What does a corporate investigator do?

A corporate investigator is a private detective who can help protect your business from fraudsters, bugs, cyber attacks, breaches of contract, and theft. We work alongside your business to uncover any wrongdoing from employees, management, or third parties, to provide you with peace of mind. 

Investigating misconduct yourself can be a costly and time-consuming process that often leads to dead ends. A professional corporate investigator, such as those available at Vilcol, can alleviate this burden and deliver the results you need without you having to get involved.

Who can benefit from corporate investigations?

Any business can benefit from hiring a corporate investigator if they suspect fraud, theft, or other wrongdoing. Below are just some examples of cases Vilcol assists with on a regular basis. 

Corporate investigations can be crucial during mergers and collaborations, which can pose significant risks to your business. A corporate investigator can minimise these risks by gathering necessary information on a business partner before a merger is complete.

Employees who make fraudulent long-term sickness claims can be detrimental to your business and can negatively impact your team's morale. Corporate investigators are able to assist businesses by thoroughly investigating these claims to verify their legitimacy.

Companies that have suffered a suspected data breach or theft can also benefit from corporate investigations. Using advanced technologies, Vilcol can uncover thieves and prevent anyone from benefiting from your stolen data. 

Any form of misconduct, whether by employees, management, or third parties, has the potential to significantly harm your organisation's reputation and its relationships with clients. Investigations and surveillance can uncover the root causes of the alleged misconduct, identify responsible parties, and implement corrective measures to prevent similar issues in the future.

What type of information can corporate investigators gather?

Vilcol works closely within the law and only gathers information pertinent to each investigation. A corporate investigator can legally gather:

• Employment history
• Anything posted on social media
• Photographic and video evidence
• Recovered deleted emails
• GPS surveillance
  

Hiring a corporate investigator for Restrive Covenants

Restrictive covenants, or non-compete clauses, go a long way to protect your business from organisations that may attempt to poach your talented employees and protect your company's secrets should an employee choose to leave. 

We handle investigations for restrictive covenants. Using covert surveillance and data gathering, our investigators can uncover cases where employees are in breach of their contracts, enabling you to make informed decisions on your next steps. 

Corporate Investigators can tackle financial abuse

All businesses are at risk of financial abuse, as they place their trust in multiple individuals along the financial chain. Theft, embezzlement, fraud, or money laundering can lead to long-term issues for your business, costing you money, time, and your hard-earned reputation. At Vilcol, we uncover financial abuse and provide you with recorded evidence of wrongdoing that can be used to take action with the authorities.
