This inspection is mandated by the FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act). The main purpose is to verify the security of sensitive information accessed by the end user. Some of the items required during the on-site inspection process include confirmation that the business is located at the address provided and assuring that practices for securing and disposing of confidential information are present (paper shredder, lockable file, password protected computer). Businesses that operate from a residential address must have a workspace separate and secure from the living area (lockable door).
