Counter Espionage investigators Scotland UK

Businesses operate successfully in a competitive market by having something unique. Whether it’s a product idea, process or market research data, the information you use to set your business above the rest is valuable to your competitors. All companies have their own trade secrets: the unique ideas that put bread on the table. For every secret sauce, however, there are competitors trying to recreate your recipe or even steal it from you. All businesses gather intelligence about their competitors, but stealing intellectual property crosses the boundary from rivalry to criminality.

Many people think of corporate espionage, or industrial espionage, as a dangerous drama that happens only at the highest levels of major companies. This misconception often leaves smaller businesses unprotected, assuming their secrets aren’t valuable enough to steal. Most often, an industrial spy is hired by a competitor to gain access to your sensitive information. Spies use covert methods of attack such as computer hacking or going undercover, making them hard to spot.

As a company owner, it can be difficult to know how to investigate employees safely and without damaging a valued working relationship. If your employee is showing signs that they might be trading corporate secrets, it is important to be able to investigate discreetly, without making it common knowledge and alerting the suspect. Dion International is equipped with specialised knowledge to support a proportional response to any suspected corporate or industrial espionage.

As Scotland’s experts in covert surveillance, allowing us to track suspected employees to ascertain their movements. By using an accredited company, specialising in corporate investigations, you get high-quality evidence without personal risk. Corporate investigation services may also include bug sweeping. This is a method of searching for hidden monitoring devices such as microphones and cameras, that record confidential information or trade secrets.

It’s important to ensure that you protect your business and that all employees maintain the highest standards of security. Make clear that it is a collective responsibility to protect the company from outside aggressors, and that everyone needs to be vigilant. Set up basic protocols for storing laptops, memory sticks and hard drives and ensure employees do not leave these unattended. Install security checkpoints at various points throughout the premises and ask all guests to sign in at reception. At Dion international, we offer our clients access to lie detector testing. In a case of suspected corporate espionage, it may be helpful to rule out the involvement of certain colleagues by using this bio-metric test.
