Our Story.

With so much at stake for enterprises who fail to properly evaluate potential employees, contractors, and suppliers, legacy screening services that rely on manual processes in a world awash in information were struggling to keep up.

When Vital4’s founders, Kristin Stafford and Amy Barbieri, recognized the lack of transparency, high prices and risks that these outdated manual processes carried for today’s businesses, they knew something needed to change.

Armed with decades of experience pioneering background screening, FCRA compliance, operations management, process architecture, and enterprise software development, Kristin and Amy founded Vital4 with one simple, yet powerful, aim: to tirelessly perfect due diligence through technology.
