Investigation services performed by skilled investigators form a vital part of family office security. These services include conducting due diligence investigations, financial/fraud investigations, and handling complex threat cases. The investigative process involves thorough fact-gathering and intelligence-gathering to give clients the necessary information to make knowledgeable decisions.
Where required, our investigative services identify and evaluate potential sources of violence. These services incorporate protective operations, threat management, and behavioural analysis. The organisation’s investigators and internal experts are trained to quickly and effectively recognise, assess, and help mitigate risks posed by individuals or groups with potentially harmful intentions.
Westminster Security maintains extensive liaison relationships with national and local law enforcement agencies to guarantee clients’ best possible safety and security. Additionally, they have established ongoing relationships with psychologists who can assess the potential for violence and provide appropriate recommendations. Throughout the investigation process, we work closely with clients to provide timely updates as new information becomes available. These comprehensive investigative services offer a valuable resource for family offices looking to take proactive measures to prevent misconduct or harm.
Due Diligence in family office security services includes Pre-employment Background Investigations, Vendor Due Diligence and Strategic Vetting. These three crucial areas are essential to guarantee the safety and stability of our client’s personal and business affairs. By conducting comprehensive investigations into potential employees, vendors and partners, we can identify any risks or problems that may jeopardise our clients’ interests.
Our pre-employment due diligence and background checks thoroughly investigate the backgrounds of potential employees, partners, domestic staff, third-party agents, and others through a combination of public records research and interviews. Our Name Trace report is an online search that traces names and likenesses, including national criminal and court records, search, Interpol search, National Sex Offender Registry check, and an examination of the Office of Foreign Asset Control’s Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List. This comprehensive review ensures that our clients hire individuals with clean records who share their values and goals. By conducting pre-employment background checks, we help reduce the risk of fraud or theft by identifying warning signs before they become problematic. Our objective approach to these investigations enables us to provide impartial results that can be used to make informed decisions about potential hires.
Vendor due diligence involves thoroughly investigating the business operations and reputation of potential vendors, suppliers, distributors, or other entities, using a combination of public records research and interviews. This investigative process is vital for any company or entity looking to establish a business relationship with another organisation, as it helps identify potential risks that may arise from dealing with a particular vendor. The due diligence process typically involves examining financial records, legal documents, regulatory compliance history, and past performance evaluations. Additionally, interviews are conducted with key personnel to gain insight into the vendor’s management structure, business practices, and overall reputation within the industry. Overall, vendor due diligence is an essential component of effective risk management strategies for businesses seeking to protect themselves from financial losses and reputational damage caused by unscrupulous vendors or suppliers.
Organisations can acquire valuable insights into the character and background of individuals with access to sensitive information or assets by carrying out strategic vetting. Screening helps to mitigate potential risks and ensure the safety of their operations, which is crucial for establishing a secure and trustworthy environment that promotes productivity and innovation. Strategic vetting involves thoroughly reviewing an individual’s history, including their education, employment records, criminal record (if any), financial standing, social media activity, and personal references. This process helps organisations identify any red flags or inconsistencies indicating a candidate’s unsuitability for the role. Furthermore, strategic vetting can assist in verifying the qualifications and experience claimed by candidates, as well as providing critical insights into their integrity and honesty. Overall, strategic vetting is essential for safeguarding organisational assets against internal threats and promoting accountability among employees working in positions of trust.
Providing fraud investigation and financial due diligence services is crucial when the police force has limited resources. As fraud becomes increasingly sophisticated, it is essential to have a team of experienced investigators who can thoroughly investigate suspicious activity. Our team specialises in financial and fraud investigations, including forensic accountancy.
We take pride in delivering high-quality investigations that are fully documented and compatible with legal proceedings. Our work is used not only by individuals seeking justice for fraudulent activities but also by insolvency practitioners and administrators who require expert analysis of complex cases. Additionally, we have pursued large-scale debts worldwide and led complete investigations into various fraudulent schemes such as Ponzi schemes, boiler room scams, and advance fee frauds.
