Test Purchasing
Also known as ‘sample purchasing’, ‘trap purchasing’, ‘evidentiary test buying’ and ‘covert test purchasing’.
We operate an extensive covert infrastructure including natural cover facilities (NCF’s), enabling our investigators to conduct both evidential and non-evidential purchases across the globe.
Investigation
Professional investigations are our core business, our Directors have extensive experience managing complex and high level criminal investigations both nationally and internationally and all investigations comply with the Police and Criminal Evidence Act, Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act, the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act and relevant territorial legislation and regulations.
Surveillance
Surveillance remains a valuable investigative resource. Our experienced professionals deliver outstanding results with professionalism and transparency, ensuring that at all times the information gained is collected with integrity, legally and in accordance with the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA) and the Human Rights Act.
Internet Investigation and Online Research (OSINT)
With the rapid growth of the internet, e-commerce and social media, our clients report that law enforcement resources are increasingly limited and as a result the onus falls on them to perform ‘online’ investigations, intelligence gathering and enforce their IP rights.
Market Surveys
We provide a range of ‘boutique’ tailored solutions for our clients. Our surveys, research and monitoring can be conducted both ‘online’ as well as ‘on the ground’ and both are supported by our covert infrastructure and natural cover facilities, often enabling us to deliver where others simply fail.
