International Due Diligence Services You Can Trust

The world’s increasingly interconnected nature means that mergers, investments, and acquisitions are now conducted on a global scale. Many U.S. firms are now acquiring overseas companies, building partnerships with foreign entities, or investing in international opportunities. Unfortunately, many of the most exciting opportunities are in some of the highest-risk areas of the world, and it’s often difficult to know who to trust. International Security Services, Inc. (ISS) can provide the international due diligence services you need to ensure that your business interests are protected on the global stage.

Rely on ISS for Your Overseas Due Diligence Needs

There are good actors and bad actors in every country around the world, but it is sometimes difficult to determine the facts without doing proper due diligence first. When your company needs to do accurate international due diligence to minimize risk during business ventures overseas, you need an experienced partner who can provide thorough and accurate investigations that answer your most pressing questions.

Conducting Key Investigations in Other Countries

Proper due diligence protects your company from unforeseen liability, fraud, and other associated risks. That due diligence requires more than just verifying a foreign company’s leadership team and assets, however. To fully protect your company’s interests, you need a more in-depth look into the company’s business history, practices, and current operations. You also need comprehensive background checks on its leadership team and even its most prominent shareholders.

The problem is that it can be difficult for a U.S firm to obtain that verification without outside help. That’s where we come in. Our experts are familiar with the world and have extensive overseas contacts and resources – with a specialization in conducting due diligence investigations within the territories of the former Soviet Union. Contact us today for more information about how we can meet your due diligence needs.

Verifying Online and Offline Opportunities

Modern technology has made fraud easier than ever. For most fraudsters, a few fake documents, a manufactured history, and a hastily-concocted website are all that’s needed to pose as a legitimate company and business opportunity. Few real businesses have the time or resources needed to completely vet foreign companies to determine their legitimacy or potential for real investment opportunity. Even legitimate companies may conceal important facts or misrepresent themselves to make their companies more attractive to potential investors or buyers.

As one of the foremost due diligence companies in the world, ISS has the experience and expertise needed to provide you with comprehensive investigations that get the answers you deserve. We can verify key facts, obtain real evidence, and help you screen for fraud to minimize your company’s risk. Our goal is to provide you with the facts you need to ensure that your international mergers, acquisitions, and investments are based on the most accurate and useful information available.

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.
