ShieldHub and BKnown Partner to Close the Contractor Safety and Risk Gap
SAN MARCOS, Calif., Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ShieldHub Inc., an innovative leader in contractor and vendor background screening technology, today announced a strategic partnership with BKnown LLC, a pioneer in company-level risk assessment and compliance solutions. The collaboration creates a powerful, comprehensive screening framework designed to drastically reduce the risk gap inherent in traditional vendor/contractor management by pairing individual and business-level vetting technologies.
Historically, organizations have been forced to piece together separate solutions to verify both the entities they hire and the specific personnel sent to a home or job site. This fragmented approach leaves critical safety gaps that increase potential risk to people, property and brand. The new partnership addresses this vulnerability directly.
By pairing ShieldHub's individual contractor vetting ecosystem, which features identity validation, continuously monitored background checks, and automated network report sharing, with BKnown's robust company vetting protocols focused on validation of the business, insurance coverage and licensure, hiring enterprises can now achieve complete transparency and diminish the risk gap.
"Our mission has always been to build a trusted ecosystem between companies, the independent workforce and the occupants they interact with," said Shane Copeland, CEO of ShieldHub. "By aligning with BKnown, we are targeting solutions to reduce a dangerous security loop. For the first time, our clients can gain urgent, real-time risk awareness on both the individual service providers and the actual business entities employing them."
"Evaluating a company's corporate compliance means very little if the person walking through your facility door is unverified or a knowable risk" added Sean Ryan, of BKnown. "Partnering with ShieldHub lets us deliver a unified, multi-layered defense. We are proud to combine our company vetting technologies with ShieldHub's individual screening innovations to create a safer, more reliable workforce and supply chain."
The integrated capabilities of ShieldHub and BKnown are officially launching on September 23, 2026. The combined framework will offer enterprises an evergreen compliance and risk awareness system that continuously updates individual risk scores alongside corporate profiles, protecting organizations against developing risks in real time.
