security screening: While the term "security screening" is often used as a synonym of "security investigation," it should be used to designate the broader concept defined as "a process whereby information provided by a person or company is verified in order to determine whether that person or company meets the security requirements." At the Government of Canada, the first step of the security screening of a person or company is the "reliability check" and it is followed, when required only, by a "security investigation." 3, record 3, English, - security%20investigation

[Las] indagaciones de seguridad [están] reservadas generalmente a las funciones de confianza y a los puestos delicados desde el punto de vista de la seguridad del Estado […] A la luz de la información disponible parecería no obstante que, en ciertos países, estas indagaciones de seguridad puedan aplicarse indistintamente al conjunto de los puestos administrativos. Estas investigaciones sólo deberían ser autorizadas y emprendidas cuando lo justifica una exigencia profesional inherente a la naturaleza del puesto. 1, record 3, Spanish, - indagaci%C3%B3n%20de%20seguridad
