Corporate Surveillance in New York City

Corporate surveillance is a complex area of business security, but it remains one of the best ways for your company to protect itself against risk and serious harm. International Security Services, Inc. (ISS) surveillance professionals have the tools and skills needed to help you minimize those risks and protect your company’s interests.

Reliable Corporate Investigations In New York City

In today’s tight legal and regulatory environment, operating a business can be filled with peril, but legal concerns are only one of many challenges that companies can face. Company executives, employees, consultants, and others can commit acts of wrongdoing that can seriously harm the business.

Why You Might Need a Corporate Investigation

Businesses face many hazards and potential risks these days. Still, it can be difficult to know whether your company can benefit from corporate investigations.

Unfortunately, few companies can afford to maintain the in-house investigators needed to ensure compliance and prevent or deter internal wrongdoing and malfeasance. For companies in New York City, the solution is simple: rely on outside experts to conduct the corporate surveillance needed to protect your business. International Security Services, Inc. (ISS) corporate investigators have the experience and expertise you need to safeguard your company’s interests.

  • Do you have concerns about employee dishonesty?
  • Are there discrepancies in your company finances?
  • Are you worried that your business systems have been compromised?
  • Have thieves or others penetrated your company security?
  • Are you concerned about rivals stealing your business secrets?
  • Do you need to investigate potential harassment, abuse, or other threats in the workplace?

If you are concerned about those are other related issues, ISS investigators can help. Our trained and licensed investigators have the skills and tools needed to help you get the answers you need.

Your Corporate Investigation Options

Corporate investigations can be conducted in a variety of ways, depending upon the issues involved and your company’s needs. In some cases, investigators may need to use multiple investigative techniques and tools to resolve your concerns:

Undercover Investigations

Sometimes, you need a trained investigator on-site to uncover wrongdoing. An undercover investigator can blend into your organization and see and hear things that you would ordinarily never discover. Covert surveillance can help you identify everything from theft to potential risks associated with harassment, violence, and substance abuse.

Computer Investigations

Computer forensics can be an important way to identify hacks, intellectual property theft, and other breaches of your company’s security.

Surveillance Countermeasures

If your intellectual property or company strategies are somehow being compromised, it’s possible that your rivals or outside parties have your business under surveillance. Our countermeasures can conduct bug sweeps and other operations to eliminate that spying.

Electronic Surveillance

Good old-fashioned electronic surveillance remains the gold standard for companies that need hard evidence to prove theft, abuse, and other wrongdoing. ISS experts have access to state-of-the-art surveillance tools to help you meet those needs.

Financial Analysis

When you’re worried about embezzlement or any potential irregularity in your company finances, our surveillance experts can help you investigate and uncover any potential financial crime.

Frequently Asked Questions

Contact International Security Services, Inc. today to learn more about our general investigations, business investigations, overseas investigations, and background check services.

Who uses private investigation services?

Many people and companies have questions that only an investigation can answer. For example, you may wonder whether a spouse is being unfaithful, desire to learn more about your adoption, or want to run a background check prior to marriage. Businesses often need help investigating potential fraud, screening employees, or conducting due diligence before mergers, acquisitions, or overseas expansions. International Security Services, Inc. can help with those and other investigation needs.

Why can’t I just investigate on my own?

Obviously, you could try to investigate just about anything on your own. However, there’s a reason why people and companies choose private investigators to get the answers they need. Proper investigations take time, resources, and skill sets that most laypeople lack. In addition, many people are unfamiliar with legal issues related to surveillance and other investigative concerns and can thus easily run afoul of the law during any do-it-yourself investigation.

Why should I choose ISS?

ISS investigators have the expertise and experience you need to get the answers you deserve. Our investigators are all licensed professionals with skills sets that include intelligence gathering and counterintelligence measures, and they’re backed by state-of-the-art investigative tools and techniques.

Can you help me with overseas investigations?

We can. At ISS, we are fluent in both English and Russian, and familiar with the Russian community. As a result, we can provide quality investigative services in both the U.S. and the nations that were once part of the Soviet Union.

What should I know about my investigators?

You should only consider investigators who are properly licensed, bonded, and insured, and who have a proven track record of success. ISS investigators meet and surpass those expectations, which is why our team can offer the most effective investigation services in New York City and abroad.

Should I be concerned about discretion?

When you hire ISS investigators, discretion is a priority. We conduct covert investigations to ensure that subjects remain unaware that they are being surveilled or otherwise investigated. New York statutes require that investigators only release your information if you request it or a court orders such information to be divulged. Otherwise, information that we share with one another is considered confidential. That includes information that you provide during any consultation, even if you decide not to hire ISS.

Are there limitations and things you can’t investigate or do?

Of course. For example, private investigators are not allowed to surreptitiously obtain credit report information without written consent or record conversations without at least one party’s knowledge. We do not harass targets, violate local, state, or federal law, or otherwise conduct ourselves in any way that might be considered immoral or unethical. We can, however, use every legal tool at our disposal to ensure that you get the answers you need.

Property Security Evaluation Report

Your Individualized Property Evaluation Report

Your site’s individualized property evaluation report contains information and analysis that you need to properly manage your site’s security needs. That information includes detailed analysis of the crime rate in your area, site access and parking protocols, and existing security infrastructure. Interior inspection includes analysis of emergency exits, fire suppression capabilities, and alarm infrastructure for emergencies. Exterior inspection includes analysis of structural defects, property lighting, and potential vulnerabilities in building access.

In addition to those inspections, our analysis also considered environmental factors, potential risks from older trees, outside property maintenance, and nearby crime that may overflow to the area. We also examined emergency response planning, including fire evacuation protocols and information supplied to residents about proper evacuation process.

 

Pressing Suggestions


We highly suggest a camera placement along this driveway, as the overhead cameras in the back parking lot may not capture all makes, models, and license plates of cars entering in and out based on the angle they are recording from. The best camera placement would be at the green circle closest to the sidewalk/street.
The common area is easily accessible, but based on the angle that cameras are set at the front lot, anyone can enter the basement common area concealing the side of their face that is facing the camera. This is not to say that the camera arrangement should be changed, but it is highly recommended to have coverage in this common area as the common area is on a lower floor not visible from the sidewalk.


However, a few fundamental problems exist when it comes to access control of the back parking (a big territory). Even though only two issues have ever occurred there, the wide-open access point to that lot may need to be corrected sooner than later as there is a significant uptick in crime in the 62nd precinct.

Furthermore, there are two fundamental surveillance blind spots along the driveway leading to the back parking lot and every common area.

Lastly, however unlikely it may seem, tenants should have resources and a physical guide for situations that may require an evacuation. Whether it be a flood or fire, each tenant should know how to use a fire extinguisher and where to evacuate to during a flood regardless of their proximity to a shoreline.
