ClearForce Secures Key Patent for Innovative Systems and Methods to Monitor Employee Risk in Real Time

New U.S. Patent Builds on Company's Foundational IP to Enhance Proactive Threat Detection and Privacy Protections for Organizations

Vienna, VA – November 13, 2025 – ClearForce, Inc. (www.clearforce.com), a leading people risk analytics firm, today announced the issuance of U.S. Patent No. 12,462,098 B2, titled "Systems and Methods for Electronically Monitoring Potential Risk." Issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office on November 4, 2025, the patent significantly expands ClearForce’s intellectual property portfolio and further strengthens the company’s position as the industry’s most advanced, privacy-led platform for ongoing workforce risk detection.

This patent protects the core innovations behind the ClearForce Resolve™ platform—specifically, the ability to ingest, fuse, analyze, and operationalize a broad array of internal and external behavioral risk signals in real time, while maintaining strict compliance with privacy, consent, and regulatory requirements.

The patented technology introduces groundbreaking capabilities for electronically monitoring employee-related risks by aggregating behavioral data from diverse sources, including criminal, financial, social media, employment, and internal records. At its core, the system protects employee privacy and establishes legally compliant governance to enable proactive identification of risk signals and employees who may be under pressure. This privacy-first approach initially anonymizes alerts and provides workflow from initial discovery to investigation through final decision, ensuring compliance with regulations like FCRA and EEOC.

Key innovative features include:

• Configurable, Anonymized Early Warning Alerts: Resolve^TM generates alerts without exposing legally protected information until risk criteria or internal policies are met—an essential safeguard for eliminating bias and ensuring privacy during early triage;

• Multi-Source Behavior Signal Fusion: The Resolve^TM platform ingests and correlates criminal, financial, legal, social, HR, electronic activity, and behavior-model data to determine potential risk;

• Real-Time Alerts, Case Workflow & Unified Dashboards: The patent covers ClearForce’s dynamic dashboards, case management workflows, and investigator interfaces, enabling organizations to operationalize risk insights across Security, HR, Insider Threat, and Compliance functions.

This new patent builds upon ClearForce's prior foundational innovation, U.S. Patent No. 11,961,029 B2, "Systems and Methods for Electronically Monitoring Employees to Identify Risk," issued on April 16, 2024. The earlier patent established core frameworks for behavior-based monitoring to pinpoint potential threats, laying the groundwork for scalable risk analytics. The Resolve™ platform, powered by these patents, unifies disparate data sources into intuitive visualizations and automated workflows, enabling faster threat resolution and stronger regulatory adherence.  This supports organizations staying ahead of the 76% surge in insider threats over the past three years and the $50 billion annual cost of workplace crime to U.S. businesses.

"ClearForce has made significant long-term investments to build the most advanced, compliant, and ethical continuous evaluation platform on the market. This patent further solidifies our competitive advantages that enable our customers to detect and mitigate human-based risks long before they cause harm," said Tom Miller, CEO of ClearForce. "As the threat landscape intensifies—from insider risks to workplace violence and nation-state infiltration—the ability to proactively identify behavioral anomalies is mission-critical. This patent reinforces our strategic position and provides long-term protection for the innovations powering the Resolve™ platform."

ClearForce IP expansion highlights its leadership in the $15 billion people risk management market. Traditional background checks and periodic rescreens are no longer enough to protect people, assets, and brand reputation. ClearForce’s newly awarded patent strengthens the protection and value customers receive from the Resolve™ platform, positioning ClearForce as a strategic partner for enterprises in finance, government, and critical infrastructure.

ClearForce continues to deliver world class technology and innovate at the intersection of data analytics, and human-centered security, with ongoing R&D focused on expanding multi-source integrations, nation-state risk and machine learning models for even greater precision.
