Security risks occur when people take deliberate actions to harm or damage your organization.
Any organization that has assets – intellectual or physical, including reputation, people, and brand – has a security problem. Security breaches are an inherent part of doing business. The corporate investigative services process looks to determine what happened, the extent of the loss, and remediation that might be indicated. A superior investigation requires more than actionable intelligence. To be truly successful, it must ultimately provide the client with value above and beyond the cost of service.
We maximize value by never losing sight of our client’s needs and objectives. Although every investigation is conducted with the understanding that criminal prosecution or litigation may be a reality, we always seek to obtain a tangible return on the client’s investment, including the recovery of stolen property and the availability of insurance coverage to offset investigation costs.
In addition, we work diligently to structure investigations in phases, with identifiable milestones that allow for the periodic assessment of results. This enables the client to more effectively balance costs against the probable result, and modify accordingly. Our corporate investigative services and digital forensics investigation services are available to businesses in Raleigh and Charlotte, NC and beyond.

THE PROTUS3 INVESTIGATIVE TEAM
Much of our success is directly attributable to the tenacity, skill, and breadth of experience of our investigative team. Our investigators are among the best in their field who enjoyed distinguished careers in both law enforcement and the private sector. Also, many of our investigative team members hold degrees and certifications in such fields as computer science and forensics as well as advanced training in specialized investigations related to the law enforcement field.
While we embrace technology and value its role in virtually all aspects of an investigation, we also recognize the importance of the time-honored “gumshoe” approach to investigations that involves personal contact and the opportunity to produce a quality interview.
In this age of instant information and global commerce, the frenetic pace brought about by the use of technology can quickly result in issues that span multiple states and know no geographic boundaries. A local problem can become regional or even nationwide in a matter of minutes. We expect this. While there is no ideal solution, the contacts and resources developed since 1988 allow our investigative team to provide support to our clients far beyond North Carolina.
