IP and data theft

Research into intellectual property theft shows that almost 70% of employees have taken key information from their place of work. Frequently stolen data include e-mail address books, customer databases as well as proposals and presentations.

Employees often have far more access to information than is required and as a result, there is a temptation, particularly among outgoing employees, to take information with them. Data is found to be commonly extracted via the sending of emails.

Most companies now store most of their information electronically and as such, there is an urgent need to have the capability and expertise to identify when IP or data theft has occurred.

Our experts utilize forensic tools and techniques to help organizations identify if IP and data theft have occurred, the source of any theft and the location to which data has been transferred.

Data misuse and fraud investigation

We use the latest forensic tools and techniques to maximize the effectiveness and speed of a sound investigation.

We quickly and thoroughly uncover vital pieces of evidence that was thought to be destroyed. Investigations of this nature are always sensitive and we understand the need for discretion and absolute confidentiality.

Detailed reports of our findings, accompanied by witness statements and expert testimony in court, are provided according to your requirements.

Data acquisitions

Successful data acquisition allows for detailed forensic analysis to be conducted on the extracted data if required.

Mobile device analysis

Mobile phone technology progresses rapidly, which leads to mobile communication devices being constantly updated with new software and manufacturers to create new models at a swift pace.
