WORKPLACE INVESTIGATION
In today’s workplace environment, most employee’s digital activities leave and electronic trail behind. Data is easily transferred and manipulated on mass storage devices and electronic corporate files can be tampered with. As such, the need for digital forensics has never been greater or more relevant when dealing with workplace-related legal matters. Numerousfactors including multi-jurisdictional labour laws, collective agreements and privacy regulations significantly affect workplace investigations.
At DigitalWyzdom, one of Canada’s leading dedicated security consulting firms, we have created a specialty practice within our Digital Forensics group focused solely on the unique challenges and sensitivities of Workplace Investigations. Our consultants have extensive experience providing digital forensic services to many of Canada’s top-tier legal firms as well as several of Canada’s medium and large corporations.
How We Do It
We have found that most workplace investigations are conducted in two phases. The initial phase consists of the following steps:
Consulting with the client and external legal counsel Taking appropriate action to remove or sequester the employee(s)from the workplace in order to limit the _damage or loss Conducting interviews Gathering documentary and IT evidence Quantifying the damage or loss Preparing a report to justify termination or discipline
In the second phase, following the employee’s terminationor disciplinary action, we continue to support the client and their counsel by:
Conducting physical surveillance Tracing missing assets Liaising with insurance companies Supporting counsel in litigation to recover assets
Although it is rare for clients to involve the police, in the event that they wish to pursue criminal charges against a former employee, we will liaise with law enforcement and provide them with a comprehensive brief of evidence, therefore minimizing their need to re-investigate.
We provide investigational support in the following areas:
Fraud: Insider Trading, Bribery, Secret Commissions Theft: Inventory, Data, Intellectual Property Harassment: Sexual, Workplace Litigation: Wrongful dismissal, E-Discovery, Anton Pillar Orders IT Forensics: Recovery of erased data, Email analysis Asset Tracing and Recovery Background Investigations Forensic Accounting
