​​​​​​The archdiocese and ParishSOFT, an independent software provider, developed the Safe Environment Platform (SEP) as a database to enter and confirm information from clergy, religious, employees, staff, and other volunteers. Prior to an assignment and continuing throughout an individual's involvement with the archdiocese, the archdiocesan Fingerprinti​ng Department​ will enter that individual's fingerprinting and training information into SEP and the person in charge or a designated staff member will update the information as necessary. When people who have been fingerprinted are no longer staff members or volunteers, or no longer have a ministerial or any other assignment in the archdiocese, the individual's SEP entry must be updated (see No Longer Interested Notification​).

See Fingerprinting Department to request access to SEP and SEP Online Tutorial for a quick overview of the SEP database.
