DISA Global Solutions

What DISA Global Solutions does

DISA Global Solutions is a privately held, Houston-based workforce compliance and screening company founded in 1986 that consolidates background screening, drug and alcohol testing, occupational health, DOT/transportation compliance, contractor consortium management, entertainment compliance, and financial due diligence into a single-source 'One System, One Process, One DISA' offering. The company's technology stack centers on three principal platforms — DISAWorks (online ordering and tracking with authentication-enabled workflows), DISA360 (enterprise compliance management with consolidated reporting and analytics for consortium members), and DISAScreen / Clairiti (pre- and post-hire screening management) — supported by integrations with 60+ ATS/HRIS systems including Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle Taleo, iCIMS, Greenhouse, Bullhorn, and BambooHR. The firm's differentiator is the Contractor Consortium (founded 1992), a shared compliance framework spanning 420+ participating facilities that uses reciprocal recognition and red/green status indicators to enable contractors to move across sites without redundant testing. DISA serves more than 55,000 clients across healthcare, transportation, industrial, retail, hospitality, entertainment, financial services, and higher education, including 30%+ of Fortune 500 companies, and delivers more than 20 million screening and compliance results annually. The business operates through enterprise field sales, channel partnerships (ATS/HRIS integrations, association/cooperative purchasing groups, and consortium membership), and self-serve online portals, with revenue generated via per-transaction, subscription, and bundled program pricing. Operational scale spans 35 locations across North America and Europe, 1,200 employees (75%+ remote or hybrid), PBSA accreditation, and FCRA-compliant processes; the company has pursued an active acquisition strategy (Global HR Research, Validata, CastleBranch, American DataBank) and strategic partnerships (Independently.ai, Avetta) to extend its product surface and geographic reach.
