FOREWARN and Alliance Background Partner to Extend Leading Risk Mitigation and Screening Solutions into Volunteer Sector

BOCA RATON, Fla. and LARGO, Fla., May 19, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FOREWARN, LLC, a red violet company (NASDAQ: RDVT) and a leading identity verification and risk mitigation solutions provider, and Alliance Background, LLC (“Alliance”), a leading provider of employment and volunteer background screening services, today announced that they have entered into a strategic partnership to bring their identity verification and safety solutions to volunteer-driven organizations.

Under a multi-year relationship with Alliance, FOREWARN^® will provide the technology platform, data, analytics, and customer-facing applications for SecureView™, a risk mitigation solution for use in verifying identity information submitted by individuals for the purpose of determining whether to grant access to the organization’s premises.

Initially launched for the real estate industry, FOREWARN has seen rapid adoption by state MLSs, real estate associations, agencies, and individual agents, becoming the recognized leading safety solution for real estate professionals across the United States.

“While the inherent risks associated with real estate agents’ regular face-to-face interactions with unknown counterparties made the industry a logical entry point for FOREWARN, the solution was designed to be industry agnostic, with the goal of expanding to other markets with a similar risk profile,” stated James Reilly, President of FOREWARN parent company, red violet.  “By partnering with Alliance and leveraging their deep industry knowledge and experience, we believe the volunteer space is a perfect next-step market for the FOREWARN technology.”

With an expected release in June of 2020, SecureView, powered by FOREWARN, will be available both online and through a mobile application.  Subscribing organizations will be able to mitigate risk by using SecureView to instantly verify identity, search for criminal histories, and validate information provided by one-time volunteers and non-employee guests for the purpose of determining whether to grant the individual access to a facility. 

“We are extremely excited to launch SecureView as the cornerstone offering in our emerging Alliance Identity Solutions suite of services.  Partnering with FOREWARN and introducing their unique analytical capabilities will assist Alliance Identity Solutions in delivering significant value to volunteer and faith-based organizations,” stated Brittany C. Bollinger, Alliance’s Founder and President. “The addition of the FOREWARN advanced technology combined with Alliance’s expertise and commitment of service to volunteer and faith-based organizations will far surpass any solution currently available. We are extremely proud to introduce the next phase of evolution in an industry segment which has not seen much in the way of innovation. We are excited to work with the FOREWARN team of visionaries to deliver highly-differentiated solutions to our customers.”

“As a senior non-profit executive leader, I’ve been searching for a tool like SecureView for years,” stated Michael (Mike) Orum, Alliance’s Director of Non-Profit Partnerships. “This exciting new tool will provide volunteer and faith-based organizations a cost-effective option for monitoring visitors and minimizing risks. For years, the volunteer sector has been waiting for a platform that can easily be added to any visitor management program without expensive start up fees…. It has arrived! SecureView offers a budget friendly mobile App/Web based platform that empowers organizations a plug and play platform without needing to purchase expensive hardware or software. SecureView will be a game-changer for organizations looking at minimizing risks in daily visitors.”
