What We Do
We provide successful, streamlined investigation processes honed over 25 years in both the real and cyber worlds. Our expert team is fully capable of advancing investigations from start to finish, achieving numerous successful outcomes for clients.
Identify
As the first step of our start-to-finish solution, IC has developed specialized tactics designed to proactively discover potential high-priority threats specific to your brand. We leverage proprietary methodologies to identify and analyze risks tailored to your unique profile.
Investigate
IC is equipped with the technology and resources to ascertain an individual's identity and develop an understanding of the subject’s scope of activities. Such investigations include Undercover work, Open Source Intelligence (OSINT). and other investigative techniques that give us a full understanding of the Threat Profile.
Enforce
Once a full investigation is complete, IC has the ability to pursue enforcement options, if applicable. These enforcement options can range from serving a Cease & Desist Notice or referring a matter to authorities for criminal prosecution. IC has successfully referred more criminal matters to law enforcement authorities than any other investigative firm in the United States.
Outcome
The IC team has assisted numerous law enforcement agencies around the world in thousands of criminal actions. Many resulted in successful outcomes, including the seizure of illicit goods, convictions, and restitution for our clients regarding Intellectual Property Crimes. No other investigative company has a stronger track record working with authorities to address Illicit Trade and counterfeit matters.
Follow-Up
In many cases, unauthorized sellers resume operations after criminal actions. IC provides critical follow-up to ensure they stay out of business. As a full-service firm, we work closely with clients to protect their intellectual property rights.
