Digital Investigation for Organisations
Digital investigations for businesses: social media, side activities, non-compete breaches and reputational damage. Lawful, GDPR-compliant and with an evidence-ready report.
Online traces mapped carefully and lawfully, for employers and organisations
Many questions inside an organisation have an online side: an employee active on social media while on sick leave, a former colleague approaching clients, or a post that damages your reputation. Santos Recherchebureau carries out digital investigations in open sources and on social media, always within the Dutch private investigation act (Wpbr) and GDPR, and without hacking or intercepting communications.
When is a digital investigation appropriate?
- Absenteeism: social media signals that don't match the reported incapacity, as a complement to surveillance.
- Side activities: an employee running their own business or working for a competitor alongside their job.
- Non-compete or non-solicitation clauses: a former employee approaching clients or colleagues.
- Corporate fraud and integrity: mapping relationships, companies and online traces around a suspected fraud.
- Leaks, defamation and reputational damage: tracing the origin of online statements that harm your organisation.
- Background screening: verifying open-source information about a candidate or business relation.
What we do for you
- OSINT research: targeted research in open sources, registers and social media.
- Network and relationship research: mapping links between people, companies and online profiles.
- Preserving evidence: reproducible documentation of findings, with source, date and time.
- Combined with surveillance: where useful, we reinforce digital research with surveillance for a complete picture.
- Reporting: an objective, factual report usable towards employers, insurers or in court.
What we don't do
We don't hack accounts or devices, intercept communications or access closed environments under false pretences. Only lawfully accessible information is used, so the evidence stays usable and your organisation protected.
