Background Checks That Go Beyond the Basics — Trust is Good, Verification is Better

When it comes to protecting your business, safeguarding your assets, or making major life decisions — trust matters. But real protection comes from verification.

At Global Defense Investigation LLC (GDI), we specialize in professional, discreet background checks that dig deeper than standard online searches. With over 30 years of investigative experience, we deliver fast, actionable insights you can count on.

Whether you need to vet a new hire, validate an applicant for a government contract, or gain peace of mind before a personal commitment — we uncover the details others miss so you know exactly who you’re dealing with.

When a Background Check Isn’t Just a Formality

Our clients range from corporations avoiding costly hiring mistakes… to government agencies verifying applicants for national security… to landlords screening tenants and attorneys building stronger cases.

Here’s when a professional investigator’s background check matters most:

Immigration & Visas

Ensure all student, work, and immigration benefits go only to qualified individuals. Attorneys rely on our reports to confirm identities, verify case validity, and comply with the latest legal requirements.

Corporate & Business Hiring

Protect your reputation and comply with FCRA and EEOC guidelines. We verify past employment, education, criminal records, and credit history — even in cases where documents could be forged.

Government Contracts & Sensitive Roles

From Homeland Security to procurement departments, agencies trust GDI to confirm identities, uncover red flags, and ensure applicants meet security and compliance standards.
