Our Risk Consulting Services
Insider Threat Assessments
Insider threats are among the most difficult risks to detect, and the most damaging when overlooked. Swailes & Company helps organizations assess the likelihood and potential impact of internal misconduct, data theft, sabotage, or policy violations. We evaluate access levels, behavioral red flags, and organizational blind spots across employees, contractors, and third-party partners. The result is a clear, actionable profile of insider risk, along with recommendations to reduce exposure before damage is done.
Executive & Personnel Risk Reviews
High-level employees often carry significant access, to data, systems, strategy, and client relationships. Swailes & Company conducts confidential risk reviews during key transitions such as executive hiring, role changes, or employee departures. We assess the potential for misuse of proprietary information, conflicts of interest, or reputational exposure. These reviews help organizations manage offboarding more securely, prevent future liability, and ensure continuity of leadership without unnecessary risk.
Intellectual Property Protection
Your intellectual property is often your most valuable asset, and one of the easiest for insiders to take. Swailes & Company helps organizations safeguard proprietary designs, trade secrets, client data, source code, algorithms, and internal processes. We assist with proactive IP risk assessments, monitor for policy violations, and conduct post-exit investigations when theft is suspected. Our team also supports legal counsel with NDA enforcement and litigation-ready documentation to protect what you’ve built.
Cybersecurity Audits
Swailes & Company conducts cybersecurity audits that focus on internal policies, procedures, and human risk factors, beyond technical defenses. We review how your organization manages access, enforces data handling protocols, responds to threats, and educates employees on security awareness. These audits help identify gaps in your security posture, strengthen compliance efforts, and reduce the risk of insider-driven incidents. It’s a practical, policy-driven approach to cybersecurity, tailored to your business, not just your network.
TSCM (Technical Surveillance Countermeasures)
Swailes & Company conducts professional sweeps of executive offices, conference rooms, boardrooms, and other sensitive areas to detect and eliminate unauthorized surveillance devices. Our TSCM services identify hidden cameras, audio bugs, GPS trackers, wireless transmitters, and other eavesdropping tools that may compromise confidentiality. We also assess physical and technical vulnerabilities that could enable future breaches, helping protect your communications, intellectual property, and strategic discussions.
Security Program Development
An effective security posture starts with clear, enforceable policies. Swailes & Company works with leadership teams to design and implement internal security programs that reduce risk, improve compliance, and promote a culture of accountability. We help create written protocols, staff training modules, access control policies, and response procedures tailored to your organization’s size, industry, and threat profile. Whether you’re starting from scratch or strengthening existing safeguards, we deliver practical strategies that protect people, data, and assets.
Our Approach
We begin with a consultation to understand your concerns, followed by a tailored plan. Whether the solution involves interviews, technical tools, site sweeps, or policy changes, we provide clear documentation and action steps.
