Sometimes the enemy does not come from outside.
Threats to corporate security do not always come from outside: internal theft, technical sabotage, deliberate damage or tampering are increasingly common in companies of every sector and size. In many cases, those responsible are people within the organization: employees, associates, suppliers or former shareholders. Their motives may vary — resentment, financial interests, premeditated actions — but the impact is always serious.
Global Risk Intelligence’s investigative service dedicated to Theft, Sabotage and Internal Damage supports companies in reconstructing what happened, identifying those responsible and documenting the evidence. We operate quickly, discreetly and legally to provide management, the legal department or the competent authorities with clear material usable for internal action or criminal proceedings.
We use OCP techniques (Observation, Monitoring, Surveillance), analysis of video surveillance systems, discreet surveillance and forensic acquisition from company devices (e.g. PCs, smartphones, email, digital access records). Our expertise includes interventions in critical or confidential environments, guaranteeing legally valid results and maximum confidentiality.

Case Study: Theft, Sabotage and Internal Damage
A logistics company experienced systematic theft of high-value materials from its warehouse. Our investigation identified an employee who was an accomplice, through a combination of targeted surveillance and forensic acquisition of the company smartphone, where photographs of the stolen materials and messages with receivers of stolen goods were found. The individual was suspended and reported to the authorities.
