Director/owner Erik Muller is your contact person for fraud & integrity. Erik will be happy to explain which solutions we can offer you.
Do you suspect that fraud is being committed within your company or government organization?
That there is theft or a breach of integrity? Before taking action, it is important to ensure you have objective evidence to support your suspicions. And in such a way that it can be used in any potential legal proceedings. The experienced private investigators at Cortex can assist you with this.
Identifying and preventing
Based on your research question, we analyze the situation, create a research proposal, and conduct our investigation in a discreet manner. In doing so, we collect the evidence that either confirms or disproves your suspicion. Additionally, we pragmatically map out how such a situation can be prevented in the future. Quick clarity brings peace of mind.
Experienced team
At Cortex a swift and honest approach to your problem is in the hands of a large team of experienced specialists who have gained years of experience with many private and public clients, as well as with (specialist) units of defense and police. Think of senior security consultants, surveillance experts and private investigators.
24/7/365
Cortex is available and accessible 24/7/365. On call in case of an emergency or as part of an ongoing business program. We work both nationally and internationally for a wide variety of clients, ranging from wealthy families to executive boards and boards of directors. From medium-sized companies to multinationals. From ministries to local government agencies. You are most welcome!
Embezzlement of funds and fuel card fraud are examples of common types of fraud. Is a colleague the perpetrator, or did they give a third party the opportunity? Or are contractors or visitors involved? We conduct desk research, interview those involved, and quickly present our conclusions.
Unacceptable violations of standards and values require a swift response. The perpetrator is addressed for unacceptable behavior and bears the consequences. Colleagues see an employer who takes a safe working environment seriously. Our discreet investigation contributes to this.
On assignment, we carry out your screening investigation. This ranges from a general CV check with verification of stated diplomas to conducting background research on social media and open sources. An integrity interview or a home visit is also among the possibilities.
Received a beautiful tablet? Received an invitation to an exclusive event? Where is the line when it comes to gifts in order to work with integrity? In the workshop, we provide insight into how to handle such situations and create a foundation for colleagues to keep each other sharp in the workplace.
Missing stock in the warehouse or on the construction site is one of the many types of theft. We investigate, visit locations, and sometimes use hidden cameras. We complete the investigation quickly, as taking decisive action sends an important signal.
We provide you with insight into the different levels of screening and advise you on the right approach for your specific business activities. We help you integrate these into your HR policy.
We visit your location(s), assess the risks, and advise you on which measures need to be taken urgently and which can be addressed at a later stage. If desired, we coordinate the involvement of third parties who install recommended equipment, without adding any markup.
To protect your competitive advantage, it is wise to actively counter industrial espionage. If your company or organization operates in an environment where the stakes are high, it is not a question if, but when third parties will attempt to secretly gain insight into your business. This can happen in a literal sense, but more likely in a figurative sense, for example through eavesdropping devices in the boardroom or GPS tracking of executive vehicles.
If you are being extorted, someone is trying to make you pay or do something in exchange for your own security. Blackmail is more or less the same, except you are pressured with the possible disclosure of sensitive information about you. Cortex helps you immediately and advises you on which measures to take.
Red teaming is a commonly used method to test the security measures and protocols in place within your company. We use various techniques and tactics to gain access to your company, either digitally or physically.
