SC Departmental and Company Records Checks ?

[adam0077]

Can someone please explain exactly what the Departmental and Company Records checks are when applying for SC.

Sorry if this has been asked before but I’m not able to find the answer on here or google etc.

I've seen a fair few SC submission forms and I don't recognise the question.

Security Check (SC) or (SC Cleared) is required for people who have substantial access to SECRET or occasional controlled access to TOP SECRET assets. The following security vetting stages comprise a full SC clearance:

* Baseline Personnel Security Standard (Which is normally undertaken as part of the recruiting process)
* Departmental / Company Records Check
* Security Questionnaire
* Criminal Record Check
* Credit Reference Check
* Security Service Check

What I'm interested in finding out is do they check with previous employers, also is there any cross-referencing with HMRC, I did see the HMRC mentioned in the main SC thread but I've been told its incorrect.
