Our Core Services
Investigations
From internal fraud to intellectual property theft, Swailes & Company discreetly investigates sensitive matters with precision and professionalism. We gather facts, document findings, and provide clear, defensible evidence that holds up in court, arbitration, or internal disciplinary proceedings. Whether you’re responding to suspected misconduct, data loss, or reputational threats, our investigative approach is rooted in confidentiality, legal awareness, and real-world results.
Security Consulting
Swailes & Company provides strategic security consulting to help clients identify vulnerabilities, strengthen defenses, and reduce risk from both insider and external threats. We advise on physical and digital security posture, conduct cyber risk assessments, and design insider threat programs tailored to your organization’s size, structure, and exposure. Our goal is to help clients protect sensitive data, intellectual property, personnel, and reputation, before a breach or incident occurs.
Digital Forensics
Swailes Computer Forensics delivers expert digital investigations involving computers, mobile devices, cloud platforms, and storage media. We help clients uncover, preserve, and analyze electronic evidence in a forensically sound manner; supporting civil litigation, internal investigations, and regulatory matters. Our team includes certified forensic examiners with experience serving as expert witnesses in court, providing detailed reports and testimony that stand up to legal scrutiny.
Employment Background Screening
Our background screening division delivers thorough, legally compliant reports aligned with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and industry best practices. We help HR teams, hiring managers, and executives make informed decisions by verifying critical information, from criminal history and employment records to civil litigation, education, and professional credentials. Each screening is tailored to your organization’s risk tolerance and regulatory requirements, ensuring both accuracy and compliance.
