Objective:

Provide covert intelligence on suspected internal espionage and intellectual property risk, including monitoring of employees potentially sharing sensitive commercial information with external parties. The client required defensible evidence to mitigate corporate risk and protect trade secrets.

Approach:

Our team deployed a combination of human surveillance operatives and BRAHAN OSINT analytics to map targets, track activity, and identify patterns of potential risk. Surveillance operations were conducted across multiple locations over three and a half weeks, with strict adherence to GDPR, UK legal frameworks, and local regulations abroad.

Outcome & ROI:

Operations confirmed targeted individuals were engaging in behaviour that presented a genuine risk to the client’s commercial interests. Intelligence gathered allowed the client to implement corrective actions swiftly, protect confidential information, and mitigate potential reputational and financial damage. Total cost for the 3.5-week operation: £62,755.44.

Key Takeaway:

By integrating global surveillance operations with intelligence-led analysis via BRAHAN, Caledonia Risk delivers actionable insights that protect corporate assets, ensure compliance, and safeguard long-term operational integrity.

Operational Context:

Operations of this nature are regularly undertaken by Caledonia Risk for international corporate clients where protection of intellectual property, trade secrets, and sensitive operational information is critical.
