Undercover Agents
Placing an undercover operative into a workforce is one of the most efficient & cost effective means for an employer to investigate malfeasance in the workplace. Undercover information corroborated by employee interviews, provides the employer with sufficient evidence to sustain a discharge for a criminal prosecution. It also provides management with an understanding of how these events took place to prevent their reoccurrence. Posing as a regular company employee or a company contract employee, an undercover agent can assist in identifying and isolating your existing exposure to loss, which should be your first objective.
The undercover investigation is also an enormously effective weapon in the battle to prevent control deterioration. A substantial percentage of all operating, control, and administrative expenditures are justified only by their loss preventive potential, and unless the realisation of that potential is audited through undercover and other methods, the activities could be futile exercises and the funds wasted.
Undercover agents are also an invaluable source of information regarding weak links within the security network and can provide information on to whether or not security protocols are being maintained, thereby ensuring an ongoing audit of security operations. In many cases our undercover agents are infiltrated into security operations, while they perform standard security officer duties. They are also utilised to ensure the integrity of the security officers by reporting on potential collusion between security officers and criminal elements.
Our agents are in a position to provide a vast amount of information not otherwise available to higher level management. Grassroots information is provided which by-passes middle management. Agents are placed inside the organisation as normal workers and they are employed as anyone else. They ingratiate themselves with other workers and become "one of the workers.
