ESPIONAGE
Eyes - Who’s watching? Fraud & Theft Protection; Corporate espionage and company corruption are becoming serious problems for business. Fraudulent practices by employees, such as the theft and sale of valuable information, can seriously damage a company's reputation and financial position.
Businesses are commonly targeted for illegal electronic surveillances by competing corporations and foreign governments, and high profile personalities and celebrities too, due to their tabloid and extortion value.
Personal and Corporate espionage is a rapidly growing phenomenon in our highly competitive and complex global economy. Are you sure that your company’s classified information is being protected?
Have you ever discussed vital contract information or the latest product development, only to find out later that this confidential information was suddenly public knowledge?
Only you know if you have reason to believe whether someone is listening or watching, and if you think they are, then they probably are.
COUNTER-SURVEILLANCE
One of the most valuable commodities an organization has is it's proprietary information. Yet, many companies and organizations do very little to protect this investment.
This valuable information can be intercepted and stolen as it is transmitted through telephone or cellular communication, fax, computer modem, video conferencing or even through regular office conversations. There are numerous ways an intelligence operative can intercept your data. The value inherent in this information can affect an organizations' bottom line, public image, litigation, ownership of intellectual property, and human lives.
Information theft is a booming business and cannot only destabilize your business, but your personal life as well. Knowledge is not only power, it’s information. How important is you’re information? The Core Group specializes in locating and neutralizing surreptitious devices and nefarious personnel designed to pilfer your personal or business information without your permission, for the intended purposes of affecting damage to yourself, those you care for, or your business.
STALKING
Body - Who’s following? A recent study by the National Institute of Justice found that stalking was far more prevalent than anyone had imagined: 8% of American women and 2% of American men will be stalked in their lifetimes. That’s 1.4 million American stalking victims every year. No two cases are alike. Some will stalk from the shadows, never bothering their victim and subsequently they are seldom discovered. Others will write a dozen letters a day and mail gifts or other items to their victim, thereby inducing fear in the victim and the victim’s surroundings.
Stalking is broken down into three broad categories: Intimate partner stalkers, delusional stalkers and vengeful stalkers. Studies also show that the overwhelming number of stalkers are men and the overwhelming number of their victims are women.
There are many points to consider; reporting the stalker to the police? Is there enough evidence? How will you handle the press? Do you have adequate security back-up? Core Group has a vast amount of experience regarding these types of cases and can provide you answers and solutions to putting an end to this type of situation.
