Short answer
Choose DISA Global Solutions if you want screening as one part of a broader compliance program. Choose VICTIG if employment screening is what you are buying.
DISA Global Solutions is a compliance platform that spans the employee lifecycle: background checks, drug and alcohol testing, occupational health, DOT and transportation compliance, contractor management, and financial due diligence. It has been in the market since 1986 and holds PBSA accreditation.
VICTIG, founded in 2006, is an employment screening company. Its services cover background checks, drug testing, verifications, and reference checks, with US-based people who answer the phone live and reply to email in about 7 minutes. VICTIG is PBSA accredited too.
Both are well reviewed
Both of us sit above 4.6 out of 5 on G2, and on most dimensions the scores are close. One row goes to DISA. One goes clearly to us.
As of November 2026, we hold 4.7 out of 5 across 518 verified reviews on G2. DISA Global Solutions holds 4.6 across 107.
DISA leads on G2’s background check category score, 9.3 to our 9.0. That is the row most screening buyers look at first, and we would rather you hear it from us. On quality of support, partnership, meeting requirements, ease of setup and ease of admin, the two of us sit within two tenths of each other.
The one place reviewers clearly diverge is product direction: 9.2 for us, 8.4 for DISA. That gap is what the roadmap section below is about.

Who owns the roadmap
Product direction is the one score where reviewers separate us. Direction is a question about the future, and the answer usually has to do with who sets it.
Here is what is public, with no interpretation attached.
- DISA Global Solutions runs eight lines of business, from background checks and drug testing to occupational health, transportation compliance, entertainment compliance and financial due diligence.
- Audax Private Equity acquired DISA Global Solutions from Court Square Capital Partners in September 2022, making Audax its second private equity owner.
- DISA Global Solutions acquired Validata Group, based in Amsterdam, in February 2024. Some integration marketplaces still list DISA as “formerly Crimcheck.”
None of that is a criticism. Private equity owners fund real growth, and DISA is a substantial company. It does mean the screening roadmap is set alongside seven other service lines, which makes these fair questions to put to them directly.
- Where does background screening sit on DISA’s roadmap relative to drug testing, occupational health and transportation compliance?
- Is support for background screening staffed by screening specialists, or shared across service lines?
- Who is the point of contact when a record needs a human decision?
- What happens to the product at the next ownership change?
We have had the same answer to all four since 2006. Screening is the whole company here, the roadmap is set by the people who run it, and the person who picks up knows your account.
Where DISA fits
We would rather be straight with you than pretend DISA Global Solutions has no strengths. It has a lot of them.
- DISA Global Solutions scores 9.3 on G2’s background check category score, ahead of our 9.0. Its reviewers also rate it ahead of us on integrations and mobile access. Those scores are earned.
- DISA Global Solutions covers the whole employee lifecycle under one roof: background checks, drug and alcohol testing, occupational health, DOT and transportation compliance, contractor management, and financial due diligence.
- DISA Global Solutions has run drug testing for more than 30 years and offers DOT and transportation compliance as a dedicated service line. If you run safety-sensitive or DOT-regulated programs, that depth is the point.
- DISA Global Solutions has been in this market since 1986, serves more than 72,000 clients, and screens in more than 190 countries.
- DISA Global Solutions has held PBSA accreditation from the Background Screening Credentialing Council since April 2020.
If you want screening, drug testing, occupational health and transportation compliance from one vendor, DISA Global Solutions is a strong choice. If employment screening is what you are buying, keep reading.

Where we’re different
DISA’s strength is breadth. Ours is depth in one thing: employment screening.
- A person is accountable for your account. Call and a US-based person picks up. Email and you hear back in about 7 minutes. G2 reviewers score that support 9.7 out of 10.
- Tailored, not tiered. We build your screening package around what you actually hire for. Large enough to run enterprise-scale programs, small enough that no client’s attention gets rationed by account size.
- Humans review the records. More expensive to staff, and the reason our reports hold up when someone challenges them.
- Screening is the whole company. Every engineering hour, every compliance review, and every support shift here goes into screening. Reviewers score our product direction 9.2 out of 10.
Which fits you better?
The honest version, including when neither of us is the answer.
Choose VICTIG if
- Employment screening is what you are buying, and you want a company that does it full time
- You run 50 or more hires a year, whether that’s a mid-market team or an enterprise program
- You want a person who knows your account when a record needs a judgment call
- You need DOT drug tests as part of your screening, alongside non-DOT panels
- You want your screening package built around your roles
- You’re in staffing, healthcare, technology, hospitality, or nonprofit
Choose DISA Global Solutions if
- Your program is led by drug and alcohol testing, with screening alongside it
- You run a DOT-regulated or safety-sensitive workforce and want the whole compliance program with one vendor
- You want occupational health services from the same vendor as screening
- You also need contractor management or financial due diligence
Choose neither if
- You’re an individual checking on a person, not an employer screening a candidate
- You’re running a government RFP process
Common questions
Is VICTIG a good alternative to DISA Global Solutions?
For US employers whose main need is employment screening, yes. VICTIG covers the core screening services, including criminal records, employment and education verification, drug testing, and reference checks, with US-based support that answers the phone live and replies to email in about 7 minutes. Both are well reviewed: on G2, VICTIG is rated 4.7 out of 5 across 518 reviews and DISA Global Solutions 4.6 across 107. For employers who want drug testing, occupational health, and transportation compliance from the same vendor as screening, DISA’s breadth is the better fit.
Which is better for background checks, VICTIG or DISA?
On G2’s background check category score, DISA Global Solutions is ahead, 9.3 to VICTIG’s 9.0. VICTIG scores higher on quality of support, 9.7 to 9.5, on ease of use, 9.6 to 9.3, and on product direction, 9.2 to 8.4. G2 bases DISA’s category score on 63 reviewer responses and VICTIG’s on 376. Both are strong background check providers, and the better choice depends on whether screening is the whole engagement or one part of a wider compliance program.
Is DISA a drug testing company or a background check company?
Both. DISA Global Solutions describes itself as a provider of employee screening and compliance solutions. It offers more than 33 background products, has run drug testing for more than 30 years, and also provides occupational health, DOT and transportation compliance, contractor management, and financial due diligence. VICTIG is an employment screening company whose services include background checks, drug testing, verifications, and reference checks.
Which is faster, VICTIG or DISA?
VICTIG reports an average turnaround of 1.8 days across all checks. DISA Global Solutions describes its turnaround times as industry-leading but does not publish a figure, so a direct comparison isn’t available. Turnaround for both depends heavily on which searches are included and how quickly courts, schools, and past employers respond. Ask each provider for the measure that matters to your team.
Why is the product direction score so different?
G2 asks reviewers whether they are confident in a product’s direction. VICTIG scores 9.2 on that question and DISA Global Solutions scores 8.4, the widest gap between the two on any of G2’s headline scores. G2 does not publish why reviewers answer the way they do. What is public is that Audax Private Equity acquired DISA from Court Square Capital Partners in September 2022, and that DISA’s services span eight lines of business. Both are reasonable things to ask about directly during an evaluation.
Can VICTIG handle DOT drug testing?
Yes. VICTIG offers DOT drug tests alongside non-DOT panels, breath alcohol testing, and hair testing. Employers who want an entire DOT compliance program run by a single vendor, together with occupational health services, should look closely at DISA Global Solutions, which offers DOT and transportation compliance as a dedicated service line.
Is VICTIG or DISA better for enterprise employers?
Both serve large employers. 32.3% of DISA Global Solutions’ G2 reviewers work at companies with more than 1,000 employees, against 18.4% of VICTIG’s. Applied to each product’s total review count, that is about 95 enterprise reviewers for VICTIG and about 35 for DISA. Those counts are derived from G2’s published percentages and review totals, not published by G2 directly.
Switching is easy
The main reason people stay with a vendor that isn’t working is that changing feels like a project. Here’s the actual process when you switch to VICTIG.

2. A demo
You see the software with your use case in it.
3. Sign

How hard is it to switch from DISA Global Solutions to VICTIG?
