Know your I-9 exposure before ICE does.
On March 16, 2026, ICE stripped the cure period from 11 common I-9 errors. Your back-catalog is now dollarized risk. I9Drill scores it in 24 hours and runs the clock so it never grows.
Built by a 3x CHRO with a law degree. Delivered alongside your counsel. Metadata only to start — no SSNs, no document images.
I-9 Exposure Estimator
A 30-second, illustrative estimate using ICE's current per-form penalty range.
The rule that changed the math
For nearly 30 years, most I-9 mistakes were "technical" and curable: ICE had to give you 10 days to fix them before any fine. A quiet fact-sheet revision ended that.
Land, expand, stay clear
Start with a fixed-fee snapshot that carries zero legal-conclusion risk. Go deeper only under your counsel. Then keep the clock running.
Exposure Snapshot
Send I-9 metadata only. Our AI scores every record against the ~20 canonical defect patterns and the 11 newly-substantive categories, flags low-confidence records for human confirm, and returns a dollarized exposure range plus a 12-month reverification calendar. No legal opinions.
Full Audit, with counsel
Run under an engaged immigration attorney so privilege attaches. I9Drill is the analytical arm; a human signs off; we carry E&O. Full-file review, a substantive-error remediation plan and a corrected-form workflow you can defend.
Reverification Clock
Every work-authorization expiration on your live roster, tracked automatically. 90 / 60 / 30-day alerts routed with clear ownership, plus a monthly compliance-posture report. The clock you were running by hand, run for you.
The reverification clock
A missed reverification is a new substantive violation. Most teams track expirations in a spreadsheet reviewed once a month. Here is the same data as a clock that never forgets. (Sample roster, dates relative to today.)
Built for the workforces with the most I-9s
200–1,000-employee, high-turnover or distributed employers — staffing, hospitality, logistics, healthcare, food service, construction — and the PE operating partners who standardize compliance across a portfolio.
High-turnover employers
The most forms, the most document churn, the thinnest compliance bench. The biggest back-catalog and the fastest-growing clock.
Distributed / remote teams
Remote-verification box errors are among the newly-substantive categories. Distributed hiring multiplies them quietly.
PE portfolio companies
One operating-partner standard makes I9Drill the default across every portco. Land one audit, standardize the portfolio.
FAQ
Is this legal advice?
No. The Exposure Snapshot is analytical decision-support built on published penalty schedules and defect patterns, explicitly for review with your counsel. The full audit runs under an engaged attorney so privilege attaches and a licensed professional signs off.
Do you need our employees' SSNs or document images?
Not to start. The Snapshot runs on metadata only: employee ID, document type, reverification date and section-completeness flags. Deeper review happens inside your counsel's environment under a documented handling process.
We passed an ICE audit before. Aren't we fine?
That is the exact trap. Errors ICE previously logged as "technical" and let you keep are now substantive. A prior clean result under the old framework says nothing about your exposure under the March 2026 rules.
Why not just buy enterprise I-9 software?
Those platforms are priced and built for the Fortune 500 and do not audit your existing back-catalog. I9Drill is a services-first wedge that scores the pile you already have, then keeps the clock running for a fraction of an enterprise seat.
