Connect With One of Our Private Investigators:

A private investigator may field the inquiry prior to reaching out in order to understand the situation and prepare. Questions asked by the agent may be one or all of the following:

Does this investigation have reasonable purpose?
Where is the Subject or Matter located?
Can you provide specific information in which you are seeking to obtain?
Do you have any knowledge or intel that you would like our agents to investigate further?
What information on the Subject or matter have you found already?
Would you like any close associates or persons investigated as well?

Your Investigation:

Once a case action plan has been identified, your assigned private detective will begin the investigation. An example of the investigative process may look like such:

Immediate Action. Your case will be immediately assigned and work will begin within the first 12-24 hours.
Corroborating facts. Is the information provided to the investigator sound?
Execution of Case Action Plan. We assign the most fit investigator to achieve the most valuable results.
Case Action Updates. Your investigator will provide you with status updates and obtained information regularly.
Facts. After obtaining the information sought after, we comb through the case file and ensure no steps or information had been missed.
Final Report. Compiling your case report may be the most crucial part. We ensure professionalism and accuracy.

Our team of highly trained professional investigators will obtain information on the specific person or object. Actions in accordance with legal guidelines, time tailored for your case, and proper reporting are all necessary for a private investigator to fulfill a proper investigation. Premarital investigations may require additional time outside the 4 hour minimum that PRIVIN has in place to conduct a professional investigation.

Being the professionals that we are, in the event that the client requests the assigned agent to appear in court, we are able to coordinate the evolution.

Confidentiality is paramount and therefore all communication between a client, and the assigned investigators will be kept Confidential.

Why is IP protection important?

Protecting IP prevents unauthorized use, ensuring businesses retain competitive advantage and revenue from their innovations.

How can I register my IP?

Register your IP with relevant authorities: patents for inventions, trademarks for brand identifiers, and copyrights for creative works.

How do background checks help protect IP?

Background checks on employees and partners can identify potential risks, helping prevent internal threats to your IP.

How can I safeguard my IP?

You can safeguard your IP by registering it or having employees or collaborators sign an NDA. Besides these you can also use watermarks and copyright notices on important materials. Common practices also include, conducting backgroud checks, monitoring employees and digital tools, limiting access, conducting regular audits, backing up data and using strong passwords or 2-factor authentications.
