To allow organizations to make different risk management decisions depending on the individual or entity, FACIS^® offers three levels of screening. The three levels vary in the depth of the sanction search provided.

Level 1 conducts a search of the sanction information as taken by the OIG, the GSA and other federal agencies. The information reported in this level meets the government's minimum requirements for sanction screening as set forth in the OIG's Compliance Program Guidance.

Level 2 combines the Level 1 search of the federal agencies with disciplinary action information from multiple agencies and one state of choice.

Level 3 is the most robust search option, allowing you to conduct a search of disciplinary actions taken by federal agencies as well as those taken by licensing and certification agencies in all 50 states. This is the most comprehensive search method available.

In addition to the three search levels, FACIS^® offers two methods by which to search: single search and batch search. The single search allows the user to screen an individual or entity on a case-by-case basis. The batch search is convenient if the user is required to conduct a large number of searches (greater than 100).
