified – protecting your clients, your staff and your workplace. To put it simply: if an individual’s online behaviour displays attitudes and characteristics that would be inappropriate in the workplace, this report will show you that.
The hooareyoo Digital Risk Assessment Process
The hallmark of the assessment is our non-invasive process; being fully compliant, utilising only publicly available information and undertaken with the full support of the individual being analysed.

INPUT
Customer provides basic details of the individual(s) they wish to be assessed, via a secure client portal

CONSENT
That individual(s) is contacted by hooareyoo, where the process is explained and their consent is requested

DISCOVERY
The online identity of the consented individual is confirmed by our software and all applicable online channels are identified

ANALYSIS
Our algorithm recognises any postings that maybe infer toxic behaviour and flags potential issues against the context of where the content is found
An Ethical Approach
There is an increasing trend for employees to check the online content and activity for their current and prospective employees.
hooareyoo supports businesses to make these checks in an open, transparent and professional manner, being clear with candidates that these checks are taking place and integrating this into pre or post recruitment routines.
