Kroll Benefits
Local, Cross-Disciplinary Investigative Expertise
Kroll’s insider threat investigators combine world-class computer forensic expertise with traditional investigative methodology, including on-site interviews and surveillance, to retrace the behaviour of people who may have had access to protected or proprietary data.
Covert and Confidential Investigations
Insider investigations are often sensitive. Kroll’s investigators bring many years’ experience in conducting covert computer forensic investigations on digital devices, ensuring innocent suspects do not feel targeted and guilty suspects have no opportunity to cover their tracks.
Expert Testimony and Reporting
Where necessary, our investigators can provide additional support and reporting as expert witnesses in legal proceedings. Many of our team bring considerable expert testimony experience in presenting findings to judges, juries and arbitrators, with many having served as special masters at the court’s appointment.
Common Insider Threat Investigations
Data Leaks and Email Tracing
Misdirected emails, misconfigured databases, credential leaks and more can lead to the disclosure or exfiltration of your organisation’s most sensitive data—including that of your employees and customers. Kroll’s digital forensics investigators can follow the digital trails to determine the scope and source of the leak, including those responsible, both negligent and malicious.
Fraud, Corruption and Bribery Investigations
Many jurisdictions strictly legislate against bribery and corruption, including actions taken to improperly influence the actions of another party or the abuse of public or private office for personal gain. An allegation or suspicion of such activity must be investigated independently. Kroll’s insider threat investigators have experience handling many such investigations, delivering comprehensive, unbiased and confidential reports.
Intellectual Property Theft Investigations
Whether pursuing targeted attempts at corporate and industrial espionage or data exfiltration by a departing employee, malicious actors often steal proprietary information for their own use or sale to competitors. Our experts gather evidence from employee devices, servers and cloud storage to identify what intellectual property may have been stolen, how and by whom.
Insider Trading Investigations
Issues regarding insider trading can be difficult to detect, and regulated industries require independent investigations. Our digital forensics experts investigate digital communications and devices to verify the existence of such activity and identify guilty
