Announcing ScreenCheck: Fast, Accurate, and Trusted Background Screening Built for the Entertainment Industry

Announcing ScreenCheck: Fast, Accurate, and Trusted Background Screening Built for the Entertainment Industry

February 1, 2025

Today marks a proud milestone for our team at Merrill Herzog. We are officially launching ScreenCheck, a new service created specifically to meet the unique screening needs of the entertainment industry.

For years, production companies, streamers, networks, and studios have told us the same thing: they need background checks that are fast, thorough, and tailored to the realities of film, television, and streaming productions. Traditional screening providers often fall short — either too slow for tight production timelines, not specialized enough for the creative world, or lacking the depth of expertise required to protect cast, crew, and the integrity of every project.

That’s why we built ScreenCheck.
ScreenCheck is a Merrill Herzog company dedicated to delivering comprehensive, high-quality background screening for talent, crew, and production partners. Every check is designed from the ground up for the entertainment sector, combining our decades of experience in security risk advisory, open-source intelligence (OSINT), and crisis response with the speed and compliance the industry demands.

What ScreenCheck DeliversIdentity Verification
- Criminal and Civil History Checks
- Motor Vehicle Records
- Social Media & Online Content Reviews (using proven PAI and OSINT techniques)
- Business Entity Screenings
- Network and Streamer-Approved Packages

We don’t just run reports. We deliver clear, actionable intelligence that production teams can trust — quickly, accurately, and in full regulatory compliance.

Whether you’re onboarding principal talent, hiring department heads, or vetting key vendors, ScreenCheck gives you the peace of mind that comes from knowing the right people are on set.

Why This Matters to Us
At Merrill Herzog, our mission has always been to protect people and help them make informed decisions in the face of evolving risks. ScreenCheck is a direct extension of that mission — bringing the same rigor we apply to high stakes corporate and family security work into the creative world where storytelling happens.

We know that great productions are built on trust, collaboration, and safety. ScreenCheck exists to strengthen that foundation.
