  In today’s ever-changing world, more and more companies are conducting post-hire screenings in order to mitigate risk.  Most companies screen for red flags in their candidate's  work, legal or financial history once, before they come on board. The problem is that those checks represent a moment in time. If an employee commits a crime, has a license revoked or loses work authorization after being hired, the employer may never find out.  

The Post Employment Re-Certification Program at IFS works with your companies Human Resource  team to implement a  Re-Certification Program that checks the status of their existing employees on an annual or scheduled basis.  Conducting checks at regular intervals keeps your business in compliance & helps protect your company by ensuring a safer and more secure workforce.

 Working remotely has become an upward trend across most industries. More employees, of all generations, want to change the way they work. And as it becomes harder and harder to secure solid talent, telecommuting is a popular benefit many businesses are offering to entice the best candidates but with all the benefits of allowing your employees to work remotely, there are a few precautions that must be addressed.  The  biggest concern most employers have regarding remote workers isn't  the lack of office equipment at home or the  slower productivity issues, it's security.  Employers need to know who has access to their data and other company information such as company secrets and or other intellectual property.  Is the employee working on a secured network ?  Does anyone residing with the employee have a criminal record ?  Is your companies data safe ?  Our Remote Employee Background Investigation will give you that information and insure your companies information is safe and secure.

 Social media can connect people and help them maintain and support relationships from all parts of their lives. It lets us share and interact with one another in countless ways. People can use social media to build up and portray their online identity—sharing everything from major life events to what they ate for breakfast this morning. All that sharing and interaction leave behind a long, complicated, and informative trail about a person's personality, motivations, friends, activities, patterns of behavior, and actions. That makes social media a powerful tool for investigators. 

 A Social Media Investigation (SMI) looks into the social media posts, status updates, photos, and conversations of an individual. You might require a social media investigation for relationship issues, a court case, custody battle, or as part of a background investigation. This can be used as evidence in court cases to support alibis and provide supplementary evidence, for risk assessment, and for active monitoring.

While anyone can conduct a Social Media Investigation , IFS Limited utilizes high-powered software that makes for a quicker, more efficient search. Our experienced  Investigators also have a strong understanding of ethics and know what data can/must be pulled for evidence to be admissible in court. This means they are well-versed in metadata, MD5 hash value, what is required for provability, and the rules that dictate what level of searching, friending, and following is allowed, depending on the case criteria.  

Our highest Level Due Diligence Investigation (L3) is a deep dive into the background of an individual or company. It requires an in-country ‘boots-on-the-ground’ presentation. 

An L3 Investigation is designed to supply you  and / or your company “with a comprehensive analysis of all available public records data supplemented with detailed field intelligence to identify known and more importantly unknown conditions, allowing you to make the most informed decisions.

The objective of our L3 Investigations is to obtain hidden, secret or undisclosed information about the subject individual. This highest level of due diligence will in most cases uncover

* Reputational Information

* Involvement in other Businesses

* Direct & Indirect Involvement in other Civil Actions 

* History of Litigious Behaviors

* Behaviors that can adversely affect your business or reputation

* Perceptions of impropriety, should they be disclosed publicly

As information becomes more available from a vast number of sources, skilled researchers can often find nearly any type of data they’re looking for, provided they know where to look. These sources include both public and private databases that hackers, journalists, spies, and ordinary people all use to do the work of collecting information.  Much of this information simply isn’t able to be retrieved through search engines and requires knowledge of where the right database is located to get the right answers. 

An OSINT investigation starts with answering an answerable question. Because there is no shortage of data out there, it’s easy to get lost in all the noise if what you’re looking for isn’t clear and answerable in the first place. An example of this might be questioning “is the City of Miami safer than the City of Chicago?"Los Angeles?” versus “Have reports of police misconduct increased in New York County since 2010?” One question calls for an opinion or assumption and can be difficult to answer, where the second question can be easily answered by finding the exact data.  

Generally, an investigation will develop an understanding of a subject by asking answerable questions and using the best quality answers to paint a picture. While third-party reports like a newspaper quoting another source are useful, it’s important to be critical of the sources you find during an OSINT investigation. Because there is so much information, much of it inaccurate or published by unreliable sources, OSINT Researchers at IFS are extremely critical of the sources of data used, preferring only to use verified primary source data to draw conclusions.
