False or negative statements harmful to your business
Corporate slander refers to using untrue statements or other types of disinformation/misinformation, altered data, which the offenders have taken out of context to damage somebody their reputation. Consequently, this will then cause a company to permanently lose money, and brand reputation.
In case someone slanders your business, sometimes the business does not need to show the actual harm. False-negative statements are indeed harmful to your business.
Damage to your Business, Corporation & Organization
It is normal to get a lot of negative or positive comments as a business, individual, or organization. S sometimes negative comments can take the form of hate campaigns or pure gossip. All this can be very damaging to your business.
Spreading lies and half-truths is done with the intent to damage a business. At all times you must protect your company’s brand plus reputation from false claims.
Collection of Evidence. Corporate Slander Investigation.
Evidently, corporate slander sometimes leads to defamation cases, and in order to prove this in court, specific & relevant evidence is needed.
Apart from all the above, we recommend keeping an eye on slander in the workplace. Negative communication can get out of control very fast. If not corrected, you will end up with very toxic work cultures.
Don’t hesitate to contact us about your specific situation and requirements. We can investigate your case to collect evidence that can be used in a court of law.
Most official criminal investigations can only be conducted by a law enforcement agency or other relevant authorities.
But if the police do not have enough resources to investigate a potentially criminal act, then the help of a private investigator can be called in.
As Private investigators, we will investigate the suspicion of criminal activity, when the rightful authorities have not filed charges or when the crime remained unsolved.
The questions to ask:
was a crime committed?
if so; who did, what, how, when, where, and why.
Our criminal investigations include:
the search for evidence – gathering proof and documentation
conducting interviews with witnesses, coroners, doctors, police, bystanders
interrogations are done by the police
the evidence is collected and preserved
depending on the case other methods of investigation are applied
different forensic science investigative technique is used
provide support to lawyers to present the evidence in the criminal court of law
The “indicators of suspicion” in investigations lead to suspects:
The motives to commit a crime:
– money – revenge – other reasons
The means to commit a crime:
– tools – capabilities
The opportunity to commit a crime:
(presence at the crime scene during the time of the offense).

In many cases, a criminal background check is needed. In companies, we use this method to verify if a potential employee is reliable, and honest. How do you know if somebody might become a threat to others or even your company? What is the best way to protect your company from lawsuits? Consequently, certain measures are needed to reduce criminal risk exposure due to careless recruitment of the wrong candidates?
This is where the concept of a criminal background check comes into play.
AR INTELL will check digital records, paper trails, and official records. In some instances, the police or other authorities and entities keep track of certain indicators. Private investigators might be able to get this kind of information.
What types of background checks can be done?
There are many scenarios whereby you might want to check if an applicant has a criminal record of some sort. Take for example:
pre-employment screening
educational screening
loan application check
criminal history check
tenant screening
childcare background checks for childcare workers
gun sales background checks
volunteer organization screenings
security clearance screenings

Software countermeasures and Cyber Security
As an individual, organization, or company you might have concerns over your privacy relating to premises, conversations, and places where you store your confidential data or conduct private & confidential conversations. How sure are you that your office or meeting places are not bugged with spy devices? Have you checked?
This is why in cybersecurity software countermeasures can prevent all sorts of cyber-intrusions, cyber espionage, data-exfiltration, snooping, and data theft of personally identifiable information (PID).

The term “Proxy Contest” refers to a shareholder’s challenge to an action or the control of corporate management accomplished through the solicitation of proxies from other shareholders or stakeholders with effective power. This is also called “proxy fight” or “proxy battle”.
There could be a scenario emerging whereby a powerful group of shareholders in a company will team up and will try to oppose the existing management or vote out the current board of directors. This is a powerplay between the shareholders and corporate management over the control of the company or organization. Sometimes this is part of a hostile takeover.
In case of such a proxy contest occurring, it might need to be investigated why for example shareholders are unsatisfied with the current management, corporate governance, or business decisions.
