The damage is done long before it becomes visible
A competitor launches a strikingly similar product. A payment to a “new” supplier disappears. Customer data turns up in a forum. By the time a company finds out, the damage has usually been done.
Our job is to detect such developments early, find their causes and enable you to act – before a risk turns into a loss.
Expertise
For each area we describe the threats, where companies typically have weak spots, and what an incident costs.

How we work
Confidential
We treat every mandate in strict confidence. We do not name clients and discuss cases only with the people you designate.
Facts, not gut feeling
Decisions need reliable information. We research, verify sources and assess what is really dangerous.
Within the law
We work exclusively with lawful means and, where necessary, coordinate with your lawyers and the authorities.
