Daon Signs Two Additional Contracts to 
Provide Critical Background Checking and 
Vetting Services - 21st September, 2009 
Reston, Virginia, – Daon, the award-winning global provider of identity assurance software and 
services, announced today that it has been awarded two major contracts by an large southern 
state to conduct criminal background checks on licensed childcare and adult care providers, as 
well as adoptive parents, foster parents and certain other recipients of state benefits. 
The undisclosed state had a requirement for more than 20,000 background checks annually 
with much of the work previously being done manually and taking more than two months to 
return background checks. Under the new contract, Daon will install necessary equipment, 
operate the electronic criminal history check system, and provide training and support. The 
result is a more efficient operation, faster background checks and a significant cost savings to 
the participating state. 
According to Tom Grissen, CEO of Daon, “The ability to protect citizens and assets through 
background checks and identity assurance is crucial to both federal and state governments, as 
well as employers. At Daon, we have created an infrastructure to support multiple programs and 
provide credentialing and identity management services. This platform provides a “one-stop-
shop” for background checks, uniqueness checks, credential creation, system management, 
and system reporting and payment processing. We welcome the opportunity to work with states 
to provide cost-effective and secure services for their citizens.”
