security checks

Pre-entry safety procedures

Security checks are procedures to verify that people, items, or systems meet safety or authorization requirements.

At airports, security checks involve screening passengers and luggage for prohibited items.

Background checks verify someone's history before granting access or employment: He passed all the security checks for his government clearance.

In computing, security checks validate user credentials or detect vulnerabilities.
