Proprietary Information Protection

Safeguarding against corporate espionage and personal targeting for blackmail, bribery or extortion requires an intricately robust series of programmatic checks, safeguards, technical systems, employee awareness, document controls, IT protections as well as good physical, technical security measures. Whether you’re in a low-risk environment and want to safeguard your information from unintentional leakage, a high-risk environment and need to safeguard from well-resourced adversaries or anywhere in between, Kroll has the experience, expertise and resources to build lasting information protection programs and measures.

Constant advancements in technology have lowered the barriers for entry into the corporate espionage world. Disgruntled former employees, terminated executives, dedicated competitors, hobby-hacktivists and foreign government actors all know the theft of proprietary information can be crippling for an organization’s profitability, reputation and ultimate survival—all while affording a competitive edge for them.

Kroll offers the most robust and modern information protection programs available. At Kroll, we combine the most experienced personnel with the most advanced technology and bring our clients powerful solutions for safeguarding proprietary information, thwarting acts of industrial espionage and protecting their brand from those who intend harm.

Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) Investigations

• Do you have any suspicions your information is being stolen?
• Are you personally or professionally being targeted with a smear campaign?
• Have you found suspicious and unexplainable devices in your space?
• Have you recently terminated an individual who poses a technical risk to your information?
• Has information gotten out that was discussed privately?
• Do you need regular TSCM sweeps to align with information security best practices?

Kroll’s global teams of TSCM specialists are available anytime, anywhere to assess your vulnerabilities, find nefarious bugging and eavesdropping devices, and help identify who may be targeting your sensitive information. Industrial and corporate espionage is an unfortunate fact of life, relatively easy to perpetuate, and poses significant vulnerabilities to organizations, investor confidence, brand loyalty and sustainability.
