Part of Caledonia Risk Group - CRG
For insurers, solicitors, litigation teams, and corporate organisations, Caledonia Risk delivers intelligence-led investigations providing reliable and lawfully obtained intelligence to support critical decisions. With decades of combined operational experience, our team specialises in covert surveillance operations across Scotland for insurance fraud, litigation support, and corporate fraud investigations, ensuring clients receive actionable intelligence when it matters most.
Investigations are conducted with careful planning, operational discretion, and strict adherence to legal and professional standards. Caledonia Risk operates across Scotland, including major centres as well as smaller towns and rural locations, where discreet fieldwork is essential.
Proprietary tools such as BRAHAN assist our private investigators in Scotland in locating individuals, tracing debtors, and identifying assets, providing clarity and security for financial, legal, and operational matters.
Covert surveillance is the cornerstone of Caledonia Risk’s services. From matrimonial investigations to brand protection, operations are commissioned by insurers, solicitors, and corporate clients to gather independent intelligence on suspected fraud, disputed litigation claims, or internal business concerns. Surveillance is executed with lawful, operationally precise techniques to ensure intelligence is actionable, reliable, and legally defensible.
Case Example: Following the acquisition of an Edinburgh hearing care business, the new owners suspected the former managing director may have retained relationships with existing clients. Caledonia Risk was instructed to conduct discreet surveillance and obtained evidence of the individual visiting client homes and continuing to provide services. The intelligence allowed the company to address the issue and protect the value of the acquired business.
Caledonia Risk assists insurers and litigation professionals where claims or disputes require independent verification. Insurance fraud investigations across Scotland provide objective intelligence that mitigates risk and informs critical decisions.
Case Example: A claimant in Glasgow reported a long-term injury preventing normal activity. Caledonia Risk was instructed to conduct covert surveillance services over several days, documenting routine outdoor exercise inconsistent with the claim. The findings allowed the insurer to reassess exposure and make informed decisions.
“Their professionalism and attention to detail gave us confidence in every step of the process.”
Organisations may require discreet investigative support for employee misconduct, conflicts of interest, or internal fraud. Caledonia Risk conducts investigations in a low-profile manner, delivering actionable intelligence without disrupting operations.
Case Example: A corporate client in Aberdeen raised concerns regarding an employee suspected of conducting unauthorised external work during contracted hours. Our surveillance team confirmed the individual was attending multiple third-party sites during working hours. The intelligence enabled the organisation to take prompt internal action and protect its commercial interests.
When confidential discussions may be at risk, Caledonia Risk provides TSCM inspections across Scotland to identify and neutralise unauthorised surveillance devices, protecting sensitive communications and operational security.
Case Example: A local authority in Scotland engaged Caledonia Risk following concerns regarding suspected espionage. A comprehensive technical sweep identified a covert listening device within the premises. Subsequent counter-surveillance and close protection measures were implemented for the affected individual, including security provisions at their residence.
Caledonia Risk supports clients with locating individuals, tracing debtors, and identifying assets for legal, financial, or corporate matters. Using lawful investigative research and proprietary tools such as BRAHAN, investigators deliver clear intelligence to support strategic decisions.
Case Example: A solicitor in Inverness required confirmation of an individual’s location and associated assets in relation to a financial dispute. Utilising our BRAHAN intelligence platform, our private investigators identified multiple high-value assets and traced the individual to an address on the outskirts of London. The intelligence enabled legal proceedings to continue without delay.
All investigations are conducted under strict legal and ethical frameworks to ensure intelligence is reliable, defensible, and professionally obtained:
