Use Case
Optimizing Risk Screening for Customs and Border Protection
Accelerated risk insights for border security and integrity preservation efforts in national infrastructure

Clearspeed helps border security and customs compliance authorities identify or validate suspected risk early, and accurately

Protecting U.S. borders is a national security priority and grows more complex each day, as border security and law enforcement agencies face new and evolving threats. Those on the front lines are tasked with preventing threats from terrorism, illegal immigration, organized crime, and other illicit activities, while also facilitating legitimate commerce.

Proven real-time risk intelligence

Whether it be at port of entry screening, visa application, recruiting, or continuous vetting, Clearspeed provides an assessment of individual risk quickly and with a very high degree of precision. Using simple yes/no questions, Clearspeed provides a new measure of human risk that enables better, faster decision making and remedies the tradeoff between speed and security.

Clearspeed provides support for:

Ports of entry screening
Clearspeed helps Customs and Border Protection agents at US Ports of Entry accelerate daily screenings, pinpointing risk indicators for security and fraud issues.
  • Passport laundering or illicit travel attempts
  • Falsified shipping documents
  • Trafficking of minors or illegal substances
Counterterrorism
Detecting and disrupting terrorist threats is difficult, especially with limited or unreliable intelligence. Clearspeed delivers primary risk insights linked directly to the individual.
  • Expedite target screening in office, or remote
  • Improve global passport screening efforts of non-US citizens
  • Validate informant source data
  • Reduce resource expenditure on low-risk
Recruiting & continuous vetting
Border security and law enforcement agencies need faster, effective recruiting that screens for flags like criminal backgrounds, cartel ties, or substance abuse. A clear assessment of candidate risk is vital at hiring and throughout an agent's career.
  • Clear low-risk applicants in minutes, and deter the high-risk
  • Shorten hiring cycle times
  • Accelerate routine controlled substance screening
  • Assess officer and agent mental wellness

Early identification of potential risk

Optimizes existing screening methods and data checks

The Clearspeed voice-based risk assessment process starts with individuals being presented with the questionnaire on any voice-enabled device. Clearspeed analyzes the individual’s vocal response to the desired question set, quickly identifying and scoring indicators associated with risk. These point-in-time, individualized results are then returned via API or available with the Clearspeed web app. This insight is used to inform next steps in the vetting or investigation process.
