ClearForce

Positioned at the intersection of security and human capital management, ClearForce operates as a people risk analytics company, established in 2015. The firm was founded by James L. Jones, III, who is the CEO of Jones Group International, and is guided by a strategic board that includes his father, General James L. Jones, USMC (Ret.), a former National Security Advisor. The company's leadership is further strengthened by CEO Tom Miller, an entrepreneur with a deep background in analytics and risk management from his time at JP Morgan Chase and as CEO of ALI Solutions. This collective expertise in military, government, security, and financial risk management shapes the company's strategic direction.

ClearForce addresses a critical gap between pre-hire background checks and ongoing employee risk by offering a continuous evaluation and workforce assurance solution. The company serves a diverse client base that includes public and private sector organizations in financial services, healthcare, energy, transportation, and defense, including the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security. The business model revolves around its patented Resolve™ platform, a cloud-based software and data service that mitigates people-related risks such as insider threats, workplace safety issues, and cyber security vulnerabilities. Revenue is generated through this platform, which provides real-time, push-based alerts on employee misconduct or high-risk behavior. ClearForce has successfully raised $8.33 million in funding to support its growth.

The core of ClearForce's offering is the Resolve™ platform, which unifies data, analytics, machine learning, and workflow automation. It continually monitors and analyzes a wide array of data—including criminal, financial, social media, and internal incident reports—to identify behavioral risks. A key feature is its legally compliant framework, which adheres to FCRA and EEOC standards, ensuring employee privacy through measures like initial anonymity and consent-based monitoring. The platform automates alerts and provides a configurable workflow engine for stakeholders in security, legal, HR, and IT to investigate and resolve potential threats efficiently. This system moves beyond traditional, static background checks to provide a proactive, ongoing assessment of workforce risk. In May 2024, the company was awarded a significant U.S. patent for its technology for electronically monitoring employees to determine potential risk, solidifying its market position.
