نبذة مختصرة : Professional integrity testing is recognized as a successful instrument which allows to unmask corruptive behaviour and to prevent corruption at an early stage. In some European countries, especially those with a high rate of corruption, such testing is employed as a separate and supplementary control procedure alongside with traditional forms of criminal law enforcement, such as crime intelligence or unclassified crime investigation. This creates risks for overlapping with or even misbalancing adjacent procedures and regulations, which affects the state of play and respect for human rights. The aim of the study was to conduct a comparative analysis of legal regulations, examining the countries that use special testing procedures for institutional and professional integrity assessment in various forms. The subject of the study was the social value of the integrity testing outcomes, estimating these alongside with potential risks of violating the European Convention on Human Rights. The study found that the integrity testing is less risky for individual rights in cases when it is evident and applied in the internal management of an organization with a view to ensuring staff quality and discipline. Externally delivered testing requires autonomous means and methods, which technically are similar to covert law enforcement operations. This causes certain risks of breach of related laws and regulations
